pop art inspired by Roy Lichtenstein

something i did this june. inspired by the great Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. i use line art drawing as a base, after which colors and 'shadows' were added. i did not add any 'highlights', as i was hoping for a more authentic comic print look with a little more vibrancy in the colors. for a la-comic book look, halftone effect, dark color border and small text box was added to the final artwork. for the purpose of this posting, i have created an additional white border to make the artwork appears to be on a piece of paper. the artwork was purposely offset (i.e. not centralized) on the 'paper' to simulate the misalignment with the print or cut, which would likely to happen in older times of print process.

you can learn more about Roy Lichtenstein @ Wikipedia or artchive.
