Art in Reverse

A couple months ago I saw this story on the intarwebs about a group of people who tried to re-enact Seurat's famous painting "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte" in real life:

Not bad.

Then today I saw this guy's photography portfolio where he re-creates children's crayon drawings into photography:

Yeondoo Jung's : Wonderland

Pretty cool.

It's also available in one big graphic for side by side comparisons, if you care. It is so inspirational that I wanted to try it myself, but I didn't have any crayon drawings by children except for this portrait of me that my niece drew a few years ago which has always kind of creeped me out:

This is the best recreation I could come up with:

Nope, still creepy.

Enough with the art, here's a naked streaker farting on live TV, which I suppose is a form of art in its own right. [Thanks to Patrick!]

oooooops a maize crayon just accidently fell inside me along side a hot wheels ambulance and a dash of punctuation .?;..?!.!,,!., What a snoozer.

Interesting,

This was complete trash. Creepy how Mr Dan has a thing for children today. He's going to end up on Dateline.

TwinkToilet = Fatty.

Go somewhere else. You're totally played out here. I think you're just jealous that Dan *just might be* getting laid at all... since it's so clear that you're not. Tard.

Very cool Dan...I think you should go into live art, like the painting reeanctment...you've definitely got a knack for striking the pose.

Cool post!

lol, that is funny Dan. I am glad that you interperated that mass between your legs as a bow, lol. Although, it is blue like the rest of your body in the crayon drawing.Yikes!

That was neat! You need to have her do another drawing so you can do that again.

Perhaps that's not a drawing of you but of her favorite actor Dabney Coleman. - I'm just guessing here. I like the interpretation!

Dan,
Hilarious reenactment of your niece's drawing. Really lovely Princess Leia bun-ears, in particular.
I think that streaker post was doctored to add the fart, but the newscaster's reaction is really classic. You can see her struggling to maintain her professionalism, while her natural reaction is to say "what the f*** was that??".
And okay, I have to say something: I admire your powers to ignore the dregs that whine and sniffle at your feet, but can't you please practice a little censorship for the sake of humanity (the rest of us)--and remove those offending posts?? I know you could do it if you wanted to.

Dan, I love you. I've followed your blog for ages and know I can always count on you for a laugh. I'm mourning right now and don't find my smile coming naturally these days, but your blog is a safe and familiar haven for me when I am weary of the tears. God bless you!

Dan, I have enjoyed your stuff so much, that I thought I'd turn you on to a site I thought was funny. Ever want to see PlantDan-- the red-neck, Elmer Fudd, or Cockney version. Try this, if you've never seen it...

You know Fatty and Twink Toilet, I am amazed at the lack of maturity- if you are 15 and under, ignore this message. If you have a problem with Dan, why don't you man-up and deal with it instead of hiding behind a screen name. If you hate Dan, don't make it my problem and stop posting at this website.

And the only reason this is anonymous is because I don't have an account yet. but I am planning on sillynoodle.

Cheers!
