Inspirational Artists :: Photoshop Venus

Italian artist Anna Utopia Giordano is giving the goddess of love a complete makeover in her series titled, The Venus Project. Using photoshop, she manipulates famous paintings and increases bust size and whittles the waist to fit today's standards of beauty. While fascinating, it makes me appreciate sensual feminine curves. What do you think?

Van Gogh Gets Tilt-Shifted

I think this is simply amazing...
After seeing the effects of tilt-shift photography, art student Serena Malyon decided to simulate the same effects on Van Gogh's famous paintings using Photoshop. By manipulating the focus and light, (nothing in the paintings were changed, added, or removed) it makes us look at Van Gogh's paintings in a completely different way.
