I've been extremely grateful for any word anyone has written me since I started flickr.

Because of that I am doing a FREE PRINT GIVEAWAY :)

If you're interested, let me know in a comment (flickrmail is too slow, bah)

Prints will be 8X8, and I will let the winner know which photos are available.

Contest closed! :)

I've got that Picasso print hanging on my wall and I've always wanted to put myself in that painting.

texture, though it is pretty unrecognizable after my toying with it.

I think it is hard to look at this and not know what inspired it...though really it was more a recreation of The Death of Marat by David :-)

I've heard the sentiment that there is too much levitation flying around flickr (pun intended) and I agreed in some respect, so I did a 180 and dove straight into one of my passions - recreating classic paintings.

I posted a little "making-of" photo and this final photo on twitter before anywhere else. I surprisingly love twitter!

blog to see the painting that this was inspired by.

I've been on a search for feathers for about 2 weeks now, and yesterday my friend found a store that pretty much only sells feathers. The name of the store was, of all things, "Mother Pluckers Feather Co."

Let us pause a moment to giggle at that :)

**If anyone has a favorite painting that they would like to see recreated, flickrmail me or leave a comment! I'm looking for more inspiration to further this project of reinterpreting paintings in photo form**
