Meet Fools Do Art.
His name is Chris. His name is Francesco. They love recreating famous paintings. All of the painting remixes are done at the Squarespace office in NYC. The only rules are that all props must be things found in the office and all editing must be done on a phone (Android or iPhone). Enjoy!
Update: Must add the new one. H/t chigau.

That site is funny!
I do wonder about an office that has a unicorn mask, just laying about.

If nothing else, they’ve shown the original artist didn’t know much about human anatomy. Real legs don’t bend that way. Maybe they should recreate some of those absurd female superhero drawings.

Someone – a guy – did do that, by way of illustrating & mocking how absurd they are. I forget who and where…

Jim C. Hines did his own takes on women in SFF book covers. My particular favorite is the pose-off between he and John Scalzi. He’s got the blog posts referencing ridiculous poses collected here – http://www.jimchines.com/cover-posing/
