We’ve all been there. You meet your Prince Charming while you’re lost in a dreamy daze, he saves you from a treacherous dragon, and you ride into happily ever after. The end.

Now, you can finally grasp what it’d be like to have Justin Bieber whisk you away on horseback thanks to artist Daniel Kordek, who gives iconic pop stars Disney-inspired makeovers thanks to impressive digitization, imagination, and pen-to-paper skills.

The artist has masterfully balanced reality and animation through his assorted past works, but in his Inktober series, everyone is sure to recognize these familiar faces. The collection features idols like Madonna, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, and Adele, bringing magic to these A-list celebs.

The artist successfully reimagines more notable icons (like Audrey Hepburn and Angelina Jolie), which you can geek out over on his website.

Thank you Kordek, for helping take Bieber Fever to new, magical heights.
