| Funny Rene Magritte Paintings pictures -
This Friday the artistic world is cerebrating the 110th birthday of Rene Magritte - Belgian surrealist artist. His surreal works are not only visually impressive, but often thought-provoking. His series of paintings titled "The Treachery of Images" shows the realistically drawn objects captioned "Ceci n'est pas..." (French for "This is not..."). His famous image of a pipe is captioned "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" ("This is not a pipe"). As Magritte himself commented: "The famous pipe. How people reproached me for it! And yet, could you stuff my pipe? No, it’s just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my picture ‘This is a pipe,’ I’d have been lying!"
Rene started his career as a designer at a wallpaper factory, and later was a poster and advertisement designer. His first personal exhibition in Brussels in 1921 got horrible critics reviews. Real fame came to Magritte in 1960 (shortly before his death in 1967) when his paintings influenced pop art and culture.
To celebrate the 110th birthday of Rene Magritte, photoshop any of his paintings. Some examples are: show how he would have created his works in the modern days, what people or objects he would choose, etc.
(If you use any of his nude sources, please cover the models in bikini to make them safe for work).

| Funny Military Paintings pictures -
Russian president Vladimir Putin announced the resumption of long-range nuclear bomber patrols which is part of the Kremlin's plan to restore Cold War military units and the Russia's world status of the major military power. The allocated budget for such military expansion is over $200 billion, and will include the doubling of aircraft production by 2025 with major increase in the number of nuclear missiles, aircraft carriers, and tanks. Russia's substantial resources of oil and gas sold to Europe, allowed massive cash injections into Russian military machine, which is getting stronger than ever.
Take any military elements - weapons, uniforms, etc. - and add them to works of art - paintings, sketches, or statues. Examples may include drafted Mona Lisa in khaki uniform holding a machine gun, tanks fighting with dragons, nuclear blast destroying the ancient city of Pompeii, etc. We will accept military elements of any country from the 1980s till the present days.

| Funny Van Gogh Paintings pictures -
This Monday artists around the world celebrated
the 156th birthday of Vincent Willem van Gogh. The Dutch Post-Impressionist artist who produced some of the world's most famous and most expensive art pieces spent all his life as a poor man. After trying careers as an art dealer, teacher, and even a preacher, Van Gogh became a self-taught artist at the age of 27 and produced over 2000 works in his life time, the most famous ones in his last two years.
Ironically his art was unpopular at the time, Van Gogh hardly sold any of his works during his life, and lived as a "starving artist" relying on a modest monthly support from his brother Theo.
To celebrate the 156th birthday of Vincent van Gogh, photoshop his paintings any way you wish. Some examples are: modernize his paintings by including modern objects, sceneries, or people; merge parts of Van Gogh'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.

| Funny Dali Paintings pictures -

To celebrate the birthday of the world's most famous surrealist painter Salvador Dali, show what his art would be like if he created it these days with a power of Photoshop rather than brushes and paint. Would he be doing advertisements, or maybe even posters for movies? See example 1 , example 2, example 3 , and example 4.

| Funny Merged Paintings pictures -
During the routine X-Ray examination of Van Gogh's painting "The Ravine", displayed at the Boston Museum, another painting by Van Gogh was discovered in the deeper layer. Surprisingly, historians have been looking for this "hidden" painting elsewhere for decades, as its sketches known as "Wild Vegetation" were previously found and gave an indication that the complete painting should exist somewhere. Both paintings were done in 1889 with the gap of four months, when the famous Dutch painter decided that he no longer liked the "Wild Vegetation" and painted over it.
Merge any two or more classic paintings together. The artist does not have to be the same. For the purposes of this contest we will also accept sketches and fresco (wall paintings).

