Octavian Mielu has recently created a series of beautiful portraits titled “Personalities Smoke Posters” which features well known celebrities and historical people like Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, Mickey Mouse, Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, The Joker (Heath Ledger), Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Steve Jobs and many more!

These awesome smoke portraits are currently up on Indigogo where you can help support them. Starting from just $30 you can have a small poster printed up of your favourite celebrity as a smoke portrait - Octavian is also offering to create a celebrity smoked portrait especially for you. Octavian says:

I use different smoke photos and techniques that combines perfectly to manipulate misty impressions of iconic public figures, such as Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, Micky Mouse and more. The impermanent, unpredictable and fragile nature of smoke has allowed me to create these wonderfully eerie images, and I’m really pleased with how they’ve turned out.

Why smoke?  Because the lines are beautiful, the transparency forms different shades of black and grey and the lines of smoke make striking portraits. The posters give a whimsical look to well-known characters which creates an almost ghostly style of artwork.
