Hey guys,
I’m a Fine Art major at Elmhurst College in Illinois and I wanted to share with you my final Capstone project.
Last fall, my friends Brett, Joe and I transformed Brett’s Ford station wagon into the Ectomobile and we drove around the hot spots of downtown Chicago over Halloween weekend. Here’s how the car turned out:
The painting below is an 8X5 foot recreation of the “Fettuccine” painting from “GB2” modeled after myself and my friends (I used actor JB Smoove, AKA “Leon” from “Curb Your Enthusiasm”, in place of Winston, since that’s one of our favorite shows). Rather than simply recreating the original painting from the film, I used some artistic license, changing the backdrop to the Chicago skyline, dressing baby Oscar as Mr. Stay Puft and replacing the objects in each our hands with someone unique to each of us.
Oh, and I attempted to dress like Janosz at the exhibition opening, haha.
Feedback is welcome!
