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.
