Three Muses Challenge - GRUNGE/PRINT BACKGROUND

I have created two pictures this week, both in the grunge/print theme but with subtle differences.  Here I have used cut and pasted newsprint background with film strip by Joanne Brisebois, googled photo of Charlie Chaplin converted into a digital stamp with lots of grungy brushes.
Here I scanned a page from an old dictionary, added some grunge and made an altered image from an old photo and converted a ballerina picture into a silhouette.

  4. These are superb, Marie, fabulous and true interpretations of the theme. The Chaplin one is a masterpiece of composition and I like all the dance references in the second, both in text and images. And I love all the grungy splashes of coffee and black stains.

  10. Great grunge art, Marie. Charlie never looked so good, though your ballet dancer looks a little sorry because you gave her the wrong shoes! Wicked!
