WW1 Pilot and carrier pigeon

WW1 Pilot and carrier pigeon

Little experiment with an authentic local newspaper from the day the ww1 ended. It was found in a second-hand shop in a stack of similar papers - this was the most worn of the bunch, so I figured posterity wouldn't bear me any grudges to honor the legacy in this way. No paint or pigments at all were used; minimal additions are all just pieces of the newspaper carefully cut and arranged, interesting shadows created by the creases in the pages where its been laying folded for the last century. Looking forward to another project of this type now that I have a bit of a handle on the delicate textures. I wanted to leave the obvious silhouette of the pilot at the lower left corner, so you can still read (almost) the entire text from that paragraph between the positive and the negative shapes created from it.

Dali through a better lens

Dali through a better lens

This is my old Dali piece made up of bits of his prints, just photographed with better results. The background is a black psychedelic wave pattern. I tried to get interesting textures in there - the artist in his own brushstrokes...
