Handmade Portraits: Junkprints

[AbstractAttraction]

I do not believe that those negative comments are justifiable at all. This is something new and amazing and creative. I am a poet rather than an artist, but the way I see her form of art is comparable to a found poem. She is taking pieces of things and arranging them in a way that means something more, something personal. Its like recycling ideas and giving them new life and I think it is wonderful. I loved this video so much. It inspired me so much.

spoken like a true artist. exploring the concept of 'what if'

[weedygarden]

Chanel, you had a dream as a young adolescent, stayed focused, and kept putting one foot in front of the other to achieve your remarkable success. You can be so proud of yourself.

[GrayBird28]

What a great positive message! Thank you!

[meow98]

surreal art, how cool!

[Magdwaostboll]

somehow she made me smile the whole time i was watching, and I still am :D

[sophielovespb]

She is absolutely adorable! And entirely inspiring.

Obviously they are worth money to someone, as she sells stuff on etsy.

Everyone has a different opinion of what is unique and valuable and putting someone else's work down calling it worthless is not helpful at all. You have a right to your own opinion but the people on etsy work a long time and put a lot of effort into this stuff, it's very hurtful when you say stuff like that. The great thing about art is that not everyone has to understand it, but the people who do find it very meaningful.

shes an amazing woman

[jovuska]

she's awesome and a true creative artist, plus really inspirational, imho :) you go girl!

[aileenlearah]

I like her and she IS an artist. If you say she is not then you are obviously NOT an artist yourself...

[electriclime17]

Yep. Just got to 6:08.  She's kick ace!

[electriclime17]

I think we would get along really well.  She seems awesome!

"Beautiful tan today, cancer tomorrow." - LOL.

Interesting stuff!

[staticchroma101]

I agree with liquid177 and AlmightyBunholio9. Theres nothing wront with speaking your mind about this. I think she is not a real artist. And her iron-ons are not in quality worth enough to pay. And yes Almighty.. this is nothing new AT ALL.

[neddie58]

I linke junkprints

[Minkelu]

I love your work, Chanel. You are a wonderful artist.

[thebluepenny]

the ideas are THE art, and she is full of ideas. full of life too for that matter. lovely stuff.

[liquid177]

over rated.. and the name junkprints fits perfect.. cause they are junk.Those heat press images dont last very long and either they start cracking or fade out or both,thats why junk prints fits well, its not like a real screen print. As an artist?.. well does she draw at all?.. nope! ,she is just mixing , overlaping and layering images on photshop etc etc, pretty boring and ovedone.But she is creative.. but unoriginal. I mean this in the best way..not to sound like a hater.. just being honest.

[AlmightyBungholio9]

yes you are being honest and i totally agree with you,

plus the images dont last and dont mean much.... nothing new.... nothing worth time or money, thats just the truth.

[clipside2]

she is happy and she is creating ... shouldn't be a problem

[toothpasteninja]

and what exactly is your background in art?

[cbabick]

You are very talented!! Brooklyn is great--Windsor Terrace, Park Slope, Coney Island, Bensonhurst, Bay Ridge...I lived all over Brooklyn!
