Picasso's Girl In The Mirror- the redo

I've had an on/off project of redoing famous art with animals. So here's Picasso's Girl In The Mirror, with a zebra.

Faimous painting redo: Leda

This is my take on the painting "Leda and the Swan" by Leonardo DaVinci.

Well, in fact, Leonardo's painting was lost and nobody from modern times has actually seen it, so it is mostly known from somebody else's redo, this copy, but I'm sure though that it bears more resemblance to the original piece than my version.

Redo a Famous Painting- ALIEN GOTHIC

Alien Gothic

What can I say, I love to depict aliens in human "earthling" settings. Of course this is recognizable as the iconic American Gothic with my version called Alien Gothic. I did this piece with prismacolor markers and colored pencil highlights. This was displayed at the Rahr West art museum in Manitowoc, WI along with many other works of art from some very talented artists from our art group "Art and About". I was pretty happy with the way it turned out.  This design was used on the 2009 t-shirt for Spuntnikfest held in Manitowoc.

ABOUT SPUTNIKFEST
Its early morning on September 6th, 1962 and the skies over Manitowoc are illuminated with an eerie green light. A bright object, burning like the sun creates an arc and plunges toward earth crashing smack dab in the middle of 8th Street! 49 years later…it’s wacky! It’s tacky! It’s time to celebrate with Sputnikfest 2011! Be hokey, fun, and ridiculous! Join us in September at the Rahr West Art Museum  for dancing in the streets, extraterrestrial snacks, an Artta this World Art Fair and a galaxy full of fun and frolic as we celebrate Manitowoc’s link to the space age!

redo a famous painting (part 2)

This is my second illustration for this challenge. Mrs. Pincus made the suggestion for this version and I thought it was a good idea — despite my dislike for Norman Rockwell’s work.

Pinkie by Thomas Lawrence, a delicate portrait of eleven-year old Sarah Barrett Moulton and Blue Boy by Thomas Gainsborough, a portrait of a young man believed to be Jonathan Buttall, the son of a wealthy hardware merchant, were purchased by American railway pioneer Henry Edwards Huntington and displayed opposite each other in his private collection at, what is now, The Huntington Library in San Marino, California.
