SIGGRAPH Poster - Digital-Trad

My SIGGRAPH Converstion Poster submission. One of the first assignments I had this year for Advanced Photoshop. The theme this year was "Unification", so i decided to use reproduce Picasso's Guitarist digitally as a way of showing traditional and digital art working as one, and to re-enforce the idea, I originally was going to make the final image in a puzzle. But the idea fell through in the designing process.

Then during the critique, the class suggested the idea of replacing the guitar with something else. A keyboard immediately came to mind. When I was done I had a bit of a dead area left so I added a Wacom as well.
