This is my 18x36 "porntrait" of the 1972 Playboy centerfold, Lena Söderberg. This image became popular after it was used in a print lab to test a wide range of image processing algorithms. More about that here About the Lena image This collage, like my others are made from 100% adult magazine paper applied to a wood panel. Check out my other paintings on my website!

Sometimes you have to step away from you computer and use other materials to create art. Here's what's going on here at my studio, torn/cut paper art! Found some vintage nudie photos in an old trunk while digging through an estate sale last month. I thought it would be sad to throw away all the photos so I came up with an idea using them in my artwork. At first, you don't notice the naked bits when looking at the pieces, but then... " hey is that a boob?" Yep. Why Saints as a subject you ask? Is it because I have a twisted sense of humor or interesting juxtaposition of religion and sin? You tell me.
