See, now I was just going to comment that I ONLY want this if I get the picture of her family. It just seems like the most breathtaking one, and the view from the back of MY house is crack alley, and my family is a bunch of ugly people.
I guess it takes all kinds, huh? That’s art for you.
Maybe she can photoshop a picture of me playing the triangle over a photo of Jethro Tull performing onstange in 1972. I’ve always wanted people to think I toured with Jethro Tull in the early 70′s, and this could be just the proof I need!!
You’re right, fuzzying is not the right look for my request.
I probably should take my custom request to that artist who historics up your pictures using vintage pencil drawings. I could get one of me and Ian Anderson, gazing longingly at each other in our big sunday bonnets, in a Victorian setting. Just like the way it really happened, but in a piece of irrefutable photographic proof that nobody can deny is completely convincing and true.
I’m almost speechless… I mean, to think I’ve wasted all this time actually just making cool stuff & attempting to sell it. You know, when really I should have just scanned an old family photo, used a “feather” gauge with the select tool and stockpiled images of majestic landscapes. The is a goldmine — just like bottled water. Damn it… damn it… damn it…
If my backyard had a view like this, why would I want to ruin the view with a picture of my fucking family? I wouldn’t mind this if they used Mike’s picture, though.
No, no. This just has to be a joke. They HAVE to be creating this only to get on the front page of Regretsy. I cannot believe otherwise and keep my sanity.
My sister works in a photography portrait studio. Their business model is built around the use of cheesy backdrops and props.
This opens up whole new vistas for the concept.
I wonder if I could get this seller to blur in someone more attractive than my ex-husband in my old wedding photos? And maybe have them set somewhere a little grander?
24.buzzbattlecat sez:
“I love this. For ONLY $10 you have PERMISSION to print out your own two crappy photos, on your own printer, with your own paper.”
After my initial ‘WTF???’ response, that was my first though. A large part of the price of prints is the paper and especially, ink. So you’d be paying $10 for an image a 5th grader could do, to be e-mailed to you, so you can pay even more for it by using your own materials? Wow, no self-esteem issues there!
And I felt weird offering the option of gift certificates in either paper or electronic format (with no extra charge for paper), when I was on there. Jeez, I could have made a mint.
OH, the possibilities are endless!!!!….what if we took old pictures of our dead relatives and super imposed them on a picture of clouds with the sun peeking through? It will be like they’re in heaven.
We could do this with living people that we know are already going to hell!
“Would look great over the barnwood mantle, honey!”
For a minute there I thought she’d desecreated Johnny Cash, and I was getting ready to find out where she lived and stage a drive-by flamethrower incident.
I’ll be honest….I didn’t even look at her Etsy page. It just happened to be the first thing that came to my confused mind. I’m starting to think I might have a little ESP going on here. Maybe I should try reading the paws of cats….?….I hear that’s a booming business right now!
My mom gave us an 8×10 of our 2 year old’s face photoshopped onto someone in an adult Hello Kitty costume… and unfortunately, these make that photo look pretty awesome!
When I was in high school (late 90′s) my parents took my sister and I to Hollywood. Across from the Walk of Fame was a little souvenir shop that sold pictures of you standing next to a photoshopped star of your choice. The outcome is a picture of me standing awkwardly near a rack of potato chips with a randomly placed Justin Timberlake next to me. Those photos still exist in my Mother’s living room in a cheap plastic frame. This totally reminds me of that!
….and that last donut/clown photo doesn’t have the proper fuzziedness. Someone needs to fix this. Does anyone out there got this? Will someone out there wrap this up?!
I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Till the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Mmm, mmm, mmm
The thing that irks me the most is not the hideousness of the entire concept, but the fact that the seller is using the clone tool to add more mountains in the background to make the “view out the back porch” look much more awesome than it does in reality. I wonder what eyesore he covered up?
It’s really weird that you typed this while I was doing what I was doing (picture below), and my signature on the Regretsy forum mentions pulling an appendage. {insert Twilight Zone theme music}
I think it’s heartening to see how someone has not let their total lack of skill, talent or taste get in the way of her dream to make money as an artist.
can someone please tell me how to read the passworded posts? i tried the password from facebook (many times, different days) and nothing. i want to read the secret stuff!!!
Also, each password is for a specific day, so be sure to match up the correct password w/ the correct day for it to work (you can solve the case sensitivity by just copying/pasting from the facebook feed).
Also, I discovered that when I was using Firefox as my browser I couldn’t get the passwords to work, but in IE I could. I dunno why. I never did get the rollover-the-picture-and-see-the-freakish-old-person-made-young thing to work…but for my own (tattered) sanity, I think that was for the best.
Oh my, are those hummingbirds to the left in that picture? Just looks odd. From your description, I was expecting memorial photographs of her loved ones fuzzy-wuzzied into the clouds of heaven.
The ‘memorial’ ones are $20 (!) and “$10 for each additional copy”. That’s mighty big of her, taking advantage of the mourning of others. I was annoyed, now I’m just mad.
OK, I’m growing a nice pair of cataracts at the moment, and I can’t see all that great. So I was wondering what a pair of shoes was doing in the sky in that photo.
then I enlarged it and saw it was some birds, and I’m still somewhat confused.
My friend got her picture taken with her boyfriend while we were in high school…I think it was at Ames (which is skankier that Wal-Mart). Their smiling faces were fuzzied inside a lovely brandy snifter. We referred to it as “Fruit Cup” behind her back.
I had that same photo taken of myself with 2 of my best friends when we were in college! (If you are wondering if we were drunk, then you are CRAZY. Of course we were drunk!) It was either Ames or Zayres, circa 1990. KLASSY.
(When I saw the first pic, it struck me that it looks just like these pictures taken in amusement parks, at the worst moment in the rollar coaster, when you get splashed with water, or in a sharp turn that makes you sick, and that they try to sell you at the exit. Except that no one on the pic is howling in fear, or laughing, or raising their hands, or vomiting. Hence the “boring” part.)
Helen & Byrd on a mountain top. Where is that, gotta be a trick…
There’s a parking lot, and, and an upturned palm in the right-side fuzziness.
Got it! Sugar Loaf Mountain in Rio with statue of Jesus.
Do I get a prize?
It makes the pic even funnier if that’s the backdrop.
Gaaaaaack! Keep the photo-collages coming! Better than listing on Etsy any day of the year!
Isn’t that the next Semi-thon at Estyland?
“Blurry Edges Pix Enhanced with Potato Salad and the Tango Sets the Summer Theme At Etsy No Outside Links Allowed, Ever”
Starts at 9 AM on Friday because, as we all know, Etsy closes at noon until noon the following Monday.
Which is why lame Announcments are made at 11:59 AM every Friday, without fail.
They is gone and more out of touch than usual for almost 3 days a week.
Why are you with the baliff from Judge Judy? What Zydeco listening, coleslaw eating , thick rimmed glasses wearing person from Etsy took you to court ?
I can’t help but laugh AND feel bad for the lady since I know what she looks like..she looks so sweet and grandma-ish. Shame on you! *snorts in silence* I mean tsk tsk!!
May 4, 2011 at 9:49 am

I can’t even bring myself to make a snarky comment…it just doesn’t seem necessary.
May 5, 2011 at 1:11 pm
is that Judy gold in the first pic?
May 4, 2011 at 9:50 am
Do I get their family in my photo? Because I wouldn’t really want one of my own.
May 4, 2011 at 10:02 am
See, now I was just going to comment that I ONLY want this if I get the picture of her family. It just seems like the most breathtaking one, and the view from the back of MY house is crack alley, and my family is a bunch of ugly people.

May 4, 2011 at 10:51 am
I want a picture of the laser beam-eyed puppy from their family photo taking a whiz onto a snowy scene, spelling out my kid’s name.
May 4, 2011 at 10:07 am
Maybe she can photoshop a picture of my family in her backyard, then photoshop the picture of her family on top of them? I think it’s convo time!
May 4, 2011 at 10:17 am
Maybe she can photoshop a picture of me playing the triangle over a photo of Jethro Tull performing onstange in 1972. I’ve always wanted people to think I toured with Jethro Tull in the early 70′s, and this could be just the proof I need!!
May 4, 2011 at 10:28 am
The ’72 tour was Thick as a Brick. Good Choice!
May 4, 2011 at 10:55 am
But then she couldn’t use her awesome fuzzying skills! I don’t think “fuzzy” is a good description of Jethro Tull, unless you’re using some good shit.
May 4, 2011 at 11:12 am
You’re right, fuzzying is not the right look for my request.
I probably should take my custom request to that artist who historics up your pictures using vintage pencil drawings.

Be careful playing triangle in a rock band! Remember what happened to Rex Stardust!
May 4, 2011 at 6:35 pm
You should go with a picture of you playing the cowbell. There isn’t enough cowbell in the world.

May 4, 2011 at 9:51 am
It must have been chilly in the city. Bronc, have you thought of getting some pasties?
May 4, 2011 at 9:55 am
Quick, superimpose some (preferably with tassels). Just make sure you blur those edges so it looks professional.
May 4, 2011 at 9:58 am
The term is “fuzzied”
May 4, 2011 at 10:14 am
I’m 12, because the idea of fuzzied nipples made me giggle. Fuzzy those nipples!
May 4, 2011 at 10:17 am
OK, I just searched the ENTIRE photoshop menu system and there is no “fuzzy” tool.
There is, however, “Feather”
May 4, 2011 at 11:15 am
That’s what they call the people at Disney who wear the costumes with heads.
I used to know a woman whose daughter was a Fuzzy and her son was a Furry. Fortunately she hit promoted to Alice in Wonderland.
May 4, 2011 at 10:26 am
I used the Hello Kitty ones to make it classy.
May 4, 2011 at 11:02 am
I didn’t think anything could top Justin Beaver bowling amid the pyramids, but classing up Bronc’s nips made Fresca go up my nose.

