Destroy The Icon: Last Batch of Iterations

 Some more iterations using my Marilyn Monroe image.  Tried to make sure the original image was destroyed, but still there.

    I think you’ve destroyed this perfectly!! You can still tell what is going on without worrying about copyright, plus, you’ve got a fun variety of iterations!!

    Sylvia, these turned out so well! It was really fun getting to see all of your different iterations and how you got there. Your process is very informative of your style.

Now I have to incorporate digital work into this piece, I have a couple ideas on how to do that.  I may take some photos of the piece on a plain background so that I can manipulate it in Adobe, try to make it look more ethereal and less clunky, play with blending layers and such.  My other idea was to upload a photo of the statue but keep most of it photo-realistic, and edit in little fragments of a face into the mirror shards.
