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!!

Wow cool, i really like the dwarf artwork… Almost looks like Disney’s dwarfs =)
Wow.. What an amazing piece of artwork . I loved it..! I love paintings and it’s a hobby for me.. What kind of painting is it? I guess.. Oil and water mixed..!:):)
WaWww! That is such a cool art work, I haven’t encountered such a good artwork lately!
Whew! nice out work. By the way. are you the one who took the picture of the man lying in the grass?
Great job.
It is really a masterpiece! Its like on the cartoons, nice photographer and took the photo in the exact moment.
Gotta admit, her take on such a potentially sad picture is both absurd and wonderful.
I haven’t seen such a nice artwork, and a good photographer too… Wonderful
