Tonight I’m posting the latest of my Mr Bean manipulations which will be part of my upcoming “Beanathon” on Google+ probably next week. I’ll make a post early next week with the details. This is Bean manipulation number 30.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and be inspired!

Hans Holbein – HolBean The Panty Scandle

Jan 22, 2013

This is another addition to my Mr Bean collection which I will be showing in its entirety in the coming days. I have a couple more that are almost finished. I will post these as I work on some pay jobs over the next couple of days here on Google+ and Facebook. This was a portrait of Thomas Howard by Hans Holbean – 1539. In the original painting he was holding two sticks that looked like pool sticks…?? Anyhow the hand position was good enough to insert a scandalous little touch. I’m going to try and have 30 pieces for the upcoming “Beanathon“. I hope you enjoy them.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and be inspired!

Barack Obama Caricature Study

Jan 16, 2013

This is a caricature study of Barack Obama. It’s been over a year since I’ve done one so it was due. I did many crazy exaggerations of Obama when I was doing Photoshop contests but back then I was more concerned with the image being as absurd as possible and not so much about likeness and more correct exaggerations. This piece is not meant to be funny. It’s simply a portrait study of Obama done for practice. I’ve been real busy lately with some projects that didn’t allow me time to do these kinds of works for practice so I was happy to be back at learning what I love. These projects I’ve been working on weren’t really show pieces either hence the lack of posts lately. I’ve also been spending a lot of time building my social network. Google+ has been real good to me so I’ve put a lot of time and effort into increasing my presence there. With 3.1 million followers after a little over a year, it’s well worth my time there. If you’re not there, come and join me some time at www.google.com/+RodneyPike.

At the request of many of my friends, I will be doing a Beanathon soon as Mr. Bean has been by far my most popular character. I’m going to do a few more pieces so I’ll have around 25 manipulations in the collection.
