If you liked it…

Apparently, Beyoncé provided inspiration to more than just all the single ladies.

Using a ring to bind someone you covet into your dark and twisted world? Wow, just got the subtext there. Also, the apparently eager Beyoncé would've made one badass Nazgȗl.

I came across this set of art posters by Justin Van Genderen, graphic designer out of Chicago. Very cool. Here’s my fav from the bunch:
