I’ve only just realized that because comments are hiddent when they get to about -4, anything over that means someone “clicked here to see,” realized the other people were right, and thumbs-downed it too.
‘cept when a certain flouncer kept posting, then she was thumbed down on principle. Yep, Regretsians have principles, the finest of which is, “No, fuck YOU!”
Am I the only one that clicks ‘thumps up’ when you can’t see a comment? I’m just so curious about what was said, that I feel the need to do whatever I can to possibly see it… Does this make me a bad person?
I didn’t realize there were roll-over images, so of course I had to see for myself. The first one my mouse caught was that crazy old bird in the next-to-last picture! I actually screamed in fear. Way to go, crazy lady.
P.S. – Old lady kinda reminded me of the old man in the Poltergeist movies. FUCK!
The original is pretty fucking scary. Maybe I need to do some updates, because nothing is happening when I roll my cursor over the stunning transformers.

I concur. I think anyone with Windows 95 and MSPaint could. And, I’m saying this with love: I am using a netbook with a teeny tiny screen, without my glasses, and with improper lighting, but I think I’ve seen enough to haunt my dreams tonight.
You fucking people. This is a poignant tribute to a bygone age. Just because it is poorly executed, hilariously overpriced and unbearably hokey does not mean we should laugh at it, parody it repeatedly, and turn it into a joke. For example, nobody with photoshop skills should put Gary Busey’s face into these images. That would be a mockery of everything elegant about unskilled photoshop goofballs trying to bilk thirtyfive big ones out of suckers on the internet. Shame on you.
Sadly, sad hipster’s facial expression actually WORKS. It looks a lot like a daguerreotype I have of my father’s great-grandmother that looks exactly like my dad – in drag. May have to dig it out and scan that shit….
You have no idea what you’ve started. I’m gonna hafta figure out how to post it from here, though. Damn codger of church computer can’t really do much other than take screen caps.
That is so magical. I wish I were clever enough to come up with one of those Busey-style mnemonic devices he uses. BAPP: Buseyfied Adventures in Photoshop Phuckery?

