MAD Mission #10: Quirk-a-meter portrait series

[Fiddlette]

In connection wit MAD Mission #10, I have a thought to share about the quirkiness of individuals at the site, as inevitably, the subject comes up from time to time, especially when new ones arrive....

How quirky is quirky, and how quirky do you have to be to be consider quirky by fellow quirks? (LOL)

we all register a number on the quirk-a-meter...but that doesn't devalue our art in the least! And, artists are works in progress, anyway! Look at how many stages Picasso went through in his career!

So this MAD mission #10 is for those of you who think you could demonstrate a minimum of FOUR quirky portraits in one series of art. I recently saw a beautiful portrait in Somerset Studio presented four ways, each progressively quirkier, and more radically altered...but the first one was pretty quirky to start with, each one a little different from the last.

It was really a gorgeous series...

I am going to post it here for all of you to see, because I do not have my own example yet, and I am viewing this as a QUIRK ADVANCED PROJECT, if there ever was one, because you will be altering THE SAME PORTRAIT a miniumum of FOUR TIMES....it does not have to be your own portrait, any will do!

I'll be back momentarily to post the examples....I cannot WAIT to see what Nicole does with this one, lol!!

Okay, this is totally inspired! Will definitely be working on this one!

[Kazadoodle]

Hmm - while it doesn't seem overly quirky, it is pretty darn cool - LOL

I've seen this idea before, but can't remember where! Will post a link if I can find it.

Thanks for the wonderful idea.

So it will be a kind of Andy Quirkhol series of images? I love the idea, though using my own portrait is probably not an option if I want to stay calm and collected. :o

You know, I was just thinking that. Madge has arrived (although her post about us being barking mad pretty much sealed the deal for me with her... I was like, "Ok, this chick is tops in my book!").

So, it's been a month since I first thought about doing this, and it only took me 30 minutes when I actually sat down to do it! :) Anyway, here's the link to my gallery (http://www.digitalartquirks.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=310)... start with #1. Not too quirky, but fun none-the-less.

Thanks!

Man I sure with I could digi-brush my dark circles and laugh lines every morning for real!!

Great project!

ETA: Oh dear...looks like I was supposed to do four different layouts. Well, I chose this way because I just bought one of those Princess purses where you can insert a digi layout as the cover. I want to freak people out walking around with a twisted looking purse!!

[webchyck]

Glad to see people are finding our challenges and having fun with them! I think it's time to get some new MAD challenges going...oh...Robyn!!!!

Outside the Bible, these timberland mens casual shoes (http://www.timberland1973.com/) six words are the most famous in all the literature of the world. They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because timberland pro work boots (http://www.timberland1973.com/) Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but also for every thinking man and woman. To be or not to be, to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly and eagerly, or to live timberland waterproof boots (http://www.timberland1973.com/) dully and meanly and scarcely. A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally. He answered it brown timberland boots (http://www.timberland1973.com/) by saying: I think, therefore am. We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning; signifying renewal, timberland mens roll top (http://www.timberland1973.com/) as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three womens timberland premium boots (http://www.timberland1973.com/) quarters ago.When love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you,ladies timberland boots (http://www.timberland1973.com/) yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you, believe in him, though his voice timberland 14 inch boots (http://www.timberland1973.com/) may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.I have always wondered at the passion many people have to meet mens timberland chukka (http://www.timberland1973.com/) the celebrated. The prestige you acquire by being able to tell your friends that you know famous men proves only that you are timberland black shoes (http://www.timberland1973.com/) yourself of small account. The celebrated develop a technique to deal with the persons they come across. They show the world a timberland boots uk (http://www.timberland1973.com/) mask, often an impressive one, but take care to conceal their real selves. They play the part that is expected from them, and timberland wheat boots (http://www.timberland1973.com/) with practice learn to play it very well, but you are stupid if you think that this public performance of theirs corresponds with the man within.What is your recovery rate? How long does it take timberland boots clearance (http://www.timberland1973.com/) you to recover from actions and behaviors that upset you.I could not forget it.We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with timberland brown 14-inch premium boots (http://www.timberland1973.com/) fear.
