Self Portrait Challenge ~ Pop Art


blue boho, canon digital rebel xt & photoshop

This is my first attempt at this week's Self Portrait Challenge of "Pop Art" for the month of June.

I created this with thoughts of Andy Warhol...an artist that I have always found intriguing to say the least. He embodied what it is to me to be super cool. I would definitely crown him the king of pop art.

"Pop art is a significant sociological phenomenon, a mirror of our society."

Even as a BLUE woman you still look fabulous!

I would look like an alien.

I found Warhol too hard on the eyes, but I still appreciate his creativity and individualism.

Hey...do you still have that cool red skirt I made you???

Just think...I'll get to make more holiday portuguese dresses for your little chicken. Yeah! Right?

The lips - the texture in the lips grabs me. What software did you use for this effect?

The orange tones in the lips and the blues all the really set each other off. Very striking.

How do you do it? I continue to dislike all the photos I take of myself and love all of yours! You're gorgeous and your features have so much feeling to them. I love this photo-
