Blending City Art pictures - [
Traffic-signal boxes in Stamford, Conn are getting a facelift from the local urban artists, who are tired of seeing them as plain boxes. And it's not graffitti as you may think, it's a realistic art which blends traffic-signal boxes with surroundings. About 50 of the city’s 190 boxes, once covered with graffiti, are now suitable for framing, and many echo the surroundings.

In this contest you are asked to give artistic paint jobs to city structures (we will allow buildings, statues, monuments, bridges & arches) which will blend the structures with their surroundings.
Please refer to this paintjob of this traffic-signal box for a good example. Make sure your paintjobs are artistic paintjobs, rather than just pasted photos.
Blended Beauty pictures - Composite of Angelina Jolie, Cher, Marilyn Monroe and Madonna. Can you figure out which parts are from who. (Full View Please ) / Mouth = Jolie Dot = Marilyn Eyes = Cher. / I wonder whose dirty pillows were used... / PUZZLE KEY :Angelina's body and face structure (including her bridge of nose and eyebrows). Marilyn's nostrils and beauty mark. Cher's lips. Madonna's eye's (somehow my dad got this right, not even knowing who was in the mix...) and hair. I think she ended up looking a lot like a younger Roseanna Arquette. Go figure. 'Twas fun to "play god" / ... I am in awe (and a little scared) of your talent

Starbucks brine-blend pictures - Still one on every corner / thank you very much, I'm new at this . / Very good for a n00b, I might say. Excellent idea.
Hanes Blend Cigar pictures - Fidel Castro incinerates his underwear / The head isn't attached to body in a realistic way. Putting shadow on the neckline would help, as would putting a bit of neck on Fidel. / Considering what's happening below, the neckline is the last of his problems.
Indiana Toad and The Blender of Doom pictures - / Classy, even if gruesome . I don't wish to quibble, Keb, but the batrachian in question is a tree-frog, family hylidae, as distinct from bufonidae (toads) and ranidae (frogs). Only the latter are edible. / you know your frogs. To me it was a common tree frog like the ones in my back yard. I put Indiana Toad because it sounded better than Indiana Frog. Maybe I should have looked up the latin name and put Indiana Ranidae that has a good ring to it. / Debbly, Of course apraxine knows his frogs. He's French.
