Sorry Peter, just couldn't resist joining in the fun

[xerubus]

scary.. he actually looks good as the dame...

[Nnnnsic]

A bit more... (see, I did learn a lot about art in Uni!)

Albrecht Durer... he seemed to paint himself as Jesus quite frequently...



The original is here (in case you don't get it...)

[blacknstormy]

My turn - high art

[stubbsy]

It's kinda sad that of all the images I have posted here for your commentary and critique, this one has elicited the most views and the most commentary. Maybe I should sell my camera and take up sewing.

[blacknstormy]

I'm sorry Stubbsy - you are a brilliant photographer, and I apologise unreservedly for my 'playing' with your photo .....
I promise I will not again post on this thread.
Rel

(ps - can you do hems????)

[antman]

Tel -Leigh-Tubbies !

My favourite but I have enjoyed every single one.

[johndec]

Peter, don't be depressed,be proud!! This is is the first time in the history of this forum that a 4 page thread has NOT swung wildly off topic. Also, your original pic might not win POTW, but one of it's offspring might  BTW, I find this thread hilarious and repeat my earlier call for someone to teach we PS challenged idiots how to create the "art" displayed. Failing that, how about a "Fat Elvis" Stark...

[blacknstormy]

Damn it, damn it, damn it - and I promised, but couldn't let the challenge go to waste ......

[stubbsy]

If you can't beat 'em join 'em (and Rel I'm having a ball too)

Herewith my attempt and it's even in keeping with the title of this thread (which appeals to the clever in me) a portrait of Joseph Smith. Hopefully someone will get the reference or my wit is only half good

[stubbsy]

Damn it, damn it, damn it - and I promised, but couldn't let the challenge go to waste ......<snip>

Hem.... (how am I doing so far)

Thought you promised. Go stand in the corner with Craig.

[blacknstormy]

Sorry Peter - am now standing in the corner weeping, with my head in my hands

It is bloody fun though isn't it???? LOL

Did you like "leighvis"?

[stubbsy]

Sorry Peter - am now standing in the corner weeping, with my head in my hands ?

So how'd you type this then. PS Yes Leighvis was good.

[wendellt]

Stubbsy:

Hans Holbein's "The Ambassadors"

The original:


My one:


Holbein painted the skull so that you physically had to put your head down on the canvas and look up at it to see the skull within the right dimensions.

yeah Leigh this one is good, but I sqw that painting at the National Gallery London and you simply have to walk past it at the right angle to see the skull instead of putting your head right up to it.

[blacknstormy]

Ok, dried my eyes and have a question - this is the Joseph Smith that wrote that translated the book of Mormon into English, had magic stones (????) was apparantly irresistable to woman, and declared that man could have more than one wife????????

So this has become the church of Leigh??????

Yes he's the mormon Joseph Smith, but I sure hope the rest doesn't apply. So how does the pic relate to the title of the thread?
Edit: And why are we discussing this at 12"15 am when we should all be tucked up safe and sound in bed?

[blacknstormy]

 LOL - don't know, I have to be up in 3 hours, to leave in 4 hours to go and having a meeting on site with a representative from the DPI for our scientific purposes audit !!!! ARRGGHHHHH - and now I'm sitting here trying to figure out the link between a mormon with magic stones (that bit cracks me up) and Leigh, well, LDS .....
I think I'm just thick = I don't get it..... but will sleep on it, and hopefully will figure it all out tomorrow ....

Night Peter - thanks for starting this thread, has been great

[Nnnnsic]

Perhaps we should be in bed.

But I decided to tackle this one for the past hour... modifying a Picasso work with it... and damn, it wasn't easy.

Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon has become...



I think with enough cut and pasting, I've kept Picasso's spirit alive.

[blacknstormy]

got it - LDS , as in lds-mormon.com the website??????
LDS = Latter Day Saints

Or Leigh D Starke

Woo hoo, I think I got it

Nicely done Leigh - that would have driven me crazy !!! LOL _ hence Picasso I guess

[Nnnnsic]

The LDS thing is an inside joke.

My full name is Leigh Daniel Stark and I sign things with Leigh D. Stark really never forgetting the D.

When I was younger and living in Dallas, we had some form of digital radio on our satellite network thingy and there was a station that said "LDS" on it and I naturally thought it was a station for me, not even having heard of a group called the LDS...

Well damn, I didn't listen to that station for long.

Coincidentally, move two letters around and I became a very interesting drug.

[blacknstormy]

 LOL - Leigh, you are a sad little puppy
And it was the Church of the Latter Day Saints radio station wasn't it?????
Dag

going to bed, night guys

[Nnnnsic]

Indeed it was.

Mind you, I do like a lot of gospel... but damn... a radio station just for Latter Day Saints? Didn't see that one coming when I was younger.

[gstark]

And to just add a smidgeon of surreality to this thread (yep, just a smidgeon) When we moved to Dallas, the two guys who were my bosses were both Mormons. And myself, the other lead programmer, the marketing manager, and one of the other programmers were jews.

Four Jews, Three Nikons, Two Mormans, and a Caddilac in a pear tree, I guess.

[Nnnnsic]

Allow me to screw up every Trekkies' wet dream...

[Nnnnsic]

Fear the useless man (one of many):

[Nnnnsic]

I would've tried the Daleks, but they don't really have any faces or ... body parts so to speak of... so I tried him instead.

Doctor Who (the recent one):

[blacknstormy]

I'll see your Downer, and raise you a Bishop (It is Bronwyn if you don't recognise/remember her )

[blacknstormy]

Hey, Dr Who worked out well !!!!!!

He was a brilliant doctor too - bummer that he didn't want to be type-caste When does the next series start???????

[Nnnnsic]

OT (This topic? Off-topic... wait... how?!): In a few months in Britain I think. Who knows here. The Christmas episode is fantastic, but knowing our luck, we'll air it on Halloween.

[blacknstormy]

ok then - Leigh Baker - took over playing Dr Who from Jon Pertwee in 1974, and played the doctor for 7 years (aka Tom Baker)

[blacknstormy]

Or even better, Leigh Starke as the 10th Doctor, with his assistant, Bil-leigh Starke

[Nnnnsic]

I tried something a little different. I tried creating a Simpsons character off of the photo we're all chopping.



I gave the melted army guy the strap from the photo and a little Nikon Coolpix.

[Nnnnsic]

What's big, green, and has my eyes?

[blacknstormy]

Wonder leighman

[Nnnnsic]

Where's mic when you need him?

[gecko]

Clever stuff

Teletubbies and Dr Who get my vote so far

I just found this autograph of the doctor from Lost In Space...

[xerubus]

for those of you that don't know of 'all your base', you can see it here... had a cult geek following quite a few years ago.

Didn't see that one coming. It's one of the classic lines.

Rel, love the Leigh Cooper and Wonder Leighman. You obviously got the funding you were going for at some ungodly hour this morning, was it to fund a bigger PC for photoshopping?

[wendellt]

this thread has revealed some people are just damn fine in photoshop, well done all

[gstark]

This thread just gets betterer and betterer.
