I recently decided to do some pop art in the Ingram family/game room. This is a fun trend to watch.
I thought it was a great way to bring in color and introduce art in a way that would be more meaningful to the family.
This style of art was made popular by Andy Warhol in the 1960s. This painting of Elizabeth Taylor just sold for $10 million dollars just a few days ago:
Andy Warhol’s paintings have gone for as much as $100 million (Eight Elvises).
It is really easy. We used a different service for the ones we used in the game room, but they didn’t do very much popart so it became a little difficult to work with. So I found this website:
So they just do popart. Here are some examples from their site.
Or you could try making it yourself. I did these on www.picnik.com
I just uploaded a photo and posterized… and played with the colors a little bit.
It’s a free website. You probably could get an even better look with photoshop (but I don’t have it).
Then you would want to have it printed on a canvas.
Here are a couple of other examples of popart that would be great in a room.