April 30, 2011 at 5:23 am
Holy Mother of Shit! I would buy that Busey in a heartbeat! I’m going to go with poster size request, because that kind of beauty needs its own wall. I..am in love. His radiant features (buy which I mean his teeth) compliment the delicate curls and bows.
Wow – who woulda known that such a fetching maiden was hiding beneath all the crazy. I think we have just witnessed the birth of a new meme! Next thing you know there will be a http://www.garybuseymakesalovelylady.com.
Jeebus H. Motherfucker, you guys have to stop this shit!
I am looking at this at work and trying unsuccessfully to not laugh like a lunatic!
I swear I will get fired or locked up . . . maybe both . . .
Hey, I worked at one of those once. It’s your job to make ‘em laugh. If they started crying, we’d just put aside the cartridge and call for the next in line while you bring back the smiles with candy and an impromptu shopping spree.
That was the job that cemented my decision never to have children.
I worked for one of the school picture companies. We took care of preschool through junior high.
My boss thought I was good at making the babies laugh, so I was sent to all of the preschools. Once, it was the first day back after the school had been closed for chicken pox. Company policy was to never cancel the appointment, they could just make up the bad pics on retake day.
Imagine an entire preschool/kindergarten of scabby, crabby kids who really wanted to be back home.
Years ago, my long-distance boyfriend used to work at a different name studio photographing kids. They used all kinds of tricks to get the kids to smile including this little contraption used in squeak toys. I was going through a rough time and whenever I called him sad about something (which was really nothing), he’d sit there and and squeak that thing until I ended up laughing like a dumbass.
Long story short, we’re married now and I still have that squeaker.
Wow! I just used place names from Louisiana (“Say ‘Bogalusa!’ Say ‘Natchitoches’! Say ‘Opelousas!’ Say ‘Ponchatoula!’”). I didn’t get a marriage out of it, though. Probably for the best; I was 16.
Best part of my strategy: watching the kids try to decide if I’d just said a dirty word or not. They’d look to their parents, who usually had no idea, which convinced the kids I knew swear words their own parents didn’t know. Most of them decided to go for it and blame me if they got in trouble. I got some of the slyest little grins you’ve ever seen on spawn-visage.
Ugh! I worked at a Wal-mart portrait studio when they were still owned by Portrait Corporation of America (who, thankfully, is now bankrupt). Worst job I ever had!
The company was terrible. You only got paid over minimum wage if you were the top seller in your district. They never replaced broken equipment, props or backgrounds and the lab was constantly screwing up the prints.
Most of the kids were fine, but we had some that were so ill-behaved I contemplated bringing a cattle prod to work. I spent an hour photographing one four-year-old who repeatedly cussed at me, hit me, his mother and his grandmother and basically tore the place apart. His wimp of a mom just sat there.
And before ya’ll ask, no he did not have autism or anything like that. His mother readily admitted that she felt it was inappropriate to punish a child….for anything….ever.
I finally threw them out and then she had the nerve to complain about the photos when they came in!
We kept a “rogue’s gallery” of sorts on one wall. It consisted of all of the little Bebe’s Kids that wouldn’t behave. Oh, to see “adorable” little Johnnie looking like he needed an exorcism,or Mary flipping off the camera at 5 am as we packed our equipment for a long day of dealing with the little boogers.
Oh for the love of whomever…
April 28, 2011 at 9:38 am
OR you could just go to faceinhole.com and do it yourself…I prefer my face with the killer bikini body, it makes me think I don’t need to diet! Oh yeah and it’s FREE!!
Oh for the love of whomever…
April 28, 2011 at 9:50 am
I know it sounds totally wrong on way to many levels. I put my husbands whole construction crew in bikinis, it was pretty funny and f’d up at the same time.
Fake. I can tell by the pixels and from having seen quite a few shops in my time.
(Just kidding. Holy fuck, that is some ridiculously bad Photoshoppery. What the hell were they thinking, giving a blind person access to digital imaging software?)
There’s a game for the 3DS that does this for you automatically. Except the face is attached to a helicopter/monster instead of a vintage photo. Hubs and I put in pics of our cat and dog. The resulting monstrosity is all I can think of, viewing these.
The classy old-timey font on “DIGITALLY ALTERED FACE” lets me know this will be a treasured keepsake for generations to come. This would look good in a golden antiqued frame over the mantel, right next to my Thomas Kincade “Bridge To a Ruined Village” figurine.
Remember those Olde Time Photo Studios they had in tourist towns, where they had you put on a backless dress and pose in a bathtub with a liquor bottle and money?
Who knew there was anything in this world that would make them look like a tasteful alternative?
My sisters, my brother and I got one of those done at Silver Dollar City. Unfortunately, since we’re none of us young, we didn’t get to do the Saloon Girls. My brother did make a nice looking Riverboat Gambler, but my sisters and I all ended up looking like spinster schoolmarms.
I have no idea where this digital artist was taught, under whose master tutelage such technique was perfected, but it’s sure something to be able to command $35 for five minutes toil. Genius!
Holy crap, I took your cat’s class! Hell of a fun teacher, and I learned so much. Things like you don’t have to be very good at this when there are stupid people in the world that will buy damn near anything.
Oh my god they’re not jokes! I thought these were April’s work to illustrate the hilarity of the original work. Then I went to the original artist’s shop.
RigaToni – Me too. Then I realized that April and Bronc between them could do SO MUCH BETTER than this. This is… surely it’s a joke, right? Like, posted for April Fool’s Day, and she’s just forgotten to de-list them?
I was all ready to be ripped apart for making a joke about a serious disorder, then I refreshed to read other’s snark saw +15 and remembered “This is REGRETSY!”
I saw that too and wondered… This should have been at the top of this post… ’cause it was the creepiest… scariest, woof! Run for your life one of the bunch.
uh, that’s a picture of a child. It is wrong on so many levels to put “anal” and a child together. Have some respect for the innocence of childhood. They don’t even need to know about that shit, much less experience it!
You’ve burned that image into my brain now. And I have to take my kids to the museum today. Thanks buttwipe.
And for God’s sake, PLEASE someone who knows what they’re doing (because I don’t) photoshop in a pic of the ‘Regretsy cat’ in the dog face. You will make my year.
OH MY GOD. You just made my year. I have tears running down my face. I LOVE the ‘Before Enhancements’on it…It makes it that much more hilarious. Now we need the ‘After Enhancements’ LOL
If you look at the actual shop- look at the crafters pic- I swear it is my mother, right before she dragged me, my brother Christopher and our maid Carol Anne out of our beds in the middle of the night to chop up roses in the garden. Bring me the AXXXXXX!
Yes, the App is called “a piece of plywood with a hole cut in it that that you stick your face through”, or PPAHOLE. It’s only $149.99 at the App store.
I thought the same thing! And then I thought “Man, Snoop was on Monk, he’s in that Katy Perry video, now he’s on Regresty… That guy is just fucking ubiquitous.”
So, someone just pirated their very first copy of Photoshop and they think that by dropping someones photo into a scan of a vintage postcard, it will somehow be worthy of a frame? I had to visit that site to figure out what she is trying to accomplish. Her profile says: “Creating a lasting keepsake for you makes everything I do worthwhile.” She claims to have over “10 years of experience” — Really? In 10 years this is what you’ve been able to accomplish? I don’t want to be rude but this is a very amateur and crude display of Photoshop “talent.”
