Welcome to what three months on one airbrushed painting looks like. I am almost finished, now it can be yours.
Welcome to my Kickstarter page. This is a crowd funding medium to help projects get off the ground. I am asking you to pledge anywhere from $1 and up to help me get this artwork into poster. If I don't meet my goal...your card is not charged.....but also you don't get your goodies... So Please share this with someone you love. Check out my rewards to help inspire you to pledge. I am offering this art on poster Full Size, or canvas prints, the original drawings, also the OG paintings are in the rewards should you so desire.
The concept of this painting is to create an image you see from far away that is made up of something entirely different when you examine it closer. "Two Faces" is just that from far away, however these faces are made up of 100's of people, places and things all compiled into the giant monoliths which guard all it's inhabitants. If you look close you can see some items are in white...these are the final characters I am still working on and will be complete in time for the poster run.
Enjoy endless epic details in this painting titled "TWO FACES" by Chris Elliman. Incredible perspective and depth insures your mind will be blown for years of discovery and conversation discussing," What does it all mean?" Many items are very obvious and others are not. After working with subliminal imagery for years.... I grew frustrated working hard to hide items in my paintings..... only to have to point them out to people directly in the final piece.....hence my more obvious approach to subtlety!
Creating paintings of this magnitude is very challenging both mentally and fiscally. To be able to pay bills for three months while I hammer down on these canvas' with complete focus has created some interesting highs and lows in my financial history. I am so into these pieces I forget to eat, sleep and have a life! Yikes.... but that's how passionate I am about this kind of rendering. There is no chance for a 9-5 moment when I have one of these on the easel. It's full throttle coffee sipping and depth enhancing debauchery. I have found the way to really get my point across is to make less quantity and more quality. Yes I could paint a painting a day... or five for that matter... but none would sock you in the eye like this. Time and time again I have proven this is how you make an impression..... now its your turn...... bring "Two Faces" home to your wall.
I absolutely need your help to be able to afford the large minimum orders required for long run printing on drum printers. The very costly start up fees are tough to summons from my humble pockets, but the price of each singular piece goes way down. These are not one off prints from a digital printer and not photographed by a buddy with a nice camera. The painting has been photographed by a professional art photographer on a Hasselblad H1! The images are over a half a gig each side! The detail and clarity is unreal and well worth the expense to make sure these posters are stunning!
Thank you soo much for your support and please share this kickstarter so we can get this baby in POSTER form.

"Adam" Incredibly left brained ( for an artist) however he is on the right. A gemini all the way! Inquisitive, and engaging and nothing has changed. I believe he still is an an innocent in this story however, the confidence from his smile alone can melt any sun into the horizon of serenity. He keeps himself busy sharing this dichotomy with his amazing friends. Enjoy the consuming perspective and hyper detail to no end with everything that makes him part of this story in poster form.
