Since then she has added similar likenesses of Kurt Cobain, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, and other icons to her portfolio. Cool.

ANZAC Day also now more broadly commemorates all those who died and served in military operations for their countries.</p> <p>When it comes to this day, despite their subject being American soldiers landing at Omaha Beach on D-Day (6th June 1944), I always think of Robert Capa’s iconic photos.