Nope, I’m sorry, this is Regretsy. You aren’t allowed to utter the phrase “I don’t mean to be rude” here. Now go sit in time out with the earless elephant and the level 5 cat.
After several attempts to see the amazing changes, I got it to work. It’s creepy photoshopping — Stuff all of us with Photoshop find amusing to do in a WTF? kind of way… Turning it into a business? Not really a great idea.
OMG I totally thought the roll over ones were jokes made by Helen until I clicked on through. If “electronic graphics” is their passion, they may want to invest in some Photoshop classes!
If only Photoshop was available in 1508. Michelangelo could have finished the Sistene Chapel in about an hour instead of five years and then opened up an Etsy store.
Crap–the image needs to be online somewhere, not on your computer. Even a facebook album will work, but then you’ll need to right click on the pic and copy the entire url.
Reminds me of the time a friend bought a real vintage pencil sketch of a couple and erased out the faces so she could draw in her boyfriend’s and her own. It was both amazing and terrible… just like these. I kind of wish I had a copy to submit but she burned it after they broke up.
Goddammitsomuch… As a graphic artist, this blatant Photoshop Abuse is just painful!
Still not as offensive as those pageant photo retouchers though *shudder* (Horrible plasticine skin and creepy doll eyes here: http://www.pageantretouch.com/pageant.htm )
Their eyes are so soulless. And they follow you, no matter where you are in the room, like the paintings in the Haunted Mansion ride at Disney World. I think I saw at least a few of those eyes on that ride. Spooky.
Some of those images legitimately terrify me. They’re like painted corpses with glass eyes. Some of them are just so fake that they end up looking like drawings that have been digitally colored rather than modified photographs, but that’s actually less upsetting to me.
That shit is SO fucked up because, A) they don’t look human, and B) the judges actually pick which one is most beautiful through those pics, which is so fucking impossible because of reason A!!!
I wish I could alchemy request a quilt with all those faces as squares — one side all “before” pics and the other all “after” so i could decide, when I went to bed, whether or not I wanted to have nightmares.
I clicked over to that site, and what is weird to me is that the photos in the “light retouch” section actually look *good*. As in, the people look like unusually attractive human beings, not plastic dolls of eldritch horror. So the person who runs that site clearly knows how to do what she does *well*, but there’s a bigger market for her doing it badly.
I wouldn’t be happy about it either. But there are people who willingly throw away/donate/sell old family photos when they’re cleaning out the home of a relative after said relative passes away. I suspect they do that because no one knows who the people in the photos are anymore, and there’s no one left to ask.
My photo nerd rage is getting riled up by this. Hand colored photos are a favorite of mine and I hate to see them butchered. For Pete’s sake woman, learn to use a filter or two and at least TRY to match the coloration.
Oh god. I’m actually guilty of this. I did this for my kid’s birthday party in a galaxy far, far away. People did tell me I was “the coolest mom on the planet” for turning my kid into a CCG card…
I could probably make $$$ on etsy doing these, but, I don’t own the rights to the original images or card designs. (not that that stops anyone else)
I have a friend who did this kind of thing for a living. The difference was he was a fantastic artist who has great photoshop skills. His shit looked awesome. This does not.
“Yester Year” sounds like the name of a Dick Tracy villain.
If this were my shop, I’d name it Yester Year’s Shoppe of Photographical Digitalizations, and I’d be having an “add a mustache for ONLY 5 dollars!” sale going on right now.
Seller has no sense of scale, fit, angle, color, ANYTHING…..amazing. AMAZING!
Reminds me of the demo reels we used to see when I worked in computer animation. The problem with new animators was that once they got something to move, they are so excited that it worked (this was in the mid 90′s) that they didn’t realize what was moving sucked so badly.
So they would send in this stiff, pixelated crap but because it looked like it was walking (from the legs down, anyway)..they thought they were rockin.
Jeebus Effing Christ, Fisticuffs… I want a Regretsy calendar with one of your fabulous creations for every month of the year. I would pay up to $30 happily. We could raise enough dough for charity to (maybe) erase some of the world’s butthurt. Let’s see… 79,364 x $30…
As an unabashed Victorienne, I find these abominations unpalatable to say the least. I do believe this is the reason why the Frankenstein story never has a happy ending.
…Aaaand this is the image for my brother’s birthday card! Wow, Regretsy is turning into my one-stop shop (or ‘shops)! Guess that’s what happens after you drink breakfast and lunch. To add to the surreality I’m watching Lady Gaga’s song premiere on Ellen at the same time.
God these things remind of those pictures party stores put out for Halloween where it’s a normal vintage picture but if you shift direction or push a button you get these demented looking zombies or skulls looking back at you. I’d actually prefer that to this:-/ What a horrible thing to do to these pictures!
I remember those days… (Not that long ago really) I usually took that 4 minutes to take a shower. (My kids are 12 months apart- they never napped at the same time) I’m still trying to get even with them.
Yes. That’s because I used the new Photoshop Insanity Level filter. Add or remove eye-gleams, facial tics, drool, etc as needed. It comes in very handy on retouching family holiday photos.
It just so happens I’ve now released my latest print. It’s called “Lady Gaga eats a large steampunk beaver in bedazzled Hello Kitty gimp gear while squatting over a Disney Princess, giving birth to a circumcised penis”
Take a look! Only $400!
How much for just the pipe and do you have a high res image of the pipe? I mean, the print is nice and all, but it just keeps my pipe from being completely empty.
Damn you all and your access to and skill with technology! By the time I get my half-assed version ready, you’re already on to the Gary Busey stage of the meme and I’m way late to the fun.
I am disappointed in how disappointed I am that the dog face didn’t change when I rolled my curser over it. That would have made my day to have a modern dog face in there instead of that ‘vintage’ dog. If you’re photoshopping in that other stuff, you might as well shop in Rover.
There is something deeply satisfying (and hugely amusing, about all this disrespectful collage. Photoshop be buggered, it’s all down and dirty modernist technique. Schlong in a bonnet – who could ask for anything more? John Heartfield and Max Ernst would be proud.
so this tells me it is ok to seal an image,alter it, then sell it as my own art?!? why do i have a real job when i can make money stealing images ( i am being sarcastic)
I’m assuming the seller is asking for 300dpi to assure suitable resolution. If the photo is too low a res it can be excessively grainy and full of artifacts when upsampling to a higher res for printing.
Thanks a lot, Regretsy. My unstoppable laughter woke up the old lady with dementia I am paid to take care of. Now she’s going to tell me the same goddamn story for the next five hours.
Damn–these are horrendous. I’ve been doing digital photo alterations for fun for a while now, so I’m appalled that someone is trying to charge for this godawful quality of work. There’s no real attempt to get the head angle/size right, or to properly integrate the composited element into the pic. It’s a bad cut and paste job.
Here’s one I did depicting my ex-gf as Albert Einstein (for FREE!):
Hmmm…maybe I should get on Etsy and try to make some moula…although, I’m ascairt of Helen Killer!

