Desperados!
TGIF (every time I say that I feel I’m about to eat burgers and fries). Yes, the weekend has finally arrived. The post comes a bit late today (sorry!) but it comes with a colourful BANG!
Say hello to Markus Linnenbrink, a Brooklyn-based German artist (seriously, Brooklyn and Germany, what a cool combo) who is all about dripping colours, everywhere.
As soon as I saw Markus’ Photodrips collection my eyes popped out like canned spinach in Popeye’s hands. There’s always something magical about photo manipulation – especially when you saturate the image with tons of amazing colours. In this particular collection, I like the way Markus uses “paint drips” as a veil of sorts to hide the image in the back – he doesn’t hide it completely – you just have to step back to see the whole thing (try it! look closely to the colorful lines, then step back and focus on the background – tada!)
I think I am going to add this technique to my “art to-do list” (right after collages, photography, embroidery and artful chimichangas – oh dear, better get crackin’)
Alright, enough rambling. Go get some color!
Happy weekend :)

May I just say, I have throughouly enjoyed Artful Fridays! If anything because you’ve been exposing me to new artists that I might not have otherwise seen or heard of. I’m currently working with one client in furnishing their rather large home as part of the job, I’m being tasked with pulling in a mini-art collection.
Thank you again!

Gah! This is fantastic Brandon. I’m happy you found some inspiration in here to help your client! Now this will motivate me even more to post great art, thanks again, enjoy your weekend.

Very cool style — I haven’t seen this treatment before, and it’s really neat how the photo behind and the color lines in front work together.

Yes, it’s pretty cool how in a way these images are 2 things together – paintings AND photos.
