This one is one of my all time favs. Eric Clapton, done in collage. For this project, which was done in school, I was only allowed to use news paper clippings. Instead of using blocks of text as tones, I just decided to use flat tones, mostly from the advertisements and photos.

Excellent rendition of EC
Excellent rendition of EC and that you created it with newspaper as your medium is even more astounding. I thought it was gouache initially.

Thanks
The projects outcome was quite interesting: some people used only blocks of text from the newspapers, some used a hole puncher and used the confetti to create their images. As much as I like this one though it can never do justice to Mr Clapton.
hey hey
Too true. The man is classic blues. Wouldn't be a hardship to listen to him all night long.

very nice, I like how you
very nice, I like how you draw the glass w/ lens in it and it's drawn in newspaper. awesome. haven't tried this one. I just tried face in mosaic as part of the school project before. Did you color it or not?
No, actually
When I scanned it I made it a black and white file, the original one has yellowed a bit over the years.
