The self portraits I had produced seen in my post 'Face Off'' here, is where i have drawn a visual relation to these images. in realtion to my concept, the contrast of having such idolised figures in popular culture being portrayed as 'mugs' is amusing, yet is asks powerful questions of the viewer and society as a whole, are these star figures which we idolise so much, any more or less human then we are and were is it that there power lies, is it the ability to make people see beyond thier everyday lives, I think so.
