Dada/Pop Art

A bit of both, but mostly pop art. I found an image with the frames from Edison's early 'moving image' recording of a man sneezing.

Different. Interesting technique. How did You get the warping of the red part?

It looks almost perfectly like an old tv set would warp an image at the edges and corners. Well done

Thank you, jazzon. That is exactly what I wanted it to look like. Now I've adapted it to Di Sneezl or Di Stijl, if you will...

I just can't get away from the pop art angle...

2 variations on one new piece. The title(s) speak for it/themselves...

Actually, it's the head of Maynard G. Krebs (Poster boy for the Beat Generation), being shot from a civil war cannon by Jackson Pollock (Poster boy for the Abstract Expressionists), in front of a idyllic background painted by Grant Wood (Poster boy for the Regionalist faction of the American Scene movement).

Hence the title. :bigthup

**Edit - v2 throws in the Roy Lichtenstein filter from the FX Foundry on the Grant Wood background to cover the Pop Art angle.

New one, but not borrowed (Well, the idea, as you will be able to tell, was...), but not the art.

I had to do this in Inkscape, because I did not like what GIMP did to my text.

Okay, last post in this thread. Wrapping it all up with my final project. The culmination of my efforts: Digital Dada. Digital Dada is a free PDF file I have created in a Dada-esque fashion to celebrate the post-WWI art movement. It contains all of the images I have posted here, along with a couple others, and the complete Dada Manifesto, written by Tristan Tzara March 23rd, 1918.

I can only lay claim to one image, that with the cans, which I actually took myself, using GIMP to complete it. All the rest were grabbed from the web and tweaked/combined in GIMP, Inkscape and an old copy of Photoshop CS2. Put together in final form in Scribus.

It was a lot of fun in the making. I hope you enjoy.
