Why I love the internet and some cool art too

I had to show this, recently an artist contacted me and asked if she could use a photo of mine as the inspiration for a piece of artwork. I was glad to help, and totally jazzed when I saw the result of her amazing work.

The photo in question was taken near the troll bridge in Seattle. I saw this homeless man sleeping in the grass and snuck a quick shot of it.

The resulting artwork dwarfs both the artistic quality and the feeling of the image, it’s just fantastic work.

I don’t even know the artist’s name, but you can follow her on flickr @ http://www.flickr.com/people/jgrabowski/

Enjoy!!

Gotta admit, her take on such a potentially sad picture is both absurd and wonderful.
