Mashing up Celebrity Pictures with classic works of art - what brilliant idea! How do even even with something like that? The answer is - out of boredom, really. The French graphic artist and the retoucher, Bénédicte Lacroix, was stuck at home for 6 weeks because she broke the foot. With a lot of time to kill and nothing better to do, she decided to take the picture of her boyfriend and photoshop in an old painting, just for fun. The result was pretty cool and she decided to do the same thing with other photos of his friends.
I would like to have talented friends like that, so they could look for a classic art work. It's amazing how different people choose to spend their free time and creating and generating results. I usually look NETFLIX and cool.
But back to the awesome woman who is Bénédicte Lacroix. Pretty soon she missed friends in Photoshop and was left to ask me what to do next. That's when she decided to go to celebrities. This idea turned out to be a gold mine of success. His project "travel over time" has become very popular and its works are now exposed to all kinds of exhibitions everywhere in France. She also directs a tumblr account where she presents her works, so if you want to see more, give a glance.
Bénédicte attracts the inspirations of all kinds of things - good and bad, in the news and the media. She crushed Daft Punk in a classic work of art after winning a grammous. More recently, she has incorporated "I am Charlie" in one of his works, to show his support after the terrorist attacks in France.
If you are wondering exactly how does this artist create his mash ups, the answer is quite simple - Photoshop. Bénédicte says that it does not use anything else for this project, just photoshop. She likes to challenge you and spend a lot of time working on each new photo, making sure that all colors and brushes are well and that everything mixes well.
When questioned about the message behind his work, Bénédicte says she does not really have one. It does not really have a specific purpose and has not expected that this project will also become as popular as that. It's just a bit become. She does this because she likes it as simple as that. However, the idea that people could discover the original classic paintings through his work too.
For his Bénédicte mashups uses all kinds of celebrities. Actors of the TV show, movie stars, singers and music icons. For example, here is a mashed nut that she did with Miley Cyrus. I think she captured her enough. The result is hilarious. You wonder how Miley would have finished if she was born at a different hour.
Here is a photo of Barney of "how I met your mother". Do not you think he looks awesome here? Barney seems good whatever. Like the show, it looks awesome, no matter the time or adjustment.
Sheldon of the "The Big Bang Theory" looks as crazing. It's funny to see these celebrities if their comfort zone, in environments and clothes that we could never imagine.
I urge you to Google more works by Benedicte, you will have a lot of fun. See if she still crushed your favorite celebrities. You can always discover what Benedicte does by following it onTwitterShe has a lot of links with her website and keep you informed of what she is working now.
