If Classic Works of Art Were Made Today: Volume 2

June 2nd, 2009 | 09:55 am
Being an artist is all about inspiration.  A while back, we decided to take a look at some classic works of art and determine what would inspire those same artists today.  Well, the world has changed a lot since that post, so we decided to do it again.  Here are 7 more works of art that we feel would probably come out differently if they were made today.
 
7.  ORIGINAL - Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel Cherubs

    Hmmmm ... some of these pop cultural pieces have some artistic and creative merit to them ... The Taco has become an artist ... kind of.

    Yeah you're probably right, Tacos, Andy Warhol would probably still be doing the same copycat bullshit that somehow got him famous. Man, i hate that guy....and the staff that actually did all the work for him.

    Your shops are greatly improving! Although I thought the last one should have been titled: Mantegna's Madonna with Children, Ex-Husbands and Fathers

    When is Noah going to sign up for another sex site? Maybe one of those fetish ones, where people have sex with their stuffed animals or something. Or maybe he can join a LARPing group dressed as a gay Chewbacca, hide a camera somewhere, and then in the heat of battle whip out a paintball gun and blast the shit out of everyone, then he can run away screaming in a Chewbacca voice.

    We're working on finding a new project for Noah in the near future. We thought about LARPing or something along those lines.  We'll keep you updated.

    Actually Warhol really would do something like that, especially in the first installment. The Mao portrait replaced by Cheney, that piece of crap would have definitely had someone paint that.

    wtf... why make fun of kobe? its not his fault white women drop their clothes in front of him. holy taco must be full of magic Fans and THEY SUCK!!!!!

  14. Anonymouse Says:

    I'll tell you why we make fun of Kobe: because he gets to fuck a random hot girls butthole every single night, has a hot wife who pretty much lets him get away with it, and millions of dollars to pay a bitch off if she claims she drunkenly murmured "no thanks" when he tried to slip it into her poop chute. We hate him because he has what we want. Just like he hates Michael Jordan. (basketball champ ring joke! hiyo!)

    The octo mom at the end looks like angelina jolie, it would have been funner if it was a black baby

    those angels in number 7 are nowhere near the sixtine chapel, and they aren`t michelangelos, they`re from sistine madonna by raffael, housed in dresden, germany.

    That Octo-Mom is now a Bi-Wife now!

  19. twentythree Says:

    I thought 'Mantegna's Madonna with Child and Cherubs' would just be done again with loads of different black and white babies, and possibly a judge in the background saying 'no more.'

    Hey - Horny Chick
    Thanks so much for putting a link to porn in your message. I was glad it wouldn't let me close it and finally caused my browser to crash. You should be banned.
