Artwork description:

This artwork was created entirely by hand using professional 3D modeling software. No AI tools or automated generators were used at any stage. Every component—modeling, texturing, lighting, and rendering—was built from the ground up using my own technical skill and experience in 3D design. The final image was then refined in Photoshop using subtle paintstrokes to provide a more personal touch. This piece represents original, artist‑driven digital craftsmanship from start to finish.

Fanning the Fame — A Short Artwork Essay. by Tony M Fowler

In this artwork, Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe don’t just share a scene—they share a myth. The piece imagines a world where Elvis’s voice is so powerful it becomes a literal energy source, spinning electric fans with every note he belts. That current of sound becomes a current of air, sweeping across the stage until it reaches Marilyn, whose iconic white dress lifts into the moment that defined an era.

The humor lies in the exaggeration, but the truth sits underneath it: both Elvis and Marilyn mastered the art of spectacle. Elvis generated frenzy with a single hip swing; Marilyn turned a simple breeze into a symbol recognized across continents. The artwork captures that shared magic—two icons who didn’t just perform but reshaped the atmosphere around them.

By blending electricity, elegance, and a touch of playful impossibility, the story behind the artwork celebrates how fame is made, magnified, and remembered. Elvis provides the spark. Marilyn becomes the flame. And together, they create a moment that still stirs the air long after the wind has passed.
