Lichtenstein Revisited

Back almost four years ago I happened on Roy Lichtenstein and his campy Pop Art. I like the look of the "I can see the whole room" artwork, and here have modified it into a size fitting to using as a computer wallpaper.

A bit after that, if you recall, I did up my interpretation as cup art, with work related text, which I've reposted here.

I don't remember how the inspiration for it came about, but I decided that I needed to use it as a wallpaper image again. That's how the modified image here came about.

Also, I was in need of a new artwork for my board at work, which is where I do my expressions these days. I had tried to do a snowflake (to go with the frigid weather we've been having these days) but that quickly spiraled out of control.

So, I thought I'd try my hand at this image again. I wasn't thrilled with how the first one I'd tried had come out. Taking a little more time and care, it came out better, but still not quite there. Primarily, in the original only one eye is visible.

My final attempt came out quite good, I thought, so far!!! I'm going to add some more black around it. Co-workers got a kick out of it last time, and we've got a lot of new ones these days, so this ought to entertain!!!

While looking around for a good version to morph into a wallpaper, it also occurred to me that these days phone wallpaper is more often in demand, and I was also in need of a new lock screen for mine, so I morphed it that way, too.

And how does one go about getting a Roy Lichtenstein image morphed into a wallpaper or lock screen size??? With an Image Duplicator, of course!!!

I'll be over here, waiting for my cease & desist...

Where's My $43.2 Million???

Inspired by a previously posted Roy Lichtenstein painting, I did this likeness and tribute on my cup. Most everyone who sees it at my work loves it!!! I then get to share how it's based on a painting that sold for more than 43 million dollars!!! If you didn't know, that's the area of my work that I'm employed in, the bin structure.

I got to try something in Paint Shop Pro, stitching in the radius from another shot to get the whole quote bubble in. It looks funky and not right, but at least you can read the whole text!!!

About the title of this post: For you, the valued blog reader, I'll let it go for half of the price of the original, along with a signed certificate of authenticity!!!

Where Is Everybody???

There was a picture of this Roy Lichtenstein painting in the paper today. I love it!!! I can imagine someone looking at it hanging on a wall and going, "... HEY!!!"

I'd totally get this and display it, but not at the price that it sold for last year, $43.2 million!!!
