neat concept, but the two different angles make it look a little off

The body is cute, but the camera looks horrible!

Wow that looks….wonky. The camrea looks poorly done and waaaaaaaaaay too big – almost like the body was an afterthought or something.

body and camera are two completely different styles… its like she got the camera done, then realized everyone had camera tattoos, but nobody had CAMERA-HEADED DOLL TATTOOS! then she had someone else do a cutesy little body underneath it… if this was the initial intension, the execution could have been better. if it was just an afterthought, it’s kind of a cop out.
either way, a decent-at-best outcome.

It’s cute and I like the turquoise a lot, but the body and the camera seem a little mismatched.

Um, guys, it’s a doll with a camera for a head. How is that supposed to go together?? I like the tattoo. I go to an art school, and this reminds me a lot of some of the things you might see if you walk through the student sculpture studios.

I personally think it kicks ass, but I really like Adam’s work…… well, enough so that most of my recent work has been done by him.

For the record, it’s supposed to be two different styles entirely. This is on a photography student. The idea was that it look kind of like a collage, hence the two different angles, and the camera being more realism with a more oldschool tattoo approach to the body. The teal was meant to act as a unifier. Anyway I showed up late to the discussion but there’s my two cents.

The tattoo is very Da Da inspired (aka supposed to seem rather collaged) with a twist on the modern style of the doll. The doll represent a paper doll. I wanted the stark contrast between the camera and doll body. Adam did a great job, and it means a lot to me as photographer and artist.

Yeah, great concept, but the camera looks awful.
