I took a picture of my daughter from the summer and added a Warhol effect to it
I’ve thought about designing a clown character and I intended him to be creepy, but then I’ve found a nice picture, which depicts Coco the clown. It is not at all creepy. I decided to create something positive with this picture and I remembered a ds106 assignment idea, where something has to be warholed.
Again I used Gimp to achieve this effect, which is known from many pop art designs by Andy Warhol.
I started by using from the Colors Menu the Threshold option, where the picture is changed into one with only black and white values. Then I added a new layer, which I provided with a color. I set the layer mode to Multiply. Any white area of the image has now the layer color. Finally, by creating new layers, I painted over the image and colord the hair, eyes and mouth. I used different layer modes to combine it with the image. Like this the black areas remain still noticeable.
Now it is easy to use from the Colors Menu the Hue-Saturation-Tool to change the hue and to combine images with different hues.

Warholing an animated stereo GIF of a rock band
Last night I was writing up my post for “Have a Rockin’ Birthday” with the usual addition of a nice tutorial to share with others since no one had posted one yet. It slowly dawned on me how much work I actually put into completing one of my DS106 assignments. I’m definitely puttin’ on my “A” game that ScottLo and “Prof.” Groom referred to in LoDown episode 15 today. I want more stars! [Imagine little Rockylou threatening to throw a tantrum.] I think the creative star accounting I’ve used for this particular assignment should help toward remedying the situation. Especially since I spent practically no time creating this one.
1. I downloaded an App called GIFBoom to my iPhone (for free) that lets me take my own photos and turn them into a GIF.
2. I found two quick shots on my iPhone from a band gig I’d documented a few months back.

3. They worked great to show the stereo GIF effect.

4. The App gave me several options to add an additional effect. I chose the Warhol filter.

5. Ta Da! Assignment complete. Blog post written.
Animated, Rock ‘n’ Roll GIF Completed!
By my count that’s 6 stars! What say you Prof. Groom?
Andy Warhol was an innovator in the world of Pop Art, blurring the line between commercial art and fine art, between artist-as-creator and artist-as-appropriator. Claes Oldenburg is an innovator in the world of Pop Art, blurring the line between everyday objects as objects and everyday objects as art. In both cases, the implication of artistic ownership is one of freedom: freedom to represent, freedom to appropriate, freedom to modify, freedom to mass produce.
In the spirit of artistic freedom and appropriation, and in homage to a recent image posted by cogdog on his trip through the midwest, I present an appropriation of an image by Laszlo Ilyes (laszlo-photo) (cc by 2.0 found on Flickr at http://flic.kr/p/EEbET). I choose this particular image because the letters in FREE were almost plain white, to see if that would have any particular affective with the Warholizing process. And because it was Creative Commons licensed for use and modification.
Here is Laszlo’s original photo of Oldenburg’s creation:

And here is my appropriation, Warholization (using the services of LunaPic http://www.lunapic.com, and alteration (flipping the center image using Gimp).
Art is Free
This is an easy on inspired by Katy Chase, who did an Invaders-inspired version of the Warhol Something assignment. I haven’t done it yet, so I figured what the hell! I simply cropped out an image of the “alien” from the Twilight Zone episode “The Invaders” (you can see it to the right), and then I ran in through this LunaPic Warhol effect site, and BAM! Just be sure to right-click on the image and save it to your computer to upload it on your site.
Eventually I am gonna try and animate each of the 9 image with there various Warhol-inspired colors, but that will be a design assignment for next week, cause I gotta move.
2 Stars Easy as pie!
So, I was kinda getting bored of the visual assignments that were listed, so I clicked on the “try random one” button to find something new that no one else was really doing. I came across this assignment called “Warhol Something” and decided to give it a shot. At first, I was trying to use GIMP, but I couldn’t find a filter that matched and was getting impatient, so I googled “Pop Art Editor.” One of the first Google results was a site called PicMonkey. On here, I took a random picture on Photo Booth, uploaded it, used the “Warhol” effect (how fortunate for me!), changed the colours, and I’m done! Too bad my picture isn’t as cool as Andy’s are, but hey, I’m not really an artsy-fartsy kind of person.
Warhol Something:
I took a picture of myself, and I edited as a Pop Art. I used Fotoflexer that allowed me to create a “Pop Art.”
Warhol Something, or basically increase the threshold in Photoshop, and fill the areas with bold colors.
Warhol Something, by Annie Grotophorst was a fun and interesting assignment. “Andy Warhol was an iconic pop art mastermind. Now you can be one too! Take a photograph, or use an existing one, and create a piece of pop art. You can use something ordinary, like Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup can, or do a portrait, like Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe.” I chose to use a photo from my senior prom to hue. I just uploaded my picture to photoshop and messed up with the hue settings and sketch settings to make it more effective and this is what I ended up with (:
