Framed

Halloween Idea #16

So Halloween is approaching (thank God!). While this will not likely be the post to win me any "prettiest design" awards, I think the concept is really great for a costume and --best of all-- I can't find that it's been done before. 

So the idea is to become a Warhol celebrity portrait for a Halloween costume. These portraits are iconic, and the first step would simply be to go a little nuts with your makeup and hair color. See some edgy fashion pics below for inspiration:

After makeup application, the next step is the frame. Just take an old frame from the thrift store and cut out whatever bad art it came with. Insert a technicolor or mildly neon posterboard in its place with a hole cut out for your head. 

Above is a mass produced "Mona Lisa" costume but you get the idea. 

Take a copy of Warhol's signature and print, cut, and paste to the lower corner and voila!

Pros:

-Art related

-Easy and unique

-A bunch of people can do it as a group costume 

Cons: 

-You're a frame head for the evening, so no cozying up to the bar if that's the kind of Halloween you're having

Only a few weeks to go!!!
