Roy Lichtenstein :
Modern Art II, 1996

Screenprint in colors on Lanaquarelle watercolor paper.
48.375 × 38.312 in

Copies splintered forms seen in Picasso's works.
Combines high-modernist abstraction with signature comic-book style lines, flat colors, and geometric patterns.

Production of old timey comics: Converting faded paper to white while retaining the color textures and screens is tough. Methods of achieving this in the comments:

Wanted to make the little men stand out using a zipatone effect. The Procreate halftone didn’t have the right look. I pulled a BenDay stipple file I made years back. So far, it’s as close to zipatone as I‘ve gotten.

Work will continue on the process.

Just adding some details I liked, specifically for the Ben Day dot/grainy coloring to evoke that particular kind of print image, which I have never done before. My favorites are the little spots where the color bleeds a bit into the adjacent shape.
Closeup of corner of stomach and thigh, focusing on coloring using both grainy and dot brushes, with overlapping colors making up the background and a little bit of bleedover in dot color along the edge of the thigh/stomach into the background. #oc #characterart #bendaydots #queerart #digitalart #krita Closeup of ear, elbow, and side of head, focusing on coloring using both grainy and dot brushes, with overlapping colors making up the background and a little bit of bleedover in dot color along the edge of the hair into the background. #oc #characterart #bendaydots #queerart #digitalart #krita Closeup of part of the face, focusing on coloring using both grainy and dot brushes. In this case, I just really liked the dot highlighting along the nose and cheek, as well as the layers of colors in the teeth specifically. Also this might be the first time I've ever drawn eyelashes in my memory, so I'm kinda proud of 'em. #oc #characterart #bendaydots #queerart #digitalart #krita #transcharacter

There are #comicbookdots, then there are #BenDaydots. They are not the same. BenDay came the late 19th c. Comicbook dots are from the early 20th c. BenDay was more versatile but required special skills where comicbook dots just required dexterity with knives and scissors. This 1 from my postcards.

"Break" collage made entirely from LIFE magazine images (I think).
This is mounted on a masonite tray that has a cork back.
I love the way color looks from this era - the newsprint and ben-day dots.
Such saturation!

#collage #art #LIFEmagazine #Newsprint #bendaydots #cigarettes
collage made with LIFE magazine images from the 1950s. top part of image shows a relaxing forest scene with river and pine trees. Below that is a B&W image of a cleaning woman who appears to be behind bars. Over that image are cut out images of 3 adult women from the torso up they are "emerging" from round icons featuring smoking related imagery. The bottom half of the image features an image of men in a classroom, hunched at their desks intent on an exam. They are seen from above. The whole image has a pale yellow boarder.

After creating #cymk dots in photoshop, I moved onto attempted the same with actual #BenDaydots. It was now quite a simple. There's no set of colors to work with. Every image could be any number of random colors and patterns.
Here's a closeup on one of my test pieces. Not as simple as comicbook dots

Lichtenstein was born in 1923 and spent years painting abstracts and teaching. Then his sons' playful dare pushed him to paint 'Look Mickey'—and trade brushstrokes for Ben-Day dots. #ModernArt #BenDayDots #LookMickey
