i’m jealous of alex gross
Whether you’re into superheroes, Star Trek, or weird little devil boys who enjoy iced coffee {perhaps a statement on the establishment where the devil boy purchased his iced coffee?}, LA based artist Alex Gross has something for you! In this very large series of mixed media work, he paints over found vintage portraits, and adds just a dash {alright, a huge dollop} of pop culture. Love.
Can’t resist throwing in a plug for his book: http://amzn.to/IgdXCv
which i worked on years ago.

ha! and well you should… it’s a beautiful book! ; )
What would you call when love and jealousy got equally mixed up?…mmm
my brain.

So amusing – I love the fun of the superhero juxtaposed with those old faces and eyes. The original portrait photos are often so pompous and this is a great way to express what they’re “really” thinking.
