    Default Pop Art Einstein

    I am writing a journal article on the history of physics and need a modern-looking pop art portrait of Albert Einstein that would look good in color or B&W (in case the journal only allows B&W for my article). I would prefer it based on a photo, Andy Warhol style, so not a caricature of free hand portrait. The first images is what I wanted to use but the artist will not respond. The second is what a might have to resort to: a quick Xara photo manipulation I did myself in 15 minutes but will touch up. The winner may be selected to be part of my article with full credits but no money (academic).

    Like the first one a lot. Not so keen on the second.

    I know the first one is much better. The first one is on DeviantArt but the artist hasn't responsed to my inquiries. I would like to use his work (the first one) but cannot unless I get permissions. That is why I am asking anyone here if they want to try a pop art portrait of Einstein with a chance that might get published in a leading radiology journal in an article I have been asked to write by their editor.

    This does not seem to be a clear cut challenge, but, I did it anyway sort of.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Thanks, I prefer the b&w version but his head looks a little disconnected.

    I am probably going to go with this, which was made using Xara and then some Photoshop color changing.

    This previous Xara sketch I drew looks too much like fan art.
