Appropration. 'Where Are All The Real Man Gone?'.

One of projects I'm working on from printmaking. It was supposed to be a triptyc with a title 'Where Are All The Real Man Gone?' I had it in my mind for ages and now came the opportunity to take it out on paper. The inspiration came from personal experience and film industry of 50s - 70s Hollywood, the classic archetypes of what male and female were back in the day. Photos of Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart acted as my image sources to create the designs and final prints.
The series divide threefold. First is a sunset, second - full moon night and third a sunrise ( the last one still in production). 

Here are some experimental images plus the first print.
