\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Interesting use of photography, photo manipulation and illustration.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Some of his photographs, including Paris<\/em> (1984), Clemmons Prison, Texas<\/em> (1985), Woman’s Face in Darkness<\/em> (1989), and Texas Prison<\/em> (1988) are part of the permanent collection in NYC’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m all about this abstract concept <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mahurin has also directed several music videos since 1986, and has worked with U2, Metallica, Jaye Muller, Tracy Chapman, and many other popular music performers.M<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of Mahurin’s signature moves is to photograph himself and perform photo manipulation in his commercial photo-illustration work. Some of these portraits have appeared on magazine covers: On the November 29th 1993 cover of Time<\/em>, he appears as Sigmund Freud. On the March 14, 1994 cover of Time<\/em>, he is depicted as a caveman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
I’m more of a fan of his photography than his illustration. This shot is really cool.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mahurin’s undoubtedly most notorious work is the Time<\/em> cover of O.J. Simpson. The cover features an altered mugshot on which Mahurin removed the photograph’s colour saturation (inadvertently making Simpson’s skin darker), burned the corners, and reduced the size of the prisoner ID number. His cover appeared on newsstands next to an unaltered copy on the cover of Newsweek. Some controversy over photo manipulation came out of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
