With A. Warhol's quote in mind, I wondered if it would be possible to create a facsimile of one of his 'pop-art' prints in fifteen minutes. Using 3 programs and a photo already on my computer I did manage to get something reasonable but not satisfactory. Another 15 minutes or so and I managed to get this digital image ready for printing.
Not too long ago it would have taken at least several hours, if not days, and knowledge of darkroom technique and silk-screen printing to reproduce this image. Of course, art is not just the reproduction of someone else's concept. Now, if we are so inclined, we can take our 'idea' from drawing board to finished product in nearly no time. It's fun to pretend to be an artist,and with all the tools available, we all can.
