Peter's reaction after going viral

The teen who made the fan-art said he didn't plan to make a redesign of the "Smile" cover. However, when he saw a hint of the clown and circus visuals, he imagined what it could've been on a bigger scale. When he started putting the idea together, the result came so well, said Peter according to Insider. Peter used the clown imagery from the original album cover and turned Katy Perry's blue-white checked outfit to a circus tent. He added that it took him one or two days to do the art.

The idea was inspired by the FX television show "American Horror Story," and Peter used Adobe Photoshop to manifest his ideas. Also, Peter added exploding fireworks and winding roller coasters behind Katy Perry's image.  The teen was so happy that people loved his work.  Though he got big reactions to his previous designs, Peter said that the art he made for Katy Perry was completely new.

Peter is known by his Twitter username, "FAMEKILLED." He has more than 7,400 followers and has been a stan Twitter since 2015. Also, he told Insider that he is a super fan of Lady Gaga. According to Insider, Peter is a self-taught artist. His post on Friday has been retweeted 12,000 times and received over 80k likes.
