QuickResponse, the final painting

This is a final project from my first semester in university.

My task was to take a photo of myself and mix it with another pattern I found as if it were "camouflage."

I took an old photo of myself, from 2009, for the basis.

After about 30 minutes of fiddling around, I had a final product that I enjoyed.

Process

Square crop -> Posterize -> B&W with level adjustment -> Output white level raised -> QR code mask

With the piece now accepted, I had it printed out at full size and began to draw a grid onto the canvas.
