Fame and Fortune

While waiting for a shipment of acrylic paint I experimented with a drawing of Freddie Mercury, legendary lead singer of Queen. I drew the image and scanned it over a year ago. Today I opened the scan in Illustrator, traced it as a vector image and enlarged it from approximately 7" x 7" to 30" x 30". I opened the Illustrator file in Photoshop, applied some filters, masked some areas of multiple layers, applied several texture backgrounds, then change the blend mode of a couple of the background layers. Next I'll order a digital print on aluminum and add it to the series of metal prints that I'm working on now.

And Everything That Goes With It
