Oh yeah… a picture of a picture of me… inside a picture.

See, I am in there. I took that old drawing I did of an old photo of me, and using an app, I combined myself with a Japanese wave painting. Now I am some sort of mutant water buffalo god.
Feel free to ask some questions, if you want to do stuff like this yourself. I can totally talk you through it.

Well, technically speaking, it is a picture of a picture of me… inside another picture. I look like a really wet water buffalo. Try squinting.

See, the thing is… and this is a thing that might actually be more than one thing… but that ugly picture I posted earlier… the one on the right in the picture above… is made by combining an ink and colored picture I did of an old photo of myself with a famous painting.
The other thing is… and this isn’t one of my things, it is just an actual thing… but art is always an experiment. You learn as much or more from failed attempts at art than you do from things you are already good at.
So when it comes to art, it is a little like babies… there are no ugly babies or works of art… even though, in this one, I did end up looking like a mutant Popeye water devil.
Also, I can totally teach you how and where I am doing this kind of stuff if you are interested in doing something like it yourself. And this combining famous art with photos works not only on pictures of people. You can do it with pictures of cities or mountains or whatever. In fact, for some of these, that would work even better.

Yes… I admit it… that is not… and it pains me to say this… a good picture of a picture of a picture of me… but it is still pretty cool, and I will explain why… in the next post.

I have been making most of these pictures of myself using an app… which I can tell you how to do too, if you so wish… but, lest we forget that Art actually is an artist, and can therefore render himself thusly, here is an ink and colored pencil drawing of that sexy old photo of myself that I posted not long ago.

You gotta love the fall colors…

Uh… I blended myself with buildings… and now I have a pig nose with a slanted roof on it… sigh…

I got the willies, the heebyjeebies and the creeps
