I have been working on a series of Lego mini figure and candy photographic art prints for a while now.  As new figures are released by Lego or as new ideas come to me for existing figures I add them to my running “idea  list.”  then when time permits or creativity inspires I add a new photo to the collection.  I’ve posted on some of the vignettes I have done so far in the past.  Lego Vignettes Part I, Lego Vignettes Part Two and Lego Vignettes Part Three.

The most recent addition to the collection involves one of the earlier Lego mini figures, the clown and some balloons made out of gumballs.

This print and most of the others from the past posts are available for sale on my Etsy store.

Photograph of a bowl of vegetable alphabet soup in a white bowl

Soup de Jour

This photo was an assignment for a commercial photography class.  The objective was to duplicate an ad in a magazine.  To do that I purchased the bowl and plate at Goodwill, a can of vegetable soup, a can of alphabet soup and a bag of frozen vegetable.  Then I complied the elements to make my bowl of soup match the ad as closely as possible even placing the noodle letters in the right order.
