Warholizer is fd’s Latest Flickr Toy

November 30, 2006 By 1 Comment

fd gives us the Warholizer; another fun Flickr Toy to play with.

This new toy was inspired by Andy Warhol’s famous paintings of Marilyn Monroe. Warhol created the paintings using silkscreens to create a kind of “assembly line” art. This toy attempts to simulate the false color and silkscreen effect digitally but really it’s a thing all its own. “Warholizer” is more of a tribute than anything else.

Check out more samples of Warholized photos at Flickr.
