Here are a few more from the Daily Creations Dept. ... in no particular order....
-
4/29 Joaquin Phoenix: actor turned rapper, was rapping unintelligibly when a heckler started mocking him. Phoenix leaped into the crowd entwining himself, wrestling and snarling with the hapless heckler. Source: Some tabloid. Did you see the Letterman clip?
 |
- 4/24 Anthony “Fat Tony” Salerno... from a mug shot. Ever see Mug Shots magazine?? Arrest photos are becoming an increasing source of fun and frivolity for Americans. Many of these photos are of those who have been arrested - but not yet convicted - causing concern with many...like those arrested! Perhaps one intention is to deter crime through public humiliation. (Fat Tony was convicted in ’86).

John, these are exquisite!

More beautiful work from John. That Giggles character is one scary looking buckaroo.
James Steinberg May 5, 2009
I'm really digging these explorations, John. Adventurous and terrific.
Mark Fisher May 5, 2009
John, nice array of approaches.
John Dykes May 5, 2009
I appreciate the thoughts - thanks... I am trying to balance doing the 'one a day' without pushing them out too quickly or too rushed. This exercise is good for keeping fresh and not overworking them...
Dale Stephanos May 5, 2009
Not a bad one in the batch. You got yerself a wide variety of approaches there. I like 'em!
Chris Buzelli May 5, 2009
These are awesome! Especially the first 6. Great exploration. I get so intimidated with portraits.
Tim OBrien May 6, 2009
Man, what style CAN'T you do? I love the Robert Gibbs.
TBower May 6, 2009
These are really great, John.
The melding of digital and organic traditional seems intuitive to you.
Not often do the two fit so well.
