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

Many of her friends haven’t seen the tattoo on her back. It’s awesome.
