The Smudge Enhancement Project

[smudgeproject]

I've started this project, where I post one smudge painting I've done everyday. I smudge photos into something new. I do this on www.smudgeproject.com (http://www.smudgeproject.com). Every visit is motivation.

Cool concept. Any chance to see the originals?

Well I decided when I started this project, that I wasn't going to post the original photos, since my smudged versions are so unsimilar to the photos, and I really see the photos as my palette of colors rather than what the painting will become. Thanks for your comments.

looks like a close-up of one small part of a Salvador Dali.

Huh? Which one?

[Unleashed]

He was joking. It's not good.

The idea behind this is kind of cool, but since the finished product seems to be entirely abstract, I think it's kind of stupid. No offense. It would be cool if you smudged it into something recognizable, but anyone can do what you're doing.
