Lucas got me hooked on soviet anti-drinking propaganda poster art. This is one of the posters rendered using a photo mosaic background of the complete set of propaganda posters i accumulated this afternoon. There's some additional vectorizer outline work going on for the abstracted rendition of the main propaganda photo. I did not colorize the photo mosaic background like i normally would do, since the large image is primarily black and white and i wanted to get the full color effect from the adaptive grid mosaic of the complete poster set.

Nice! I like what you did with the baby/bottle one, that was next on my list to work with. Did you find the original of the "HET!"? It's an ad for a vodka brand.
Or is there another real ad for Het vodka you are talking about?
Of course the first thing i did was a photo mosaic of a bottle of vodka made out of the anti-drinking propaganda posters (i'm very predictable). That posts on my daily art blog tomorrow. i also did one using the budweiser girls as the main source image for the photo mosaic.

I actually started using the folder of propaganda images for working with gallery show. Using the randomized vectorizer technique with auto-masking turned on, so things build up over time with the gallery show cycles that combine features from different random source images. Getting some interesting results with that approach, very different than the photo mosaic stuff. I also want to try some stack filtering at some point with this source material.
i also did one using the budweiser girls as the main source image for the photo mosaic. Ha!
That is the poster. The "H" in Russian is pronounced like our "N". It is an ad for Ikon Vodka and reads "No, I only drink Ikon Vodka." Perhaps the ad is a later remix of the original. Not entirely sure.
I dumped the images into a MOV file and have been playing with the temporal ipOps. Great stuff there. The overlying of such graphic imagery seems to work really well.
This kind of stuff is made for stack filtering via temporal image processing. Picking a set of images that are related in some way is always the key to a successful stack filtering project, and the nature of the imagery solves that problem for you by it's very nature.

I thought the Het poster was more propaganda against drinking, not an actual ad promoting a particular kind of vodka. That puts a whole extra layer of irony to it's use in the movie brush.

Do you mean this one?

Great image John!
Let;s go out and have a drink to celebrate.
