On June 18, Justin Timberlake was arrested for drunk driving, and the celebrity's mug shot understandably went viral. But it's more than a meme now. Robert M Lohman said "When I first saw this image of Timberlake, I said, ‘this is iconic.’ I felt a calling to develop it.” And he did, in collaboration with photographer Mary Godfrey. They created a limited-edition series of prints of the mugshot using inkjet on canvas in the style of Andy Warhol.
The artwork is called Tuesday Night Out. Lohman says the prints have been selling like crazy. They are going for $520 through the Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor, New York while they last. Lohman is sure that Warhol would have approved of the project.