Photoshop is like the discovery of the atom. It has the potential for great good, but also, great evil.
May 4, 2011 at 12:49 pm
PowerPoint is like that, too, except for the “great good” part.
May 4, 2011 at 5:48 pm

May 4, 2011 at 9:53 am
I’ll send you my kid for free. He’ll glue stick all your favorite family photos to each other.

Just make sure you give royalties to Helen
May 4, 2011 at 11:37 am
Can the royalty be on a plate?
May 4, 2011 at 11:48 am
Only if it’s coleslaw.
May 4, 2011 at 11:45 am
With coleslaw?

If someone thinks this will look awesome and beautiful in their home, I now understand who buys sofas with built in recliners.
May 4, 2011 at 9:57 am
haha…sigh. My mom just gave me one. Don’t know if I should be more ashamed of the couch, or the legacy.
May 4, 2011 at 10:06 am
Don’t knock the recliner sofa! What in the hell else are you supposed to do when the vodka kicks in, stumble off to bed and risk injury?
May 4, 2011 at 10:34 am
Plastic protective slipcovered sofas with built in recliners, thank you very much.
May 4, 2011 at 10:54 am
My husband keeps trying to convince me we NEEEEEEED a reclining couch. Um. No. No we do not.
May 4, 2011 at 11:01 am

May 4, 2011 at 9:55 am
Jealous of that photo of you and Byrd.
May 4, 2011 at 9:59 am
One of the best days of my life.
May 4, 2011 at 10:05 am
did I miss the story on this? how did you meet him?!
May 4, 2011 at 10:06 am
I don’t think I told that story here yet. Maybe that will be the Members Only post tonight.
May 4, 2011 at 10:26 am
Tell me that you bitch slapped someone on Judge Judy and I will cry sparkle tears of rainbow joy.
May 4, 2011 at 11:11 am
….while riding a purple unicorn.
May 4, 2011 at 9:56 am
Totally jealous of you with Petri!! JEALOUS!!!!!
May 4, 2011 at 9:57 am
This has GOT to be a joke, no ? I mean, is it possible that people post crap on Etsy just so they can make it to Regretsy ?
May 4, 2011 at 9:57 am
This is not two great things that go great together.
Let’s take a decent mountain view photo and shit it up with a pic of your family all squeezing together to get in the shot.
May 4, 2011 at 10:03 am
You got your landscape in my family portrait!
You got your family portrait in my landscape!

May 4, 2011 at 9:58 am
I don’t have any snark either… it’s just stupid. It doesn’t look natural; it doesn’t make any goddamned sense.
But then again, it’s still early and I’m not very drunk yet.
May 4, 2011 at 10:00 am
The snarky pictures are better than the etsy one.. clearly you are missing an etsy shop idea

I love this. For ONLY $10 you have PERMISSION to print out your own two crappy photos, on your own printer, with your own paper.

Nested picture of your own family inside your own family . . . ad infinitum!
May 4, 2011 at 10:34 am
Why is my Dad in that photo!?
I’m so disturbed. The man with the beard looks EXACTLY like my father. Does he have a second secret family? Thanks Etsy for ruining my life.
May 4, 2011 at 11:03 am

That is beautiful. Can you make that look more vintage, like with some flowers and stuff?

Also, each password is for a specific day, so be sure to match up the correct password w/ the correct day for it to work (you can solve the case sensitivity by just copying/pasting from the facebook feed).

Also, I discovered that when I was using Firefox as my browser I couldn’t get the passwords to work, but in IE I could. I dunno why. I never did get the rollover-the-picture-and-see-the-freakish-old-person-made-young thing to work…but for my own (tattered) sanity, I think that was for the best.

I want a poster of this.

Sweet baby jesus, that’s not the worst one in her shop:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/8574539/photographic-memorial-of-a-deceased-love?ref=v1_other_1
I am not going to linkify that because LOOK AT THAT URL and then look at the Regretsy post. YES, it is as bad as you’re imagining.
May 4, 2011 at 11:34 am
Oh my, are those hummingbirds to the left in that picture? Just looks odd. From your description, I was expecting memorial photographs of her loved ones fuzzy-wuzzied into the clouds of heaven.
May 4, 2011 at 11:47 am
Am I a bad person because I now want someone to photoshop this pic w/ Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussien, etc.?
May 4, 2011 at 12:49 pm
The ‘memorial’ ones are $20 (!) and “$10 for each additional copy”. That’s mighty big of her, taking advantage of the mourning of others. I was annoyed, now I’m just mad.

