Friends Famous for Fifteen Minutes

I've been experimenting with some iconic treatments of classic pictures of friends. Two examples are shown here, one of my friend Keith in a musical as Groucho Marx, who is a favorite of his. The other is Di Anna, naturally competitive, shown in a great pose. I did one of my mom from the '40s in her swim suit, but it has been lost on my computer. It may still exist on the home computer.

These got printed out on canvas and wrapped on stretcher bars like any other  piece of artwork – an oil painting, for instance. I think it makes a great presentation. The square one is a great 16x16 size, kind of like a record album cover. The rectangular one is about 22-24 inches long. 

Just wanted to hear what you guys think about 'em.

  1. Oh yeah! See if you can find a picture of me starring in a Walter Anderson Players production. THEN we'll know you have almost-famous friends!

    Great blogstuff! Drive-ins, yeah, baby! Can't believe I posted the stuff about the Parklane BEFORE you gave me a drive-in flashback.
