Both.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Homage to Warhol as well.

It does have kind of a "recaster" element to it. Hmm... recast from 3D to 2D.

Well...YEAH.
They Basically took a picture of a Rick Ross PKD and hit the "Paint" Button on their photo-shop program.
If you ask me it's Photocasting! Very Happy
I wonder if Rick get's a cut?

1-Swipe someone else's photo
2-Photoshop filter and Giclee' print on canvas
3-Ebay
4-Profit!

I like how most of his other "prints" contain the "Pop" addendum. He is using the Warhol defense.

It reminds me of Art History Class with Dr. Varney who had a Brooklyn accent...
"Everything is Ahhhht!"(art)

(I guess the fact that someone's reaching into your pocket and releiving you of your money, make's it performance art.)

Photocasting. I like it.

And if this is the seller I think it is, they do a lot of photoshopping from blade runner onto canvas. I don't think they give rats patooty who owns what.

Man, atlest they could have done somehting interesting with it, right? It just looks aweful.

As the running joke in the digital art world goes: Using the Lens Flare filter guarantees A+ results. Shocked
