New Art: Mom’s Confirmation

April 21, 2008

This photograph was taken when my mother was 12 years old, in France at her Confirmation.

This is what I did to it: gave it some color, added/subtracted, and just had fun with it:

I also redid my banner and made it more “playful” and “edgy”.

New Art: The Princess

March 19, 2008

She’s no longer a “Princess Brat” because we’ve got “16″ closing in on us sooner than I want to believe in. Here is an image that I just finished. SHE took the picture of herself and I photo-manipulated/painted it. Keep in mind all of my work go through many processes before I reach the “photo manipulation” part.

New Art: Grandmother the Clown and Me

March 12, 2008

I was, I think, two in this picture. This is her original costume–the daisy is prominent because her clown name was “Crazy Daizy”. I believe this was a birthday party for me. As always, click on thumbnail for full view.
