hollis brown thornton

i have always wanted to learn all the processes of image transfer. there is a class at cca on image transfer techniques but i never jump on it in time and the class fills up. i love these works using image transfers by south carolina artist hollis brown thornton. i also really love the color pallet when you look at all of his works together. i think that the hazy, vintage, polaroid-like feel is part of the image transfer technique...but since i have never learned quite how to do it i am not sure! it might also be that he used aged photogrpahs. either way, i love them! he has a lot of work posted on his website and on flickr so check it out.





these last three images were done with permanent marker! this is probably the best use of sharpies i have seen in a long time.
