Description
Here's another one. This is actually two weeks worth, since I didn't update the last time around (there were only two artists that time, didn't feel the need to submit just those).Anyway, artists this time are, from left to right, Bridget Riley, Andy Warhol, Quentin Blake, Kerry Phippen, Vincent Van Gogh and Francisco Goya.
Mediums used were pencil, sharpie (jesus, the marker fumes...), watercolors and acrylics. Let me know your thoughts!

Pencils, color paints, markers, and even today's fine digital technology are mere tools, creativity lies in the artist which makes him unique^_^

the first and the last are my faves; great use of type in the Bridget Riley, i don't think i was expecting any to be there and it keeps drawing my eye back to the page
and the colors in the Goya are wonderful! i love the mix of cold and warm colors, it's as if the person were facing a fire yet his back is left chill to the cold - it really jumps out

The Warhol and Goya ones are amazing.
The composition of the Warhol one is what I like best about it, and the Goya one just has really vibrant colours.
Good work, yo.

I never liked Art History at school but you've made me curious about 2 of the ones I don't know:
Bridget Riley and Kerry Phippen.
Let's see if I find that your paintings are better!

Trust me, Bridget Riley is someone whose work you have to see the originals of to get the real impression. That tiny A5 copy I did is absolutely nothing compared to what she does. While I am honestly not a huge fan of her work, I did see some of her paintings in an exhibition only recently, and they have a completely different effect in real life. They really warp your mind, and staring at one piece for too long might make you dizzy, haha.
Thanks for the compliment, but my copu doesn't come close to what she achieves with her originals.

I love the warhol one, its just so friggin perfect, something you would think he would do himself. The goya reminds me alot of his massacre peice which alot of ppl know him by.I think these are a nice way to get people intrested in these artits to learn more, thanks for the idea, may use it when I get to teach.

That's pretty damn awesome! The Quintin Blake and the Van Gogh ones are especially brilliant. Although I think you could've done a lot more with Andy Warhol.
Looks like you're having a lot of fun with these!

Yeah, I had better plans for some of these, but sometimes you gotta cut corners when there's simply not enough time left in the day.
Actually I just wish I had a screen printing press in my room.

I love how/where you put the text in each one.
It gives more to it and makes them seem more like images not 'work' as such.

Not a bad one at that. Next time, Gadget!