April 28, 2011 at 10:05 am
No, it’s far from enough. We need real vintage Gary Busey art, like if Gary Busey’s grandmother was a star of silent film.

April 28, 2011 at 9:35 am
Well, I guess it beats trying to drag your kid screaming to the Sears Photo Studio while they try to shake toys at him/her.
April 28, 2011 at 10:11 am
Hey, I worked at one of those once. It’s your job to make ‘em laugh. If they started crying, we’d just put aside the cartridge and call for the next in line while you bring back the smiles with candy and an impromptu shopping spree.
That was the job that cemented my decision never to have children.
April 28, 2011 at 10:25 am
I worked for one of the school picture companies. We took care of preschool through junior high.
My boss thought I was good at making the babies laugh, so I was sent to all of the preschools. Once, it was the first day back after the school had been closed for chicken pox. Company policy was to never cancel the appointment, they could just make up the bad pics on retake day.
Imagine an entire preschool/kindergarten of scabby, crabby kids who really wanted to be back home.
April 28, 2011 at 11:46 am
Good image, but not as good as scabby, crabby kids poorly ‘shopped into vintage pictures!
April 28, 2011 at 10:40 am
Years ago, my long-distance boyfriend used to work at a different name studio photographing kids. They used all kinds of tricks to get the kids to smile including this little contraption used in squeak toys. I was going through a rough time and whenever I called him sad about something (which was really nothing), he’d sit there and and squeak that thing until I ended up laughing like a dumbass.
Long story short, we’re married now and I still have that squeaker.
April 28, 2011 at 10:50 am
Wow! I just used place names from Louisiana (“Say ‘Bogalusa!’ Say ‘Natchitoches’! Say ‘Opelousas!’ Say ‘Ponchatoula!’”). I didn’t get a marriage out of it, though. Probably for the best; I was 16.
Best part of my strategy: watching the kids try to decide if I’d just said a dirty word or not. They’d look to their parents, who usually had no idea, which convinced the kids I knew swear words their own parents didn’t know. Most of them decided to go for it and blame me if they got in trouble. I got some of the slyest little grins you’ve ever seen on spawn-visage.
April 29, 2011 at 2:11 am
That makes me happy. Especially considering my relationship is soon to be long-distance. Why oh why could I not have been born a member of the EU?
April 28, 2011 at 2:21 pm
Ugh! I worked at a Wal-mart portrait studio when they were still owned by Portrait Corporation of America (who, thankfully, is now bankrupt). Worst job I ever had!
The company was terrible. You only got paid over minimum wage if you were the top seller in your district. They never replaced broken equipment, props or backgrounds and the lab was constantly screwing up the prints.
Most of the kids were fine, but we had some that were so ill-behaved I contemplated bringing a cattle prod to work. I spent an hour photographing one four-year-old who repeatedly cussed at me, hit me, his mother and his grandmother and basically tore the place apart. His wimp of a mom just sat there.
And before ya’ll ask, no he did not have autism or anything like that. His mother readily admitted that she felt it was inappropriate to punish a child….for anything….ever.
I finally threw them out and then she had the nerve to complain about the photos when they came in!
Rant over. Sorry. :/
April 28, 2011 at 6:29 pm
We kept a “rogue’s gallery” of sorts on one wall. It consisted of all of the little Bebe’s Kids that wouldn’t behave. Oh, to see “adorable” little Johnnie looking like he needed an exorcism,or Mary flipping off the camera at 5 am as we packed our equipment for a long day of dealing with the little boogers.

