FEBRUARY ART COMP - 2000AD MASTERPIECES

[CrazyFoxMachine]

From last month's amazing feller Jon

The Venus Bluegenes de Milo, Da Vinci's jumpsuited Betelgeusian man, the Halo Lisa - these are well-known pieces of classical art. BUT JUST IMAGINE if 2000ad characters had been inserted into them - classical sculptures, paintings or just famous art but ZARJAZZIFIED.

Rules be yon:

- You can have as many entries as you want but bear in mind it'll split your vote so IT MAY NOT BE WORTH IT.
- No entries from anything you've done previously - they have to been drawn SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS
- There WILL BE PRIZES. ACTUAL PRIZES. For the first prize winner and for "Tharg's choice" so there's all to play for - !

YOU HAVE UNTIL THE 24th OF FEBRUARY WHEN WE SHALL UNLEASH THE VOTING PYTHON

.....yeah....but you shoulda heard the first idea....

[Kev Levell]

Like.

[Daveycandlish]

I've got an idea for this already!

Best crack on with it before someone else comes up with the same one...

Max Normal as if done by Magritte

[Rio De Fideldo]

Is it my imagination or has this been set as a competition theme before?

[Albion]

Yes it has  (I did Tharg in The Scream by Edvard Munch) but it's worth a revisit with some new boarders here and hopefully it will attract as many entries as the zombie one.

Have some sympathy, Squire! These comps have been running most months since summer of 2006, so there's bound to be the odd repeated theme!

[Jon]

Is it my imagination or has this been set as a competition theme before?

Yeah, sorry, my bad. I've only been involved for a year or so, and consequently wasn't really aware of everything that's gone before.

Ach don't worry!
The only reason I remembered is because I entered the last one wit an idea based on the same painting as DaveyC used..!

[Daveycandlish]

Ah bum hoots - I thought I was being original

Well, yours is a LOT better, being a proper picture and not a shoddy bit of photoshop as mine was..!

[WhitBloke]

Shoddy?  Did somebody mention shoddy?  That would be my cue, I think.
Not so much 'classical' as one of those classic Soviet propaganda posters I've a fondness for but I just couldn't resist this one, though it might go walkies if I can manage to make my 'better' idea look less... well, stultifyingly crappy, actually...  and wind up getting submitted as a replacing entry.



After:

I uncovered this colour prelim of The Birth of Dirty Frank in Botticelli Block and expect to find the full canvas sometime next week.
