In response to Natalie's recent Choice Board with the melted crayons, I wanted to introduce you to an artist named Jeff Schaller-he is an encaustic artist (uses layers imagery and melted wax!). He is actually local, I had him come to do a workshop with my Junior Portfolio 2D Design students a few years back-a lot of fun!
His mixed media wax paintings have a sort of "Pop Art" feel (echoing Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Wayne Thiebaud and others from that movement) where he is collaging different elements and recombining them into new compositions. His work is a good example pf how you can "appropriate" or take images form published or online sources but re-contextualize them and alter them to make something entirely your own (and not risk infringing on copyright protections/plagiarize).
