We love the work of skilled Photoshoppers, reimagining photos or breathing new life into classic artworks.
We’ve discovered a brilliantPhotoshop competition at Design Crowdwhere some talented individuals have blended together modern cartoons and classic Renaissance artwork.
Betty Boop leading the people
In a much darker edit, Betty Boop and Yosemite Sam are added in place of Lady Liberty leading the people during the French revolution of 1830.
We’d imagine Boop’s creator Max Fleischer never envisioned her clambering over the bodies of France’s enemies.
Go-go-Gadgeto Van Gogh!
The late, great Van Gogh crafted a number of instantly recognisable and well-known paintings over the years.
The one this was based on was a Portrait of Dr Gachet and is both highly thought of andmuch discussed. Now, it instead includes a view of Inspector Gadget, undercover and posing for a portrait.
The Kiss was a masterpiece crafted by Gustav Klimt during his so-called “Golden Period” - it showed a couple kissing, their bodies entwined and wrapped in golden robes.
The Photoshopped features Disney’s Aerial, Sebastian and Flounder. Everyone is happy at the young love.
The creation of Bugs
We’re not sure if this one is blasphemy, but we hope both God and the master Michelangelo would see the humour of this one.
This Photoshopper has transformed The Creation of Adam into something very different, with God seemingly offering Bugs Bunny a carrot or two.
The death of Wile E. Coyote
This might be one of the darkest Photoshoppings on our list. The original image depicts the murder of the French revolutionary leader Jean-Paul Marat.
Now we see Wile E. Coyote in the bathtub where he died. Sinister? Yes. Clever and interesting? Very much so.
Mona Lisa the princess
We’ve seen Mona Lisa in some of the other galleries we’ve created based on the other competitions on Design Crowd.
She’s been reimagined as botha cat and a monkey, but looks even more impressive as a Disney princess captured on canvas.
The Flirt was an original painting by Eugene de Blaas. In the original painting, a man appears to be making moves on a lady who’s relaxing on a bench.
The Photoshopped image makes it seem like he’s merely admiring Snow White’s bird.
The Last Supper
A hilarious and simple edit to the image of The Last Supper sees Homer Simpson sitting awkwardly next to Jesus Christ.
Perhaps he’s wondering who betrayed the Lord’s son.
Bender and the card players
French artist Paul Cézanne painted a few images of men playing cards.
This is certainly our favourite though. Futurama’s Bender is always happy to help chumps lose their money.
Aladdin’s Guitarist
The Old Guitarist by Pablo Picasso, was originally painted in 1903 during a period when the artist was feeling heartbreak from the loss of a close friend to suicide. He painted this image as a nod to the downtrodden, poor, ill and less fortunate.
A few decades later, JeremyC reimagined this iconic artwork with the Genie from Disney’s Aladdin. He probably looks this down because he can’t grant wishes for himself.
