The High Cost of Living by sourkraut

The High Cost of Living

I figured it I was going to be doing a cartoon-esque piece for this week's artist challenge in homage to Roy Lichtenstein I might as well pose as one of my favorite comic characters: Death from The Sandman series.

I'm aware this isn't as Lichtenstein-ish as it could be but I'm happy with the results. Next time I'll try starting with a photo with less darkness and shadows so those important dots don't get so washed out.

great idea, and love it that you give Lichtenstein a flavor that is uniquely your own

I love that you try to expand your skills and participate in artist challenges. I should do it too. It's a great photo - a good mix of Lichtenstein and Querry :)

@relicsong @hjbenson @canaro71 @mikhasus @peterauliciems Thanks!
@nikkers Me or the photo? Either way thanks!
@alecio Since I'm not sure if previous winners should be eligible to win again for the artist challenge I'd prefer if you just didn't count mine when you pick the final five. I want everyone to have a chance to win. I'm still basking in the glory of my previous win. :)
@naladka Thanks! I know this might seem like a strange entry to anyone who doesn't know me but you're right that it's definitely got my own spin on it.

@sourkraut I am sorry I can't promised you that, if I think your photo is good, you are on and that is it.... : )

Lichtenstein is not easy! This is great, are you sure it isn't Michael Jackson?

This is so cool. I like the simple, but exaggerated colours. I agree with Alecio!
