Funny Partial Face Transplants pictures -
[ A year after a Frenchwoman received the world's first partial face transplant, doctors say the operation was a success and she is gaining more and more sensitivity and facial mobility.
British and American doctors already have plans for a first full-face transplant. ]
Even if full face transplants become successful, politicians will never
accept them. It's just too expensive to get transplants on two
faces.
In this contest you are asked to perform partial face transplants on politicians and celebrities. The right half of a face has to be from one celebrity and the left half from another. Jessica Biel can be a good image source as well as others. Politicians and celebrities face mixes are also allowed and cross gender face breeds too.

Since the last time we ran a Partial Face Transplants contest, it was featured on numerous blogs and websites. UPDATE: Several pictures from this contest were published in the print edition of the Daily Mail - Thursday, September 6 issue, as well as in their online edition. To give this wonderful idea a new spin and to show our new creations to all the visitors who come to see partial face transplants, we are running a second round of this contest today.
Photoshop partial face transplants by merging VERTICAL halves of faces of any celebrities, politicians, famous people, or historical figures.
A left face half has to be from one person and a right face half from another. When performing your "surgery", try to make the final face look as photo realistic as you can, and let us know which two people you are merging - either in the entry title or in the author comments.

A year and a half later, the recipient of the first successful partial face transplant is showing good progress - even her smile has returned completely. The French woman, Isabelle Dinoire, was the first person in the world to undergo a successful partial face transplant operation, and she has been under a close attention of her doctors and the media since then. After the success of Isabelle, only two more operations of such kind have been successfully performed in the world - one in China and another one in France. Inspired by the results, doctors say that full face transplant operation may become feasible sooner than we expect.
This contest is a spin off of our two popular "Partial Face Transplant" contests that have been featured by many media publications including People Magazine and The Daily Mail. Today we are going to make it somewhat different from the previous two contests - the task is to perform partial face transplants on the celebrities or politicians of your choice by COMBINING THEIR UPPER AND LOWER FACE HALVES. Don't just paste over the eyes, or the mouth, it has two be upper and lower face halves combined, and don't forget the nose - it has to consist from two different celebrity noses too.

Let them lose weight so that they look much slimmer than in the originals. You may wish to browse our past anorexia contest for the inspiration and photoshop slimming techniques.

Alton Kelley, one of the founding fathers of psychedelic art, died this Sunday at the age of 67.
Alton Kelley was most known for creating psychedelic posters and psychedelic album covers for rockers in the 60s, including such big names as the Grateful Dead (famous "skull and roses" poster), Journey, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, and
Steve Miller. Kelley's works greatly influenced the leading artists of Psychedelic Art movement such as Rick Griffin, who moved to San Francisco after seeing Kelly's psychedelic posters and soon started producing his own.
To pay our tribute to Alton Kelley, photoshop Psychedelic Art any way you wish. Some examples are: create your own psychedelic art, or photoshop any famous posters, movies or paintings to give them
Here's one psychedelic theme.
Funny Partial Aging pictures -
Scientists discovered why some aging brains
stay sharp. When aging process naturally worsens the memory, brains concentrate more, which provides daily brain exercise necessary to keep it sharp. The study finds that people with poor memory in their older years are normally sharper than their peers.
Keeping brain young slows the aging process for a whole body and helps to stay young. Brain is divided into two hemispheres - right and left. Most people have one brain hemisphere more active and dominating the other one. Depending on which brain side is dominant, determines many character traits - e.g. almost all "right-brainers" are left handed.
In the light of the above study, exercising brains helps to slow aging, but most people have one brain hemisphere dominant over the other. Can we thus expect that aging process may go unevenly in right and left parts of one's body?
Take the same celebrity (or politician, or otherwise a famous character - from history, movie, paintings, etc.) and VERTICALLY merge left and right parts of the face THE SAME PERSON at different ages - old and young. A good example would be merging right half of Al Pacino's face when he was young (or even a kid) with left half of his current face, or even with his old face in the future. You are welcome to choose either the real photos from younger and older years of your celebrity (then vertically merge the face halves), OR use one face (photo) and make one (vertical) half older or younger.
This contest is a spin-off of our popular Partial Face Transplants contest, which has been published in many magazines including People, Daily Mail, etc.

paintings, statues, drawings or sketches. You are welcome to choose
any known monsters (e.g. Godzilla, Predator, Gollum, etc.) or design
your own monster based on the character in the painting (drawing,

