Manipulated photo of MSN Space friend, Kimberly. Before I returned to canvas I was experimenting with ways to convert photos into paintings using video FX. This particular frame taken from automated graduation of effect looks a bit like a carpet design. As part of research I collect photos of MSN fiends (after asking for permission) then choose which faces to put on canvas. Also I make montages of these photos and send them to youtube under the name 'pq4u2' aswell as some manipulation videos of famous and new art.
