Ok so I'm doing art this year at school and our first unit is Pop Art coupled with lino printing. The criteria is to create a "Reduction Lino Print" featuring one popular, well known celebrity and one mass-produced, well known item. So naturally I decided to pick Chris martin for my celebrity. The artwork also has to contain text of the celebrity saying something. The colours that the print is to include are limited to white, yellow, red, blue and black. The reason I'm telling you all this is that I though some people around here would be able to help.

 

Firstly I need a decent quality picture of chris martin with of his head or from shoulders up. If anyone has any good pictures they would be greatly apprieciated.

Seconded, seeing as no one in the class are allowed to do the same celebrity or item I reserve the lightbulb but I am able to change. However if anyone has any other ideas for an item that I could include in print would be great. Its got to be like the person using it of holding it. Something along those lines.

Thirdly I need ideas for something chris can be saying in the picture. A coldplay song line would be great but it need to tie in with the item. Other phrases of his are also would be good or a cool line that fits would be awesome.

 

Remember that its Pop art so its going to be cartoon style without huge detail. Any contribution would be wonderful. I will update this post as things progress. I will be sure to post my final print. If there is anything I missed just let me know and I will explain.

Uhm.. that's tricky. :thinking: So, you only need a suitable picture, don't you?

pretty much

Does anyone have that photo of Chris flipping off a photographer near a phone booth? :rolleyes:

:dozey:

Chris did that crazy WaterAid

photo shoot with the water tap on his head, you could change it to a lightbulb. :P

 

 

similar to the ones the RHCP wore onstage at Woodstock

 

 

 

"LIGHTS WILL GUIDE YOU HOME........."

:laugh3:

I was thinking that quote but just so you know the item and chris have got to be more or less separate, not attached

Why would Chris be pimping light bulbs? :thinking: Chocolate I could see, but light bulbs? Do him with a Cadbury Egg wearing bunny ears in one of their classic "Thank you Easter Bunny" ads.

any other item ideas.

He's rather fond of cake.

 

"I discovered that my castles stand

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand"

 

:P

that would be perfect rudy except that ive actually go to be able to carve this out of lino and that the item has to be mass produced.

I like the light bulb idea, and what about "and it was all yellow", seeing as though yellow is one of the colours you must include:)

Well the simplest thing I could do is chris' head with a lightbulb above his head meaning he is having an idea and he say "It was all yellow..."

 

But I need a good picture of just chris' head

thats great rudy. Thanks. What about a big headshot of the chris that is in your sig?

how bout this one?

thats a good pic also. thanks. its good to have a wide range to choose from. What about about a picture of chris thinking

These are a couple I found, I don't know how useful they'll be...

 

 

Sounds like a really cool project, by the way. I always liked art but I'm just never any good at it :P

Oh Bryce, I'd like to help you. i'm thinking here, if i had a good idea, i'll post here soon. Well, you asked for a pic of chris thinking:

 

thankyou guys. these are all really good pictures. exactly what i want

If you are doing light bulbs maybe this one. :laugh3:
