"Trade Joes" is a physical mixed-media piece. It's dimensions IRL are 55in x 31in. I combined a digital photo from my ongoing "Strangers" series, found the frame at an estate sale, printed the image out on printer paper, wheat pasted it, and then drew on the image with oil pastels. I then photographed it professionally in my home studio for it to live digitally in your wallet! --------------- About 4 months ago I started walking up to strangers on the street and asking the simple question, "Excuse me, can I take your portrait?" Since then I have interviewed and published 100's of stories of complete strangers. Somewhere along the way I wanted to see these photos come to life, so I printed them out on my home printer, made wheat paste, and glued them to recyled canvas and began drawing. This resulted in my first-ever body of work I'm entitling "Mixed Media". It's over 100 days of stories, 13 years of photography, and hundreds of drawings later that I have compiled some of my favorite pieces of people I met on the streets with no prior relationship. This is "Mixed Media"!