Funny Partial Gender Transplants pictures -
A number of studies of the recent years has shown that when it comes to love, the old rule "opposites attract" may not be so true. Close examination of faces of thousands of couples has shown many similarities and common facial traits among spouses or lovers. People tend to subconsciously choose a partner that looks similar to him / her one way or another. So "similarities attract" may be a better rule, at least in the recent years. Furthermore, when people start living together they develop similar face characteristics together by naturally copying each other's facial emotions and expressions.
Let us show which celebrities of opposite gender share enough facial characteristics to make a natural couple:
You will need to choose two celebrities of the OPPOSITE GENDER, and transplant a VERTICAL half of a face from one celebrity to another. Here's a good example.
This contest is another spin-off of our popular Partial Face Transplants contest, which has been featured in many magazines including People, Daily Mail, etc. In addition to celebrities, you can also use politicians, famous word figures, or characters from old paintings as one of the sources in a merged face. Note: the two faces you use as sources do not have to be a real couple in life, but they do have to be of OPPOSITE GENDER.

Funny Partial Bodybuilders pictures -
First lady Michelle Obama, may have a fashion following after her frequent appearances in sleeveless outfits showing off her nicely toned arms. More and more women now want to wear sleeveless dresses, and gym instructors report that women clients are asking about getting “Obama arms.” We wish to pre-warn all these women not to over-exercise their arms - otherwise instead of Michelle Obama arms they'll get this or even worse... heavy muscled Madonna arms.
Take any celebrity or politician, and make part of their bodies over exercised (bodybuilder like) as in this example. Please note that we are looking for only partial bodybuilder transformations (e.g. arms, legs), do not turn a whole celebrity into a whole bodybuilder.

Funny Body Parts pictures -
With the recent health care advances, more and more people receive complex organ transplants which were not possible years ago. The trend even got into Hollywood: the recent movie "The Eye" (2008) shows the main heroine undergoing a cornea transplant which gives her strange visions.

Surprising news from archaeology this week - recent excavations of
ancient European settlement showed that women wore short tops and mini
skirts as long as 7000 years ago. Such "modern" women's wardrobe was

Funny Earthquake in Hawaii pictures - [ Hawaii was shaken by a strong earthquake this Sunday. Even though there were no victims, the last Hawaiian earthquake this strong (magnitude of 6.5) struck more than 20 years ago. ] I've never been to Hawaii (nor have I been anywhere else), but it looks like it's not a good time to visit. There are several things to keep in mind though, if you want to live like a true Hawaiian:
You measure the water for the rice by the knuckle of your index finger.
Your only suit is a bathing suit.
You are barefoot in most of your elementary school pictures.
You drive barefoot too.
You honk your horn only once a year during the safety check.
You have a sister, cousin, auntie, or mom named "Honey Girl" or...
You do not understand the concept of North, South, East, and West, but instead give directions as Mauka, Makai, Diamond Head, Ewa, and use landmarks instead of street names.
Hawaii or Havaii? Havaii. Thanks! You're velcome!
I'm almost done adjusting my lifestyle to the Hawaiian list above. Which means I am almost ready for a visit. Earthquakes got nothing on me - I survived the highway patrol catching me driving barefoot in my bathing suit, dammit. And I'll let you figure out what "barefoot" means as my bathing suit is my birthday suit.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop anything connected to the earthquake in Hawaii. Examples could be new Hawaiian tourism adverts, magazine covers, creative ways and devices to cope with Hawaiian earthquake, etc.

Funny Partial Illusions pictures -
Latest marketing trick in advertising on cars is to do a paint-job which extends a picture of a driver. Such gimmick quickly grabs the viewer's attention which then slides to an advertising message next to the paint-job.
Take any object / person and partially cover it with another object with a picture that continues the partially covers object - this way that the whole composition makes an illusion that the two objects are part of the whole. Think of paintings, magazines, buildings with paint-jobs covering anything extending its picture and making an illusion. Here's an
example 1 , example 2, and example 3.
This contest is a generalization of our popular celebrity money contest where celebrities needed to be partially covered with banknotes.

