Precious masquerade!
I've been working on the photo of this painting by Anton Raphael Mengs for a really long time. I could never decide whether to cover her with the wonderful fabric of the dress or with the tons of jewels she is wearing. I just knew that I wanted to keep her eyes visible
I actually did two works in parallel and recently I finally decided that there are just 2 versions. Here is the jewelry version of "Hidden Mengs", Photocollage 2020
The “Hidden Portraits” photo collages.
For the viewer, the focus in my modified pictures shifts away from being the expression of an individual and towards the integration of painting in a social context. The “Hidden Portraits” examine the context of art as a means of representation and the relationship between image and reproduction.
Of I may ask, could you explain the process of transforming a digital asset into an officially minted NFT and then where one could list the NFT and set a price to be asked for it.
Many thanks in advance 🙏🏻
I don't know anything about NFTs... sorry... I'm kinda old school.
So stoked to finally have an original by the legendary @bob.hoke hanging on my wall. Look him up on eBay and get your own piece o'oddball wondrousness.

There may be a severe diminish in my posting on Tumblr due to circumstances beyond my control. This has nothing to to do with Tumblr policies or recent changes done to Tumblr, as I simply am not phased by these arbitrary things.
I am entering a new form of survival mode that pushes my time on Tumblr to the far back burner.
I posted a link to images I had on a Flickr album (which I hope folks can access from here) on my Tumblr cakeday, but here is one for an album on Imgur which has some of the same tidbits, a few risque ones, and some of the more animated ones.

Also, here is a small (but ever-growing) sampling of items (for whatever obvious reason) Tumblr felt were too inappropriate for their once-tolerant domain of broad-minded expression.

P.S.-feel free to grab any items and repost them elsewhere-yes, yes, let my precious viruses thrive in the open and communicable atmosphere of the internet...Fly, my pretties! FLY!!---.just remember to give credit to the more obviously steamy ones.

If anyone believes in a higher power, then-please-pray for me to endure, and remember to get steamed and stay steamed.
