Whoops! Sorry about the cut-and-paste error in last week's instructions - it seems a line from the previous contest snuck its way in, provoking widespread urban rioting and resulting in at least three deaths. But art must go on! When we asked you to Take a famous painting, drawing, or photograph and make it "wide-screen" by adding more imagery to the left and right of the original work, you didn't let the bloody unrest keep you from churning up an easelful of hee-larity, like so:
First prize - $100
intaglio - Nude Slipping On A Banana Peel
I guess this makes intaglio the Duchampion! Tee-hee!
Second prize - $50
edrex - Drawing Hands Get The Finger
Our favorite of the approximately 3.6 million Escher entries.
Third prize - $20
plinth - C'est une pipe.
Rene Magritte meets Crocodile Dundee.
Honorable Mention
Anthroponym - Picasso By Numbers
One of the master's great unfinished works.
carlcarlson - P Ness
We laugh, yet we are ashamed.
faithcoaching - Distractions
Such focus the man had.
Josephus - I Saw The Shipping Charge In Gold
Woot's office/warehouse is a perfectly adequate building, but no part of it looks this cool.
Minimum Rage - Wife and Daughter of the Son of Man
More Magritte, less rock.
soothedbyrainfaill - Memoirs of a Surfing Geisha
A true geisha must be skilled in the arts of dance, music, conversation, and ripping a gnarlatious knee-drop through the glasshouse.
taipan - La Mierda de la Vaca
The widescreen shot PICASSO DIDN'T WANT YOU TO SEE!
twallis - Blue Dog Group
This entry is approx. 25.76 times more entertaining than the Men it parodies.
xb1az3x - Neil Before Zod
The Phantom Zone does funny things to your coloration, it appears.
Champions' Championship Champion
tgentry - The Decopitator
tgentry charmed our Winners Emeritus with this black-humored look into the dark heart of Rockwell's America.
We sense there's a joke hidden somewhere in this entry by faithcoaching, but since we can't figure it out, we'll give it a Monkey Prize to go alongside this week's Honorable Mention on f-co's trophy shelf:
OK, then, art is now officially dead. If you created a money-winning entry, please email your Paypal info to jtoon@woot.com. The Monkey winner should send his/her mailing address to the same, and Honorable Mentioneers may use coupon code HONMEN-FS for free shipping on a future order. Until next time, remember: the wider a painting is, the better it is.
