Face Off
We recreate five iconic genres, from Surrealism to Abstract, with the deft strokes of an illustration artist using unique daubs of makeup.
Abstract
“I think we’re much smarter than we were. Everybody knows that abstract art can be art, and most people know that they may not like it, even if they understand there’s another purpose to it.” —Roy Lichtenstein, pop artist

Doodle
“We are visual creatures. When you doodle an image that captures the essence of an idea, you not only remember it, but you also help other people understand and act on it–which is generally the point of meetings in the first place.” —Tom Wujec, author
Dots
“Polka dots are fabulous.” —Yayoi Kusama, Japanese artist.
Mixed Media
“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” —Aristotle, philosopher.
Surrealism
“People love mystery, and that is why they love my paintings.” —Salvador Dalí, artist
Illustrations by Eric Canes.