I was totally geared up for the dog’s face to change.
April 28, 2011 at 9:40 am
There’s a game for the 3DS that does this for you automatically. Except the face is attached to a helicopter/monster instead of a vintage photo. Hubs and I put in pics of our cat and dog. The resulting monstrosity is all I can think of, viewing these.
April 28, 2011 at 9:40 am
The classy old-timey font on “DIGITALLY ALTERED FACE” lets me know this will be a treasured keepsake for generations to come. This would look good in a golden antiqued frame over the mantel, right next to my Thomas Kincade “Bridge To a Ruined Village” figurine.

Remember those Olde Time Photo Studios they had in tourist towns, where they had you put on a backless dress and pose in a bathtub with a liquor bottle and money?
Who knew there was anything in this world that would make them look like a tasteful alternative?

My sisters, my brother and I got one of those done at Silver Dollar City. Unfortunately, since we’re none of us young, we didn’t get to do the Saloon Girls. My brother did make a nice looking Riverboat Gambler, but my sisters and I all ended up looking like spinster schoolmarms.

I have no idea where this digital artist was taught, under whose master tutelage such technique was perfected, but it’s sure something to be able to command $35 for five minutes toil. Genius!

You should send in a sonogram image for them to shop into a vintage photo! It will be perfect for the new baby photo album/scrapbook!

Great, now your baby’s going to come out sepia toned, with a crooked face.
April 28, 2011 at 9:41 am
Oh my god they’re not jokes! I thought these were April’s work to illustrate the hilarity of the original work. Then I went to the original artist’s shop.

you could sell that picture to a “male enhancement” website, if you then publish another picture of that penis *after* enhancements.

OH MY GOD. You just made my year. I have tears running down my face. I LOVE the ‘Before Enhancements’on it…It makes it that much more hilarious. Now we need the ‘After Enhancements’ LOL

So, someone just pirated their very first copy of Photoshop and they think that by dropping someones photo into a scan of a vintage postcard, it will somehow be worthy of a frame? I had to visit that site to figure out what she is trying to accomplish. Her profile says: “Creating a lasting keepsake for you makes everything I do worthwhile.” She claims to have over “10 years of experience” — Really? In 10 years this is what you’ve been able to accomplish? I don’t want to be rude but this is a very amateur and crude display of Photoshop “talent.”
April 28, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Nope, I’m sorry, this is Regretsy. You aren’t allowed to utter the phrase “I don’t mean to be rude” here. Now go sit in time out with the earless elephant and the level 5 cat.
April 28, 2011 at 1:29 pm
yeah it looks more like 10 minutes experience

You can use multi purpose, Belinda! (That’s Regretsy for “thank you”)
April 28, 2011 at 10:32 am
Crap–the image needs to be online somewhere, not on your computer. Even a facebook album will work, but then you’ll need to right click on the pic and copy the entire url.
April 28, 2011 at 10:16 am
@Belinda, you have to upload your photo to a website somewhere fisrt, like flikr or photobucket or imageshack.
April 28, 2011 at 10:20 am
You can use multipurpose too, Princess!
April 28, 2011 at 10:10 am
That is amazing.
April 28, 2011 at 10:15 am
Oooh!!! I have the original photo in my stock collection (that came with some graphics software I bought like 15 years ago)
April 28, 2011 at 11:42 am
That is incredible! And her fingerlessly glove hand looks even MORE anatomically incorrect than the clay portrait!
April 28, 2011 at 1:30 pm
now that is photoshop talent! (of which I myself have none)
April 29, 2011 at 6:30 pm
No, see, you made a mistake–the face here is actually in proportion to the rest of the picture. How are we supposed to tell it’s art?
April 28, 2011 at 10:00 am
Reminds me of the time a friend bought a real vintage pencil sketch of a couple and erased out the faces so she could draw in her boyfriend’s and her own. It was both amazing and terrible… just like these. I kind of wish I had a copy to submit but she burned it after they broke up.
April 28, 2011 at 10:17 am
that’s like people cutting up an antique quilt to make dog beds out of it. or something

April 28, 2011 at 10:05 am
You can NOT MOCK THESE ORIGINAL PHOTOS because all the people in them are dead now.
April 28, 2011 at 10:10 am
Some of them may even have died of CANCER. Not cool, Regretsy.
April 28, 2011 at 10:34 am
FUCK CANCER! (Sorry, it slipped out…)
April 28, 2011 at 10:14 am
Some of them probably were even breast fed!
April 28, 2011 at 1:09 pm
Were they forcefully and unwittingly circumsised by Rabbis with athlete’s foot?
April 28, 2011 at 10:05 am
I should totally be selling my skills. At about 10 minutes a photo, it’d definitely be cost-effective.
April 28, 2011 at 10:19 am
I think I tried too hard though.
This is clearly much more in line with the quality of the sellers’ work.
April 28, 2011 at 11:18 am
Is that Molly Ringwald?
April 28, 2011 at 10:06 am
That is so creepy man…. kinda like those paintings where the eyes follow you.
April 28, 2011 at 10:19 am
Or the mirrors in the Haunted Mansion, where you end up with a ghostly passenger in your car.
April 28, 2011 at 10:08 am
Waalaa! I think I have a natural talent for this! That’ll be 35 bucks please.
April 28, 2011 at 10:19 am
I got in trouble with my boss for this one!
April 28, 2011 at 7:11 pm
It’s pretty good but you need to work on the arms.

