A couple of weeks ago I was doodling around with photoshop and remembered I wanted to recreate an effect I had seen at some other point in time. I was an effect that Andy Warhol would use on some of his portraiture work.
With an illustrators background, Warhol was not exactly accepted as an "artist" by the traditional art community. He would have these hard edge, high contrasty images that looked almost mechanical. Something that was so simple in its presentation but many times complex in its content. Further demonstrating the dichotomy of Warhol himself.
Painter, Photographer, Producer, Director, Musician, Actor, and the list goes on. It does not matter if you liked the man or not, agreed with his positions or not, Warhol was definitely a uniquely weird and bizarre individual. Leaving a permanent mark in the arts.
Hey... Hope you are having a great Christmas Eve and looking forward to a special Christmas day tomorrow.
Cya... Doug