| Funny Elephant Paint-Jobs pictures - [ Sunday marked the end of the last-week's anti-poverty "Barely Legal" art exhibit in LA, which included a live elephant with a floral paint job. Even though the paint was composed of non-toxic bio-ingredients similar to the ones used in movie makeup, animal activists called it an 'animal abuse' and demanded that the elephant is cleaned immediately and sent back to the owner. They kept pressuring the exhibit organizers, interfered with the exhibit, and called the LA police until the exhibit organizers finally agreed to wash off the paint from the elephant. ] Emotions aside, the female elephant was in many many movies, and is used to lots of makeup. And I'm not talking about Kirstie Alley here folks - animal activists protected her already. Exhibit organizers merely followed the old saying:
Give an elephant a good paint job - and get lots of friends.
Cross an elephant with a skunk - and get very few friends.
And I'm sure many guests praise them for doing the first part but not the second.
Last but not least, if someone should be happy about this elephant paint job, it's gotta be the Republicans. Because, by golly, in response Democrats will exhibit a painted ass (think Jimmy Carter).
I this contest you are asked to photoshop paint jobs on elephants. Paint jobs can be commercially oriented, or just any art paint jobs you like.

| Funny Caricature Paintings pictures -
Caricatures are very popular nowadays (even at FN!). However first caricatures go back as far as the origin of art itself. Leonardo da Vinci drew many caricatures, and liked to seek people with deformities to use as models. There's a speculation that one of the caricatures Da Vinci drew was his humorous self-portrait (the figure at the bottom of the right half).
The point of the caricature was to offer an impression of the original which was more striking than just a portrait. In fact, the word "caricature" comes from the Italian "caricare", meaning "to load", thus the caricaturist's aim is to invest his image with as much meaning as possible.
Caricature, therefore, experienced its first successes in the closed aristocratic circles of France and Italy, where such portraits were passed about for mutual enjoyment.
Take any famous art work (painting, drawing, fresco) and turn it into caricature by exaggerating the natural characteristics of the subjects in the artwork.

The theft news of Van Gogh "Poppy Flowers" painting on August 21 from a Cairo museum left the art lovers in a state of shock. Van Gogh Poppy Flowers is considered of worth $50 million.

Van Gogh "Poppy Flowers" was previously stolen from the same museum in 1978 but it was recovered 10 years later in Kuwait. The painting went through some serious restoration after it suffered damages "in captivity", before it was returned on display at the Cairo museum.

| Funny Broken Paintings pictures - Police in Norway recovered Edvard Munch's paintings "The Scream" and
"Madonna", two years after armed robbers stole them from a museum in
Oslo. Museum officials said they are upset to find the paintings in
rough condition. Well, what do you expect? Thieves stealing paintings
for the love of art, enjoying them on their walls for a year, doing
extra restoration work, and then returning the paintings in better
than original condition? Well, thank you thieves! Next time please
stop by to take some more masterpieces, we need some restoration done
to them for years! That's thieves, we are talking about,
folks. The guys who break car windows to get stereos and rob museums
of whatever valued trash people consider art. And accusing thieves of
not taking good care of paintings is like accusing Britney Spears
of not taking good care of her kids. Except that Britney is slightly
less qualified.
In this contest you are asked to show how thieves "broke" objects in
the paintings - e.g. broken table in "Last Supper", torn clothes in
Mona Lisa, cracked ball in Escher's "Reflection", etc.
The damage we are looking for is not to be to the painting texture,
frame, paint, etc, but to the objects in the paintings as described
above.

| Funny Winter Paintings pictures -
The surprisingly early snowstorm that smacked the East Coast this weekend picked up energy after crossing the country, producing an "extreme precipitation event" with damaging effects magnified by the fact that leaves remained on the trees. The record-breaking storm on Halloween's eve set itself apart by dumping snow, measuring as deep as 32 inches (81 centimeters) in Peru, Mass., along a wide swath of the East Coast, from Virginia to Maine, at a time when conditions are usually too warm for snow.
To mark this snowfall, you are asked to "winterize" any famous paintings by adding snow to them and adding warm winter clothes to the characters in the paintings. Adding snow is a must, adding winter clothes is optional.