Chinese toy industry is suffering a massive drop in demand from the United States, due to some toys containing toxic levels of lead and other heavy metals.
With all these toys that China produced and can not sell, perhaps they can still use them in the following way:
Photoshop any products, objects, architecture, animals, insects or people partially made with toy parts. A good example may be a car which has toy doors and wheels (life size), or a gun which has toy gun parts. Please remember that cyborgs and robots are not made of toy parts and will be disqualified. E.g. A body with a toy head is an example of acceptable entry, but a body with a cyborg head is not acceptable in this contest.
Funny Escher Art pictures -
Today is the 111th birthday of Maurtis Cornelis Escher - one of the most
famous and recognizable artists in history. Escher's unique vision of
the world combined art, patterns, and mathematics to create some of
the physically impossible yet realistically looking illustrations,
like "Waterfall" and "Ascending and Descending". Quite like some of
his famous predecessors, Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, Escher
was a left handed artist. In addition to many famous drawings which,
Escher also illustrated books, designed tapestries, and even was hired
by the Dutch government to design new Dutch money in the 50s (the
banknotes were finally not approved for being too "twisted"). The total
count of Escher's works during his lifetime is over 2000.
To celebrate M. C. Escher's birthday at Freaking News, photoshop any
of his works any way you wish.

them nowadays, merge his works and any other famous works of art, give
famous movie posters Escher's style and theme, etc.
Funny Oil Art pictures -
The price of oil may reach $100 as early as next year unless OPEC members
unexpectedly increase production.
Higher oil prices mean higher revenues for energy producers like
Exxon Mobil Corp., and higher costs and more bankruptcies among the
airlines. US and other oil importing countries may expect accelerated
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 Art Movies pictures -
Despite the poor reviews from movie critics, Da Vinci Code movie has been so popular with the viewers that Columbia Pictures is making a sequel.

Photoshop characters from the old paintings (drawings and statues are ok too) starring in any movies. You are welcome to change movie titles or make sequels. Some examples are: Adam starring as James Bond, American Gothic couple starring as Mr. and Mrs. Smith., etc.
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 Leonardo Art pictures -
Artists around the world celebrate the 557th birthday of Lenoardo Da Vinci today.

Some examples are: modernize his paintings by including modern objects, sceneries, or people; merge his paintings with movie posters (see example ) ; merge parts of Da Vinci's paintings with other famous paintings; commercialize his works by turning them into advertisements for modern products; turn them into billboards, etc. These are just some ideas. Here's another good example.
You are welcome to use Da Vinci's frescos and numerous sketches (e.g. Vitruvian man) in addition to paintings.

To mark the 65th birthday of the great film director, photoshop any of the Martin Scorsese movies any way you wish. Some examples are: designing a sequel or a prequel movie, changing the cast, merging his movies with any other movies. See what creative titles you can come up with.
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 Rembrandt Art pictures -
This Wednesday, July 14 is the 403rd birthday of Rembrandt van Rijn. Rembrandt is one of the most famous painters in art history and the most famous Dutch painter. After becoming famous, Rembrandt taught many artists in his Dutch studio for over 20 years - the period that historians call the Dutch Golden Age. During this period the Dutch style of painting was largely shaped by Rembrandt studio and his techniques were passed from generation to generation of Dutch artists.
To celebrate the 403rd birthday of Rembrandt, photoshop any of his art works any way you wish. Some examples are: show what Rembrandt art would be like if he created it nowadays. Would he be creating advertisements and movie posters? Would Rembrandt paint modern celebrities? Would he be using photoshop for his art? These are just some ideas.

Funny Warhol Art pictures -
This Thursday is the 81st birthday of the "father of pop-art" Andy Warhol. Andrew Warhola (his real name) was an American with Slovak roots and worked as advertisement illustrator for Vogue and other magazines, before becoming famous. Andy coined the phrase "15 minutes of fame", but there's a rumor that he was dyslexic and he really meant 51 minutes :)
To celebrate the upcoming 81st birthday of Andy Warhol, take any photo or art work (painting, sketch, illustration), and turn it into Warhol-like pop art. Alternatively, blend any art work with Warhol's art.
Funny Earth Hour pictures -
This Saturday at 8pm (local time) millions of people across the world as well as thousands of businesses turned off their lights for an hour to promote electricity conservation. The event is called
Earth Hour and it was first held a two years ago in 2007. This year, on March 28, the event was joined by over 80 countries, 4000 cities, and numerous locations - from Antarctic research base and the Great Pyramids of Egypt to the Empire State Building in New York and the Sears Tower in Chicago.
Let's see what would happen if Earth Hour went more global by turning lights off in the famous paintings and movies. In this contest, give night theme to famous paintings and movie posters. You are welcome to change the movie titles to reflect the night theme. Please don't use only brightness adjustment or filters, put more effort in your work by adding moon light, changing backgrounds, adding a lit candle, etc. A good example of an entry for this contest would be Forrest Gump movie poster showing Forrest Gump sitting on a bench holding a candle in the moonlight.
