Well where does one end and the other begin? I have no answer to this but at the moment I love the effect I can get from combining the two. This drawing of Lady Gaga was created in the real world and then brought into the digital world by my iPhone. I know I have said this before but the iPhone camera is really powerful - not because of its spec. but rather because of its lack of anything resembling a modern. This adds inaccuracies that to my eye really enhances the drawing.
So once captured by the iPhone the resultant photograph is then enhanced/edited/modified? in photoshop. So out of this process something new is created. Now I know this is nothing new but I feel it is a really makes an interesting drawing or is it painting or photograph? If you start to think about these things then you realise that we are reaching a point, perhaps have long past the point, where it is meaningless to debate where one ends and the other starts. Whatever the answer I like the result.
One final thing. I have made Gaga look at lot more of a dominatrix than she ever is or appears to be. However, if it is unclear what is and what is not a photograph this is nothing when trying to pin down the 'real' Gaga. Again a pointless task.