OK, I’m growing a nice pair of cataracts at the moment, and I can’t see all that great. So I was wondering what a pair of shoes was doing in the sky in that photo.
then I enlarged it and saw it was some birds, and I’m still somewhat confused.

Please highlight or enlarge the land shrimp in the upper left corner.
I loved when this was originally posted. I giggled and snorted all over the place.

That one made me snort/laugh/pee- the highest praise I can give you!

My friend got her picture taken with her boyfriend while we were in high school…I think it was at Ames (which is skankier that Wal-Mart). Their smiling faces were fuzzied inside a lovely brandy snifter. We referred to it as “Fruit Cup” behind her back.
True story.
May 4, 2011 at 11:44 am
I had that same photo taken of myself with 2 of my best friends when we were in college! (If you are wondering if we were drunk, then you are CRAZY. Of course we were drunk!) It was either Ames or Zayres, circa 1990. KLASSY.
May 4, 2011 at 12:58 pm
Yep, this was the early ’90s as well. Good times.
May 4, 2011 at 11:40 am
I love the never ending photoshop fun here on Regretsy.
May 4, 2011 at 11:44 am
Me too. They need to be put in a book and sold! Or just crammed into a vintage KFC bag and tossed.
May 4, 2011 at 11:48 am
Most boring roller coaster ever!!!
May 5, 2011 at 1:47 am
(When I saw the first pic, it struck me that it looks just like these pictures taken in amusement parks, at the worst moment in the rollar coaster, when you get splashed with water, or in a sharp turn that makes you sick, and that they try to sell you at the exit. Except that no one on the pic is howling in fear, or laughing, or raising their hands, or vomiting. Hence the “boring” part.)

Helen & Byrd on a mountain top. Where is that, gotta be a trick…
There’s a parking lot, and, and an upturned palm in the right-side fuzziness.
Got it! Sugar Loaf Mountain in Rio with statue of Jesus.
Do I get a prize?
It makes the pic even funnier if that’s the backdrop.
May 4, 2011 at 11:52 am
The one of April and the Judge Judy bailiff is my favorite.
May 4, 2011 at 12:14 pm
I thought the seller’s pix might have been from some Writer’s Conference/ Etsy Orgy then I realized it would have been a Brooklyn Skyline background.
May 4, 2011 at 12:14 pm
All the awesome photoshoppery (fuzzied style) made me think that perhaps this couple deserved a more realistic background:
May 4, 2011 at 12:26 pm
Thanks to the combination of two prescriptions, my edges are plenty fuzzied. So are yours. And yours. Wait – that’s a hat rack.
May 4, 2011 at 12:26 pm
Gaaaaaack! Keep the photo-collages coming! Better than listing on Etsy any day of the year!
Isn’t that the next Semi-thon at Estyland?
“Blurry Edges Pix Enhanced with Potato Salad and the Tango Sets the Summer Theme At Etsy No Outside Links Allowed, Ever”
Starts at 9 AM on Friday because, as we all know, Etsy closes at noon until noon the following Monday.
Which is why lame Announcments are made at 11:59 AM every Friday, without fail.
They is gone and more out of touch than usual for almost 3 days a week.

Please put this on a mug so I can purchase it. It will go well with my Kate and Harry mug…
May 4, 2011 at 6:56 pm
If you blew it up and photoshoped it onto a banner, you could use it when you got tired of the plain old fridge wrapper.
May 4, 2011 at 1:22 pm
okay, the most important issue was not addressed:
Why are you with the baliff from Judge Judy? What Zydeco listening, coleslaw eating , thick rimmed glasses wearing person from Etsy took you to court ?
May 4, 2011 at 1:29 pm
That is a very valid question. Can you imagine the awesomelessness of Judge Judy and HK together?

May 4, 2011 at 1:28 pm
The great thing about drinking all day is that the edges are always “fuzzied.” Saves me 10 bucks.

I’m thinking that Oy! Vey!, while adequately catching the horror, isn’t the best choice here.

Damn. those giant donut hands make me want a glazed doughnut.

I”ll take care of that craving for ya:
It looks like goatse.

Ummm….hellloooo? Are you forgetting the time you met Gary Busey? That sounded pretty breathtaking.

Our last family photo was with my in-laws and not one person was smiling. Maybe she could superimpose us over a crime scene!

Ten dollars for ten seconds of “work”, makes sense to me!

This post, and the entire comment thread just made me very happy.

I can’t help but laugh AND feel bad for the lady since I know what she looks like..she looks so sweet and grandma-ish. Shame on you! *snorts in silence* I mean tsk tsk!!
