Booooooom! — that’s seven Os — is a great if oddly-named art blog. For several months, it’s hosted a project which invites readers to submit photos of themselves recreating famous works of art. Here’s Sybille de Chavagnac’s vision of The Kiss by Gustav Klimt. Check out the rest at the link. Be warned: some of the submissions are nudes.

I tried to Re-Create a Salvador Dali painting….but the Giraffes were too hard to set on fire.

Really wonderful! I did a series of illustrations after many of those paintings earlier this year.

These are all really interesting to look through, but I haven’t run into one that captures the essence of the paintings. There’s so much power and/or innocence and the beauty that comes with it portrayed in those paintings, and none of the models manage to catch that. It makes me really appreciate the artists of these paintings.

Visited the link. Loads of pictures. Only a few gems. Some were a little too “original” for my taste.

Some of them were original in good ways, though. The “Lamentation over a Dead Christ” that takes place on a beach was my favorite in that genre.
