i’m jealous of louis boudreault
Oh my word. These mixed-media portraits by Montreal based artist Louis Boudreault grabbed me immediately! They are part of a series titled “Destiny”, as these are the childhood portraits of such greats as Picasso, Warhol, van Gogh, Elvis etc! So, so good. The sweet vintage {and famous!} faces in graphite, the bows, the stripes… and then, you realize this:
The scale! Oh, the scale!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ {yes, three little hearts worth of love!}
And with that, I hope you enjoy the end of 2012 ~ I’ll see you in 2013! xo
Oh wow, I love these, as well. I love the little details, the mix of colors, and they way they play with the grungy feel of all the paint. Look great!

Gasp! Love the mix of traditional composition with modern, eye-popping colour and design treatment.
Wonderful work! Very inspiring!
I love these even more after seeing the scale of them! How wonderful these portraits are.
so dope.
very.
these are so weirdly wonderful!
Boudreault’s “Destiny” is amazing – eclectic innocence. Thank you for sharing these. I just re-read another wonderful art experience in Carlton Davis’s book, The Art Dockuments, which takes you through the 1980s drive-by gallery in L.A. called Art Dock. The author provides entertaining and enlightening stories of an avant-garde artist community. Love it!

thank you robyn!
I am jealous of the scale! My goal in life is to create art larger than myself. : )
that’s a great goal! i might steal that!
Oh wow, i was fully expecting these to be about 11×14″ or so… you were right about scale. So wonderfully vintage.. and crusty! Yay!
