American artist Chad Wys is known for dipping and defacing found landscapes/portraits {I wrote about him in 2010}, but I just came across his elegant series titled “Arrangement in Skintones”… perfect dots and soft portraits from days gone by. Yep, it’s safe to say that the art history lover and the graphic designer in me are equally smitten ♥

    I wish I thought of this too! Very cool. Would love to know the process.

    “Elegant” really is the right word to describe this great pieces. They have a kind of hypnotic feel too.

    Beautiful and mysterious and yes…..elegant.

    Thank you. Truth be told, I think this is personally my favorite batch. Glad you like it.

    hey chad! glad you saw the post… and yes, i think this might be my favorite batch too (although it’s a pretty tight race!)

    these look like some work that has graced some book covers… do you know if this is the same artist?
