Fringe Friends
Came up with an illustration style that was inspired by technologically processed imagery. In my personal artwork I'm very influenced by technology but always find technologically processed imagery a bit predictable and cold. Finding the place where the human hand and technological prowess blend is my favorite. This series studies a list of celebrities I could think of off the top of my head. Working from web images I converted them all to semi-recognizable works of art to my own liking.
The pieces were debuted at a group art show called "Anyone Can Do Anything." Each work was displayed salon style in a custom-refinished frame. Most of these are for sale as prints and a few framed originals from the exhibit are still available.