April 28, 2011 at 10:11 am
Goddammitsomuch… As a graphic artist, this blatant Photoshop Abuse is just painful!
Still not as offensive as those pageant photo retouchers though *shudder* (Horrible plasticine skin and creepy doll eyes here: http://www.pageantretouch.com/pageant.htm )
April 28, 2011 at 10:15 am
Ew. I can’t imagine those winning any awards – at least the type you’d publicize.
April 28, 2011 at 10:19 am
I wish I had $60 to not look human anymore!
April 28, 2011 at 10:50 am
Shit just got much less real!
April 28, 2011 at 11:21 am
Their eyes are so soulless. And they follow you, no matter where you are in the room, like the paintings in the Haunted Mansion ride at Disney World. I think I saw at least a few of those eyes on that ride. Spooky.
April 28, 2011 at 12:32 pm
The babies are the worst! Who would DO that to an infant? (not that there’s any good age for it…)
My fave, though, was the before and after of black Barbie.
April 28, 2011 at 1:01 pm
Some of those images legitimately terrify me. They’re like painted corpses with glass eyes. Some of them are just so fake that they end up looking like drawings that have been digitally colored rather than modified photographs, but that’s actually less upsetting to me.
April 28, 2011 at 1:13 pm
This one made me poop a little. And not in a good Christian way.
April 28, 2011 at 1:37 pm
wow, Tammy Faye Baby
April 28, 2011 at 1:40 pm
This was the only one that I thought still looked like the same kid in the “after” photo.
April 28, 2011 at 2:39 pm
That’s cuz she didn’t ‘shop out the crossed eyes.
April 28, 2011 at 2:13 pm
I am sooo going to go home and take some face on pics of myself and turn myself into a “Beauty Queen” after a few drinks.
April 28, 2011 at 8:36 pm
That shit is SO fucked up because, A) they don’t look human, and B) the judges actually pick which one is most beautiful through those pics, which is so fucking impossible because of reason A!!!
April 28, 2011 at 9:45 pm
I wish I could alchemy request a quilt with all those faces as squares — one side all “before” pics and the other all “after” so i could decide, when I went to bed, whether or not I wanted to have nightmares.
April 29, 2011 at 12:38 pm
Only $60?!? My six month old gets SO mad when I try to put eyeliner on her, so this is definitely worth it.
April 29, 2011 at 6:35 pm
I clicked over to that site, and what is weird to me is that the photos in the “light retouch” section actually look *good*. As in, the people look like unusually attractive human beings, not plastic dolls of eldritch horror. So the person who runs that site clearly knows how to do what she does *well*, but there’s a bigger market for her doing it badly.
April 28, 2011 at 10:12 am
Think I could make money with this? (Done a while back as an inside joke.)
April 28, 2011 at 10:30 am
With that belt buckle how are people going to know if you have been “mutilated & molested” and if they need to call CPS?

Maybe it is just me…buuuutt..
Wouldn’t it be sort of insulting on behalf of the historical person who could be someone else’s treasured family ancestor?
The seller makes a point on taking care of your family keepsake.
Yet, for the record, I think I would be absolutely pissy if someone slapped a random photoshoped face on my great great grandmama.
April 28, 2011 at 1:02 pm
Not just you.
April 29, 2011 at 12:12 am
I wouldn’t be happy about it either. But there are people who willingly throw away/donate/sell old family photos when they’re cleaning out the home of a relative after said relative passes away. I suspect they do that because no one knows who the people in the photos are anymore, and there’s no one left to ask.
April 28, 2011 at 10:18 am
My photo nerd rage is getting riled up by this. Hand colored photos are a favorite of mine and I hate to see them butchered. For Pete’s sake woman, learn to use a filter or two and at least TRY to match the coloration.
April 28, 2011 at 3:45 pm
And maybe the direction in which the subject is facing, while we’re at it!
April 28, 2011 at 10:20 am
Would it be too pervy if I had my face ‘shopped in my grandmother’s photo, so I could be my own grandmother?

Oh god. I’m actually guilty of this. I did this for my kid’s birthday party in a galaxy far, far away. People did tell me I was “the coolest mom on the planet” for turning my kid into a CCG card…
I could probably make $$$ on etsy doing these, but, I don’t own the rights to the original images or card designs. (not that that stops anyone else)

Big mistake! Now when I perfect my time machine, I am totally crashing your party. And eating all the cake.

I have a friend who did this kind of thing for a living. The difference was he was a fantastic artist who has great photoshop skills. His shit looked awesome. This does not.

“Yester Year” sounds like the name of a Dick Tracy villain.

