Jake - I think it's fantastic that you're creating stuff and getting your work out there. Moreover, I enjoy your contributions to the forum and you're always very generous with your releases.

Though, I'm not sure I really understand this piece or where you're going with it. Aside from being a "homage" to Warhol, what is the concept here? Didn't Warhol do some Diana portraits himself. You say you've been wanting to do this piece for a while and so I'm intrigued to hear some more.

I'm guessing you chose today to announce the print, given that it would have been Di's birthday.

Thanks for the post. Your question is a good one, and I dont have an answer that makes alot of sense. I did this piece for my respect of Warhol, respect of Banksy and the respect of Princess Diana. As froz said, Princess Diana is the iconic image to me, as Monroe was to Marilynn (kind of anyway). Warhol motivated me to appreciate art. Banksy motivated me to create art. Diana motivated me for her beauty, class and charitable contributions she was able to do.

As I said, this style is not my style. My work is much more conceptual in nature. I did this piece because of what I mentioned above. It is something I felt compelled to do.

As for the hair comment by froz, I first tried using Marilynn hair, like Banksy did on Moss, but I didnt like it.

Heres where I get emotional

Art is shit. It is as simple as that. Art that is hanging on walls is shit.s**t in the sense that it is an aftermath of the artists journey. True art is an experience. It is an expression. Granite, some art is good, some is bad, and some truely is shit (the kind that stinks). Art is personal, at least for me. The hardest part of art is exposing yourself to peoples opinion. Its not like the good old days of giving your mom a rock you painted with mud, only to be rewarded with hugs and kisses. Putting art out there exposes yourself. Ive had great responses on this forum, and terrible ones. I must admit thought, Ive been on this forum since 2006, and through the good and the bad, there's no place Id rather be. Even though Ive not met many of you face to face, I feel like I know you.

Enough babble. Hope this make at least a little sense.

Thanks

niiiiiiiiiicccccceeeeeeee ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D....can't wait hihi

glad you didn't choose the marylin style!

Princess "die" was more of a modern day Jackie K. than Monroe. PE did nail it with his take on the death and disaster series.

Let's not forget that the Warhol already produced an image of the peoples princess



aka Wayne Gretzky, the greatest ice hockey player to grace this earth.

And here she is...a 4 set mind you and what an incredible beauty they are...really the colors POP off the page. The pdf images do not do this print justice.

24x24 with a 1" border around it so the image is actually 22x22 which helps with framing in my opinion since it already gives that nice little border I do not think you will need to get a matte, but you can if you'd like.

thanks for the great prints crazy Jake! The girlfriend loves them...now to get these framed...

Thruthfully...images don't do this print justice...I tried to get these to look as bright as they are in my apartment...but i still do not think they are.

My print arrived today and I must say the colours are awesome!

Thank you very much CJ

I can't find a website for Crazy Jake.
