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!

You can send them suggestions.
That site is funny!
I do wonder about an office that has a unicorn mask, just laying about.
I’m tempted to suggest something by Hieronymus Bosch.
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/

My favorite was the Mona Lisa.

I love their use of the sombrero in re-creating Flemish masterpieces…
Ah thanks canonicalkoi & chagau! [mops eyes]
