pop the bubble


My previous set of pumped up posters have been more about those digital manipulation. But I look back at my magazine scribbles and inspired to do some more pop art influenced artworks.

Pop art has been undermined in the past yet somehow overly used in this present day, yet exposing it without getting in touch with its true essence and stand point in social criticism. The art movement had been known towards criticizing commercialism, just like by how Warhol uses top commercialised products (i.e. the coca cola or the campbell's soup) in some of his works. It also evoke some sense of paradigm shift by promoting a less 'art'-sy technical approach in creating the works, like Lichtenstein's usage of comic-style illustration.

Thus, in a way, opting the pop art approach fits in perfectly here. My initial idea of recreating some of this ad campaigns is in the same spirit of pop art to recreate what can be stated as art.

re-work it!


Like you've seen before, with a bit of patience and creativity, revamping posters could be quite fun. Here are more of my works as I promised before.


PRADA



LOUIS VUITTON



GIVENCHY



MCQUEEN








No need to go all fancy schmancy on this. Basic photoshop skills would do.  Just find a good stock image to work with, and let inspiration come to you :)

goin bananas for prada



To start the new year, I'll be making up for my lack of fashion-related posts lately as I promised.

Just so you know, I've not always been a huge follower of Prada, but lately I just fell in love with most of their collection somehow. A favorite of mine is definitely the minimalistic-baroque meet quirky mexican monkey summer 2011 collection.


and I can't get this song out of my head too,
its, 'mirando' by Ratatat


Instead of just drooling over the pics of the heavenly wingtip brogue creepers, I decided to turn my fascination into artworks









and more works are coming soon, I promise :)
