| This was an entry for a "Week in Pictures" contest at FreakingNews.com. The news story I chose for this manipulation was about a new US troop commander taking over. It took bronze. I decided to feature General Bean on my main page because he seems to be quite popular to my surprise. I used this image to launch my new blog: [link] Hope you enjoy! |

| This is a manipulated caricature of film director, producer, writer and artist Tim Burton. The image I used was from an actual exhibit of Burton's art at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The exhibit spanned his entire life and included artwork he did as a teen. I've posted the source image here [link] as well as video interview of Burton behind the scenes at the MOMA exhibit in 2009. |
| This is a photo-manipulated caricature of Mick Jagger from The Rolling Stones. The Stones are one of the most important bands in the history of music and some of the most well known faces. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards especially have great character in their faces, perfect for caricatures. I want to do Keith Richards in the near future. These guys have been around for a long time and are still making music. I've posted the source picture as well as a great video of one of their classics, "Angie" on my blog: [link] So, here's to one of the greatest bands in the history of music. |
| Another manipulated caricature of Rapper Jay-Z. He has those famous lips and ears so I couldn't resist. I've enjoyed doing this sort of mini series on Rappers. They have lots of character and pretty much anything goes as far as the background is concerned, although I had a little trouble deciding what to do with this one. I must have scrapped 10 versions. I'm still not sure about it but it's done and I seldom revisit a manipulation. Once they're done, it's history. Time to move on and try and make something better. I've included the source images I used as well as an funny interview with Jay-Z by David Letterman at: [link] |
| This is a straightforward photo-manipulation, no caricature this time. I think this is a serious subject and I just wanted to express my feelings about Facebook's unfair censorship. I can understand protecting young children from graphic images, but to mutilate a work of art, even a Master's work is wrong. There must be another way. Take DeviantArt.com for instance. They actually have adult content on their site and to protect minors from such content, they have taken measures to mask any nudity or violence so only responsible adults can see it, and really the biggest plus is that it gives the viewer a choice, and a warning of the content. Dali is going to turn over in his grave after seeing what I did to his painting of his dear wife, but it was for a cause and I think he would agree about the mindless censorship going on. Just thought I would put my two cents in. Blog post: [link] |
