Help Me Make Celebrity Art

I tried to have some coworkers identify all four celebrities. No one could get all four without having to resort to imdb. I think I'm gonna' make some more but I need ideas on who I should choose. People with distinct features are easier.

Suggestions pls.

OMG I'd do Emo but no one sans a select few would get it.

You would probably be surprised how many know that picture.

I'm doing Emo ATM, but it's hard to capture his expression of emptiness. I'll post what I've got when I'm done. But meh.

How are these made?

[rivalrys]

Johnny Cash has good features for these...I have one in my music/bonus room.

[Sacks]

Ahem.

[liquidstatik]

c'mon man, what's takin so long >:

[sloth]

are you using illustrator for these? i've tried this before for stencils, and its so much harder than it looks - especially for black/white only. amazing job.

[McClain]

The first ones I did were in Ps. I did Walken in Illustrator and mashed it a bit in Ps. Some come out well, others look like shit. I tried Ray Liotta, Emo Phillips, David Carradine and a few more celebs, but they just don't look right. Maybe I'll show the David Carradine since it's the best of the bads.

My crack at that Hendrix photo. I opted to omit his fingers as they didn't translate well, though I wish I could have made them work.

It looks like one of those electric rainbow Jesus/Marys you'll find in Puerto Rican shops.

I'm sure that's one way to do it, but no.

And yes. That's Jeremy Irons.

[Sacks]

I like the work here and do some TShirts of rock stars, music related things, and the Hendrix is fantastic. (of course the original real image is copyrighted so can't use that) ..

My photographers have original images of everyone ever in the music biz, from Coltrane to Nickelback. Hendrix, Neil young (I got that one all picked out), STEVIE RAY VAUGHN ALL ICONIC IMAGES OF ICONS. In all genres. We sell their work at festivals and are looking to do something in tShirts and this has "shirt" Poster, bumper sticker.. written all over it.

So let's see what you can do with Jerry, cuz that would sell like crazy and we can all make some money.

So thanks. :lol:picklehat:halloween:confused

As it is my first post on this site, which is incredible by the way, I cant post links but if you could IM me that would be great.


BTW: be sure to water mark all your work. Nothing more frustrating than seeing your stuff out there.

As well as the representative of Larry Hulst photography,I am the executive director of a soon to be non dormant non profit, The Make A Fish Foundation (Parental care period). We bring the opportunity for people to create art through community events. "Creating community thru community creativity".

We also sell other artists fish related items at events and online. MAKE A FISH, for the Fish. I make fish pendants and tie dyed lanterns and am always looking for fish to use on all of our products. So lets' see a fish!
