This is what happens when an artist/graphic designer becomes obsessed with everything chiles and reinvents them into famous artworks and movie posters … you get Chiles Meet The Masters and Chiles Meet The Movies series. This week Mr.D’s chile art is like greased lightning — Chiles Meet The Movies, Grease!
Monday Chile Art has been running on the SWD Facebook page for almost a year now. Check in every Monday for more here at Southwest Discovered.

The craft: First I look for a poster where I think a chile would fit the motif, and it amuses me. Using Photoshop CS6 on an iMac, I begin masking over the original poster. If the end result makes Amy laugh, that tells me my chile work is done! –Mr.D
