Artist Challenge #5: Roy Lichtenstein

April 29th, 2011
First, thank you so much everyone who voted on my photo, you guys made me happy! It is good to see different diversities working and doing art.

Make a photograph based on a famous artist, right?
(Feel free to go beyond just copying an artist's work) The next artist we will use as inspiration is Roy Lichtenstein, one of my favorites, and if you need some inspiration go here: http://www.lichtensteinfoundation.org/ or Google the name Roy Lichtenstein.
.
The next artist challenge will have a different artist and so on...


Five finalist's work will be chosen and posted. The 365 community will choose a winner from this group of five by voting.

To participate please include "theme-Lichtenstein" as a tag. You may begin now and the challenged will be closed at 7th of May at midnight. Only work done from today the 28th of April to 7th of May will be accepted.

(It would be fun to put a copy of the pic in this thread. Might even help others.

Some works i did a while ago:







HAPPY EDITING!

Neat choice! I'll admit I've seen his work but never really knew his name so I'll have fun researching him.

Didn't turn out quite as Lichtenstein-ish as I'd hoped but I'm happy with my first attempt.
