Nice, GMMcL. Has there been a monochrome challenge recently? If not, let's do one soon.

The initial reception this challenge got had me a little blue.
So close to a .gif... :D I'm curious if you guys are basing your look on a predetermined piece of art or vice versa.

Id start with the art, life imitating art is the way to go here. If the the idea is to be inspired by the art, then putting together a fit and subsequently google imaging until you find some matching art is circumventing the challenge. I would go so far as to say that anyone who does that should have their fit disqualified. Because it is weak sauce, and it also not what the challenge is about.

I found a piece I really like, that will inspire what I wear tomorrow. It's not really the kind of palette that fits my complexion best, but I'll go with it anyway for the sake of the FC.

I was intending to go with Piet Mondrian, but it turns out I gave away my yellow pocket square. Back to the drawing board.

For ***** and giggles.

This Rothko seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to do.

Ceci n'est pas une reponse.

Or how about Malevich's black square?

BTW, it would be a real feat if someone could come up with an interpretation of a piece of music or literature...
