mashup one /// CONSCIOUSNESS

[Anthony // Brooklyn Art Project]

The theme of our first mash-up is "consciousness". It's something we all experience, yet even the most brilliant minds struggle to grasp it. Artists over the ages have created their own depictions of it. Now it's our turn.

/// step 1 ///
Download the hi-resolution (300 dpi) base image below or another member submission. YOU CAN START WITH ANY IMAGE YOU LIKE. Starting with the base image (first one below) gives you the most canvas space to create.

/// step 2 ///
Draw, paint, use Illustrator, Photoshop, or even print it out, then scan the final back in. When your done, upload one hi-res image and one low.

/// step 3 ///
Include the low-res jpg (same dimensions) in your post so everyone can see your work.

We'll be featuring submissions on the home page photo album.
Happy mashing. If you have a question, just post it here.

Hello,

Im new here and to be honest, I am not sure if my piece broke the rules of the contest or if i did this the right way. I started off from the second piece. There are a lot of really awesome sketches in there. I kept the original art in place, but faded it down. I then duplicated and worked with the various pieces, as well as adding my own. If this is not right please forgive me as I just didn't understant things, and will delete this post if it is wrong. I had a lot of fun either way working with such great images and hope that if it is wrong, it didn't offend the original artist in any way.

Thanks so much.
