Waldo Lee 1/18/15

Waldo Lee is a 2D/Photographer based out of Paris, France. Businesses that use his art work are some of the following: Audi, Toyota, Yoplait and Jeep. My roommate went to a museum and saw a couple of his digital manipulations and she thought I would like them. The Instagram account HiFructoseMagazine posts a lot of his work. These are a few of my favorites.

The first of these works is a Jeep ad. It is realistic and naturalistic to me. How it relates to Jeep doesn't make sense to me, but I find the 2D manipulation really cute. I like how to beaver is carving out miniature beavers with wood, pretty ironic. The second work named BeHanced (2014) is a very intriguing piece to me. It is a photo manipulation, and fascinates me. I've seen a couple of actual pieces of art like this, that are made out of some sort of material that moves with you're hand when you touch them. I don't know what they are called, but this reminds me of that. However, this is a photograph that he then cut up in some fancy photoshop thing I'm guessing, that made it look like that. The last is a piece of a playstation ad(2013), once again how it has anything to do with playstation confuses me, but I like it. I like the springs on the eyes and how big and pronounced the body parts are. A lot of his work is confusing, but in a way it is fascinating and I spent a lot of time trying to understand some other works of his.
