Ok, so here are a few of my sketches about what I want to do so far. I've been gathering images online to use for the bodies of Michelle and Bob. The children, I plan to just draw on their clownsuits, to give it a little more handcrafted feel. I may even decide to draw the bodies of M and B too. If i cant find what I want.

So, there. yes!

Manipulated Images

ok, so number 1, really scares me. I'm terrified of sharks and pretty much all large fish that live in the sea. So this is also a very convincing image, compiled of 2 seperate photographs. Lance Cheung for the US Air Force took the image of the copter, and the shark was taken by South African Photographer Charles Maxwell. Scary dude.

Number 2  Sarah Palin is really funny to me, and the fact that somebody found this photograph and decided to put her big dumb head on it really makes me giggle. It's especially convincing as well, which deservers a "job well done". 

Manipulation is often about trickery- making one think that what they're are seeing is real. And why? Because they can. because it makes them giggle. or it just makes them feel good about being cool enough to know how to use photoshop. Either way, its an interesting concept to think about-being tricked is actually fun! (until it goes too far, and people cry and what not)

These images were not manipulated for popularity or personal gain, just to have a little fun. Make us have a little too.

Jill Greenburg is Funny as Shit

I decided that Jill Greenburg has a pretty hilarious sense of humor. I mean, come on. Anyone that takes perfectly happy, cute little babies, gives them candy, then takes it away so that they cry.
Add salt to the wound, take pictures of them and then tell everyone they were crying about the poor state of America. Babies don't even know what America is, Jill Greenburg. You really are funny! She also used photoshop to make their nostrils large, distorted their eyes, to make them look sadder. Full of more sad sad tears. Good work. They really look like you abused them now!

Note: I like Jill Greenburg. Just letting you know

Anyway, I also loooveeee what she did to John McCain. Talk about FUNNY. She told him that she was going to make him look glamorous (like she did to Gwen Steffani ... PFF HAHA) and put his picture on the ocver of some magazine. Well, she lit him very scarily on purpose, made him look evil as fuck, then without showing him, put it on the cover of this magazine. HAHAHA

Funny! and manipulative. Jill Greenburg, you whore! I love you!

Michael Phelps eats a popsicle! Everybody look!

So, I decided to manipulate the recently found picture of our favorite Olympian, Michael Phelps, taking a huge rip off a bong in his cool, backwards facing hat. How scandalous! A college kid smoking pot? We should probably hold it against him when he's really popular and doing well for himself, because what you do in college should follow you foreverrrrrr.

Tsk Tsk Michael Phelps!

Shut up. Listen, I don't really care for the guy, or even know if he's even a good person. But just because a picture of somebody hitting a Roar (I approve of this, anyway) back in their early 20's doesn't mean shit.

So I gave them something else to talk about. He's sucking on a huge Popsicle now and what are you going to do about it? Talk about it on the news? Make a huge fuckin deal about it? Have everybody in the country (most of which probably smoked in their college days) talking about how irresponsible Michael Phelps is for being a human being and wanting to not be such a tight ass? Ruin the poor guys career because he smoked up a couple times, had a little fun, had a few ego challenging experiences? Huh?

I'm all about commenting on the absolute nonsense our country becomes infatuated with. I'm pretty tolerant of most views, attitudes, personalities, etc. But when it comes to crossing the line of stupidity, I get a little pissed of. In my project, I plan to comment a little bit about the big family on tv craze. One big family in particular who are especially annoying.

Well fuck this shit! Michael Phelps buddy, I'm on your side. Its orange flavored for ya man! Lick up!
