Men Who Shaped Me (…in Shapes)

Last summer I began working on a style that involved using simple geometric shapes to “paint a picture.”
The experimentation began with self-portraiture and was applied over the summer months to: well-known artworks, landmarks, animals, Sesame Street characters, New York City scenes, space-scapes and back to portraiture.
Playing around with the style again recently, I recalled how my wife preferred the look of the works before they were completed with a digital “smudge.”
So, I played with simply using the color in the lines to create the fill. The effect worked, but I felt the shapes themselves were lost to the overlapping.
