So-called "Fine Art" is O.K., I guess. The only problem is that most of it was produced back before artists had all the nifty graphics editing software we enjoy today. This is just my humble opinion, but I think we owe it to the artists of the past to improve upon thier primitive efforts using the technology now at our disposal!

With that in mind, I present a few moldy oldies that desperately need a graphics wizard like yourself to class them up a little. You can use other paintings as well (lots available at art.com, where I ganked these from). And you can stick new things in there that the original artist could never have imagined in his primitive, no-personal-computer-having life of paint-splattering drudgery.

Judging will be whenever (there'll be a 24 hr. warning). Good luck.

At least Van Gogh didn't have to worry about redeye...

The detail which Munch left out...

"Guns don't kill people, people kill people" apparently...

Good stuff, guys. Masterpieces, one and all. Judging will have to be in about 24 hrs on account of some upcoming stuff, so get those last minute entries in!

O.K.; I've got to judge this puppy now or I may not get around to it for a while. This was almost too close to call. But Rabid Weasle came up with a good gag and pulled it off just well enough to squeak by a uniformly tough field of competitors.

Good stuff, everyone! You're up, RW.

Holy crap! I did not see that one coming! Thanks! Now I gotta think up something to do for the next one...
