Altered Art Prints, it's what we do best and love to do. We take old paintings, portraits, and famous works of art and modify/alter them usually in a cheeky, humorous way to bring them up to scratch for the modern interior! This portrait painting of the French King of France King Henri IV, has twisted balloon bunny rabbit ears added over the top, in super realistic altered art editing! These graffiti prints are perfect for the living room, hallway, bedroom, and more. They make amazing additions to gallery walls too!

In 1905, when the Andean photographer Martín Chambi was 14 years old, he traveled to northwestern Peru with his father, who had a job working in a gold mine there. At the time, there were no indigenous photographers in the country, and images of the Quechua people were mostly captured through the lenses of French and American photographers.

Nowadays, it's pretty common tp give lots of attention for animals in art, but in the past it was different. The subjects of the famous paintings were almost always humans. There's nothing wrong with that, but the great painters of the past are long gone, and it makes us wonder what if animals were the subjects of the famous paintings that we've come to appreciate from art history. Even though this may not be the reality, some digital artists rose to Design Crowd's challenge to try their hand at giving their guess of what it probably would have looked like. Let us present to you some of the select pieces from the aforementioned challenge that we think did their job rather well. As with all art, check it out and judge it yourself!

Tomorrow I’m going to be doing a tutorial on how to make a mid-late 18th century inspired bergere hat, so I thought that perhaps first I should tell you exactly what a bergere is, and we should look at lots and lots of bergere inspiration. A bergere is a low crowned, wide-brimmed hat, usually of straw, but sometimes made of other materials covered in silk. Bergere hats first appeared in the 1730s, and were popular in various forms throughout the 18th century. The style saw a revival in the 1860s, and the name was occasionally used in the decades after that to describe hats based on similar shapes, though these were more commonly called Gainsborough or picture hats. A 1930s fashion column even makes the link between the two. Bergere literally means shepherdess (the masculine shepherd is a berger), and the style has a strong link with 18th century pastorialism, and pastoral fashions. Bergere hats are also sometimes called milkmaid hats. It’s easy to see how a simple, wide-brimmed straw hat would be a useful …
