Happy Holiday's Inspired Art

Holiday Artwork Inspired By Andy Warhol


Not your typical Warhol inspired art!!!!

Everyone is very familiar with the Pop art by Andy Warhol.
But..... when he was starting out he was a graphic designer/illustrator.
He used a method called the blotted line technique.  Basicly its a printing method
where you trace and flip off of a master drawing.
The line quality that it gives you is really nice...a blotted line.
I've used this method before and really enjoy doing it.
I thought I'ld give this one a mixed media twist.

Here's how it went..........

Inspiration....Thanks Andy!!



Hmmm.... know ornaments....
Thanks Internet!!


Test method....


Gather some old book pages and begin!

Create "Master Drawing"


Register papers....


Begin....





Finished....


Add color & stencil...
( I wanted to use stencils to keep a graphic look)




arrange....


Begin Background...





Ok not that tag....way to ugly!
Don't know what I was thinking!!!!


O.K.....much better!!!!


Some shading with charcoal pencil and....

DONE!





A video too!!!!




Thank you to AJJM for such a great month of inspiration!  
I love art history!
I think its so amazing that artists may only be known for one style
 when they have such an amazing and diverse amount of work!
