    Art in parody

    I admit it: a lot of times, I enjoy parodies of art more than the original work. Low-brow? Yeah, probably. But I still enjoy it. And a lot of times, there is serious creative work that goes into the parody.

    While I was hunting down the myriad uses of Michalengelo's David, I ran across a couple of parodies that gave me a chuckle.



    The Creation of Adam:








    Michelangelo's David:

    American David:




    Royal Wedding David:




    Ronald McDavid:

    In the morning rain, smoking gun in hand

    Probably the most-parodied single work of art of all time is Edward Hoppers Nighthawks, and these just crack me up every time.

          Nighthawks in Fort Worth, bitches!


          Richard Estes, too. Check out that guy's stuff on google images. As good, if not better, than Robert Bechtle.

          Colonel Vogel : What does the diary tell you that it doesn't tell us?

          Professor Henry Jones : It tells me, that goose-stepping morons like yourself should try *reading* books instead of *burning* them!
