Homewood Truss commissioned this work that places the faces of the owners of JTS Builders on the side of Mount Rushmore. The ad was placed in a program book for an industry event. Working from supplied photos, I positioned the new faces on the mountainside and used the cloning tool to make the textures look like the rock of the actual Mount Rushmore. Because I had to create five heads where there were originally four I placed the extra one on the right end and put a George Washington style wig on his head. It was a delicate balance to ensure that the "carvings" kept a close resemblance to the person depicted and yet looked like a monument in stone. The image of Mount Rushmore is from a royalty-free photograph. The other photos were from snapshots with a wide range of light and color values and varying image quality. |