April 28, 2011 at 10:51 am
Seller has no sense of scale, fit, angle, color, ANYTHING…..amazing. AMAZING!
Reminds me of the demo reels we used to see when I worked in computer animation. The problem with new animators was that once they got something to move, they are so excited that it worked (this was in the mid 90′s) that they didn’t realize what was moving sucked so badly.
So they would send in this stiff, pixelated crap but because it looked like it was walking (from the legs down, anyway)..they thought they were rockin.
This is the same phenom…cept with photoshop.
Just fucking abysmal.

MethinksI think I just had a ‘shopgasm. Mebbee even a steampunk one.April 28, 2011 at 2:49 pm
Don’t know why
methinkshas a line through it. Guess it’s a result of PWD (Posting While Drunk).It’s caught by our spam filter; which primarily consists of language I find obnoxious. – BD

Steampunk Shopgasm is my new band’s name!
April 28, 2011 at 5:20 pm
OH, WOW! Excellent!
April 28, 2011 at 12:22 pm
That is truly inspired.
April 28, 2011 at 12:24 pm
This one’s saved to the doll file as well…
April 28, 2011 at 12:31 pm
That is the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen.
It’s fucking fantastic.
April 28, 2011 at 5:07 pm
Does this make anyone else think of Little Britain?
April 28, 2011 at 12:00 pm
You guys are actually trying to make something that looks good. Too much effort for me.
April 28, 2011 at 12:01 pm
Did someone say Gary Busey???
April 28, 2011 at 12:22 pm
He looks better as a chick. I can’t believe I just said that.
April 28, 2011 at 12:31 pm
Yes! He has a certain Goldie Hawn quality.
April 28, 2011 at 1:47 pm
He looks like Abby from Dharma & Greg
April 28, 2011 at 6:03 pm
This one looks like Beth Howland (Vera from “Alice.”)
April 28, 2011 at 1:30 pm
April 28, 2011 at 1:37 pm
Surprisingly, that makes him look cheerful instead of his usual maniacal.
April 29, 2011 at 6:42 am
Yes. That’s because I used the new Photoshop Insanity Level filter. Add or remove eye-gleams, facial tics, drool, etc as needed. It comes in very handy on retouching family holiday photos.
April 28, 2011 at 12:20 pm
I call it “Narcissism”. Prints for only $800, delivered in PVC pipe.
April 28, 2011 at 12:24 pm
I’d really prefer to see the pvc pipe before I commit to an order.
April 28, 2011 at 12:27 pm
It just so happens I’ve now released my latest print. It’s called “Lady Gaga eats a large steampunk beaver in bedazzled Hello Kitty gimp gear while squatting over a Disney Princess, giving birth to a circumcised penis”
Take a look! Only $400!
April 28, 2011 at 12:55 pm
Wait, wait, that’s so unclear! Who’s giving birth to the circumcised penis, Lady Gaga or the Disney Princess? It makes a difference!
*sigh* almost makes one wish Alchemy was still around…
April 28, 2011 at 1:06 pm
How much for just the pipe and do you have a high res image of the pipe? I mean, the print is nice and all, but it just keeps my pipe from being completely empty.
April 28, 2011 at 1:10 pm
Love!
April 28, 2011 at 6:05 pm
It was so nice of Alan Cumming to pose for you.
April 29, 2011 at 3:30 am
So were these self portraits you had around, or did you look at each figure in the picture and think “what face should I make for this one?”
April 29, 2011 at 5:33 pm
Ha, they’re from an expression reference I did a while ago on DeviantArt. http://stapledslut.deviantart.com/art/Facial-Expression-Reff-197928174
April 28, 2011 at 12:25 pm
NOT ENOUGH THUMBS.
April 28, 2011 at 12:26 pm
Oops, that was supposed to be a comment for Maniac above. You’re terrifying and awesome!
April 28, 2011 at 12:34 pm
Damn you all and your access to and skill with technology! By the time I get my half-assed version ready, you’re already on to the Gary Busey stage of the meme and I’m way late to the fun.
April 28, 2011 at 12:53 pm
Buy handmade!
April 28, 2011 at 12:52 pm
Wow, even my dad and his random photo altering software can do better photoshops.
April 28, 2011 at 1:09 pm
Carrot Top loves his frameable masterpiece!
April 28, 2011 at 1:18 pm
That’s just revolting.
April 28, 2011 at 1:54 pm
It’s not revolting, it’s Harpo Marx!
April 28, 2011 at 2:41 pm
It’s revolting in the way it’s supposed to be revolting though… xoxo
April 28, 2011 at 1:14 pm
The photoshopping talent in this group is totally above average.
April 28, 2011 at 1:29 pm
Looks like he stole the Yearbookyourself’s idea and added some vintage whimscicle fuckery to it.
April 28, 2011 at 1:30 pm
April 28, 2011 at 7:31 pm
I think we have a new logo entry.
April 28, 2011 at 1:40 pm
Is it wrong of me to want all of these framed in my house?
April 28, 2011 at 1:40 pm
