NYC Walker, original altered painting by Heather Castles
This painting was made using a locally sourced discarded print-on-board... I painted in an element from pop culture to give it a bit of fun! I like to work in the original artist's style so it looks like it was always there.
Upcycled Vintage Art is all about giving unloved paintings and prints a second life by subtly painting in unexpected elements to give them a bit of fun modern relevance.I locally source art that is either mass produced or damaged. Many of these pieces would end up in landfill because they are too expensive or damaged to repair
