inflation and devaluation of currencies.
Let us imagine that oil always ruled the world even in the medieval
days. Photoshop works of art (paintings, sketches, or statues) - to
include any elements connected to oil - refineries, gas stations, etc.
You are encouraged to show oil being worshipped, angels with gas
pumps, people praying for oil, etc. Feel free to change characters in paintings with politicians and celebrities.

| Funny Celebrity Art? pictures - If you haven't heard already there will be a new chain of Hotels called "Nicky O", based on the designs, drawings and collages by none other than Nicky Hilton, the youngest of the Hilton sisters. She got a bunch of investors to invest a bunch of money into this hotel project based on a "bunch" of her masterpieces. To build a business around Nicky's drawings, is not like asking Michelangelo to paint the Sistine chapel, it's more like asking Britney Spears design a new logo for Nike, and if the project is a success, Nike will sell the whole twelve and a half pairs of sneakers a year. To be honest I am not surprised the younger Hilton sister is finding more and more talents in herself - the latest one being a drawing talent the size of the Empire State Building - it's just a law of nature that when a person becomes a celebrity they suddenly discover a whole set of their talents, drawing being just one of them. In this contest you are asked to create drawings, paintings, design sketches, collages, and logos created by celebrities and politicians. Don't just show us flawless works of art - show the real deal with sloppy drawing style and perhaps some notes on it from author celebs/polits. Any type of drawing technique is allowed. This is a twisted contest where you have to do a good job creating a bad art. If the concept is still not clear enough or you would like some quick ideas, just think of the magic word "MS PaintBrush".
P.S. Thank God Nicky is doing this project without the help of Paris, or the chain of hotels might well have been named "Nicky HO", instead of "Nicky O". And by golly I bet such HOtels would have been much more successful, given the Hilton sisters' background and "hands on" experience. |

| Funny 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.

| Funny Football in Art pictures -
It’s that time again… When Super Bowl Sunday dominates the U.S. headlines, and people plan their Sunday evenings around a get-together, party, or the game. This Sunday the New Orleans Saints will face off against the Indianapolis Colts for Super Bowl XLIV.
President Obama will hold his second bipartisan Super Bowl party this weekend, his aides announced Friday morning.
It will be a much smaller affair than last year when more than 75 people gathered to watch the game at the White House theater. It's an interesting fact that no sitting president has ever attended a Super Bowl. The closest came in 1985 during Super Bowl XIX, when President Reagan tossed the coin via satellite from the Oval Office. Happy Super Bowl Weekend, everyone!
To celebrate Super Bowl Sunday at Freaking News, add American Football theme to any works of art (paintings, sketches, fresco, statues) - add football helmets, footballs, or football uniforms to characters or compositions from any works of art.
From now on, all contests starting on Friday will have a 3 day submission period. There will be no contest posted on Saturday, as we have two contests posted on Monday.

His father - a wealthy French banker - was originally against Edgar's love for art and wanted him to become a lawyer instead. At the age of 21, Degas dropped out of Law school and went to Italy for three years where he copied the works of Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian. Degas talent flourished under the guidance of his first teacher
Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, whose first advice to Edgar was "draw lines, young man, many lines..."