I meant all of the ‘shops in this comment thread. Vague comment is vague
April 28, 2011 at 1:43 pm
Late to the party, but couldn’t resist playing my Trump card:
April 28, 2011 at 5:12 pm
i swear he looks constipated
April 28, 2011 at 5:25 pm
But the hair looks too natural.
April 28, 2011 at 1:54 pm
April 28, 2011 at 2:12 pm
I lied. I’m not done.
April 28, 2011 at 5:24 pm
Damn, Bruce really does make everything better!
April 28, 2011 at 2:19 pm
I am disappointed in how disappointed I am that the dog face didn’t change when I rolled my curser over it. That would have made my day to have a modern dog face in there instead of that ‘vintage’ dog. If you’re photoshopping in that other stuff, you might as well shop in Rover.
April 28, 2011 at 2:35 pm
April 28, 2011 at 2:50 pm
I did something like this in Photoshop class last year…
April 28, 2011 at 3:34 pm
Level 4 Cat sez:
“I can has your face?”
April 28, 2011 at 3:51 pm
You know Beaker, the muppet? Right. I just had that expression frozen on my face for five minutes after looking at these.
No, I’m not exaggerating.
April 28, 2011 at 4:52 pm
April 28, 2011 at 5:10 pm
um photo shop beakers face on the lovely fantabulous perfect plastic penis from yesterday ftw
April 28, 2011 at 5:43 pm
April 28, 2011 at 5:48 pm
thank you from the bottom of my drunken heart
April 28, 2011 at 6:07 pm
I’m sorry, that looks more like Larry the Cucumber from Veggietales.
April 28, 2011 at 8:59 pm
Holy shit, it does!
April 28, 2011 at 5:10 pm
I do not have the words to tell you how amazingly craptastic this is.
April 28, 2011 at 5:34 pm
Beaker fhtagn! Ia! Ia!
April 28, 2011 at 5:24 pm
My poor dog has to poop and I can’t get my fat, lazy ass off this computer to take him out. Stawp, just stawp it Fiona.
April 28, 2011 at 5:29 pm
There is something deeply satisfying (and hugely amusing, about all this disrespectful collage. Photoshop be buggered, it’s all down and dirty modernist technique. Schlong in a bonnet – who could ask for anything more? John Heartfield and Max Ernst would be proud.
April 28, 2011 at 5:35 pm
The worst thing about this is the use of Algerian font, i.e., “the tequila font”.
April 28, 2011 at 6:10 pm
Geesh…I really need to stop reading this site at work! I cannot control my laughter and I get evil stares. OK, back to the old grind for me!
April 28, 2011 at 6:41 pm
omg, someone do one with courtney love!!
April 28, 2011 at 9:24 pm
Oh Courtney, you may be a delicate flower but you’ll never eclipse the exquisite beauty of Gary Busey.
April 28, 2011 at 9:25 pm
April 29, 2011 at 1:51 pm
*tears of joy* thank you!
April 28, 2011 at 7:29 pm
so this tells me it is ok to seal an image,alter it, then sell it as my own art?!? why do i have a real job when i can make money stealing images ( i am being sarcastic)
April 28, 2011 at 7:49 pm
These pictures are probably old enough to be in the public domain.
Unless, and this would be really ironic, they aren’t really vintage pictures, but are those vintage dress-up photos you can get at the county fair.
April 28, 2011 at 10:01 pm
For a while I thought the rollover images were joke ones made in the same style as the sample.
Then I went to the seller’s shop and died inside.
April 28, 2011 at 10:25 pm
If you know how to get your photo to 300dpi, then you would know how to do the photoshopping yourself. Lazy seller.
May 3, 2011 at 3:34 pm
I’m assuming the seller is asking for 300dpi to assure suitable resolution. If the photo is too low a res it can be excessively grainy and full of artifacts when upsampling to a higher res for printing.
April 28, 2011 at 11:22 pm
April 29, 2011 at 6:13 am
I adore each and every one of you jealous loser bitches.
April 29, 2011 at 10:19 am
Bravo you magnificent bitches and bastards! BRAVO!!!!
April 29, 2011 at 10:33 am
Thanks a lot, Regretsy. My unstoppable laughter woke up the old lady with dementia I am paid to take care of. Now she’s going to tell me the same goddamn story for the next five hours.
It was almost worth it.
May 3, 2011 at 8:37 am
Damn–these are horrendous. I’ve been doing digital photo alterations for fun for a while now, so I’m appalled that someone is trying to charge for this godawful quality of work. There’s no real attempt to get the head angle/size right, or to properly integrate the composited element into the pic. It’s a bad cut and paste job.
Here’s one I did depicting my ex-gf as Albert Einstein (for FREE!):
Hmmm…maybe I should get on Etsy and try to make some moula…although, I’m ascairt of Helen Killer!
May 3, 2011 at 9:23 am
Another one I did for a friend:
May 6, 2011 at 11:49 am
I agree with #1. Really? REALLY?! I mean, REALLY?!?!? God, and I can’t get a job in the art field.
