NOIR! (Summer 2010)
Probably the most photo-realistic portraits I've been able to make in the post-it medium, the NOIR! portraits represent a combination of digital imaging and stencil work applied to the standard post-it mosaic format. Each portrait was designed using a block-by-block grid system similar in nature to a reduction print, and the five portraits together took an entire summer to produce. The figures are all classic film stars, and each represents a standard character from the dark and gritty world of film noir.
The Femme Fatale
(Gene Tierney)
The Hard-Boiled Private Eye
(Dana Andrews)
The Starry-Eyed Heiress
(Jane Greer)
The Sinister Gangster
(Edward G. Robinson)
The Reclusive, Eccentric Billionaire
(Sydney Greenstreet)
Because these portraits are so interconnected, this is a set that I don't want to see broken up, so until I find a buyer willing to invest in all five, they will remain in my collection.
