In the past for Halloween, I’ve often dressed up as internet memes (Rick Astley, anyone?) or topical things from the news (like Matt/Mitt Romney). This year I was running dry on ideas until a few days before Halloween. Then I started to think about famous artwork–more on that in a future Halloween post.
One idea that I prototyped was Rene Magritte’s Son of Man painting. It’s easy, fast, and cheap:
All it takes is a novelty bowler (~$8) and a plastic apple (~$1.50, although you might have to buy a pack of six). Assuming you already have a suit and can borrow a red tie, you’re good to go for only $15 or so.
This year I got into Halloween, so I may post a few more Halloween ideas that I played with in the coming days.
That is really cool!
🙂
But question comes,it that too heavy to put it on nose?
On my nose? A real apple would be too heavy and pull the bowler hat off, but a plastic apple is perfect–nice and light!
Now thats a scary artwork. Though the real wouldn’t be that scary 😛
That`s great and funny, but does it make you cross-eyed, Matt?
Yup, I did get a little cross-eyed for a while. 🙂
It makes me cross-eyed just to look at the photo. Lol. I love it, however!
Anyway, it also look like an “dorky Apple guy”! *haha*
Must make mingling at parties a challenge. When you take the hat of to talk to someone slap on a US flag pin. Son of man/Romney – what a combination. Probably some sort of clever arty joke in there somewhere but I’m not arty or clever so over to you.
Good attempt this time, far better than previous (Mitt Romeny)
I can not stop my smile. by the way this gave me happiness so love you. Great Job 🙂

Though the real wouldn’t be that scary
