I want to be completely honest and say that when I first saw this image, I walked by and thought to myself "it's just another portrait of George Washington," but my eyes instantly snapped back when I realized that it had been constructed of dollar bills! I was then completely intrigued and masked myself how this was out together. After reading the text below the frame I realized it had been sewn together. This later inspired me to maybe experiment with sewing through my drawings for my fashion illustration class. I'm still going through 'trial and errors' but I will eventually find a proper way of getting my ideas across. As for George Washington, I bet you his thinking, "man I feel like money!"
