Photomanipulation nominee

This series showcases my work within mixed media photographic genres - studio portrait photography -painting and graffiti - created as a contemporary celebration for my love of 1980's street and lowbrow art - with my usual dose of Film Noir aesthetics. The work of artists such as Richard Hambleton and Jean Michel Basquiat inspires these works of contemporary art, my intention being to create a new brand of psychedelic and Film Noir influenced mixed media artistry, using a colorful palette to transform conventional studio portraiture to something new, and visually impactful.
