Warholizing Old Jacques
Found this great website that converts an ordinary digital picture into an Andy Warhol-style poster. Andy Warhol was the central figure of what we now know as the Pop Art Movement.
According to Wikipedia; He switched to silkscreen prints, which he produced serially, seeking not only to make art of mass-produced items but to mass produce the art itself.
In declaring that he wanted to be “a machine”, and in minimizing the role of his own hand in the production of his work, Warhol sparked a revolution in art; his work quickly became very controversial — and popular. One of his more recognizable illustrations is that of a portrait of the late Marilyn Monroe.
Back to the Warholizer site; all you have to do is upload a digital picture and after waiting for a short while you get your Warhol Poster. I tried it by submitting an old illustration of Jacques DeMolay, and the picture shown here is what I got.
Try it, it’s hip and fun. Click here to go to the site.
