ELLE: Glitchy Glitchy Ya-Yas Here!

Posted on 22 March by Vernon
Not a PSD.  This is a production still from the latest sequel in “The Matrix” franchise.  Here we see three rogue “agents,” cleverly disguised as Swedish fashion models, in the act of dodging small arms fire as depicted through the iconic visual effect known as “bullet time.”  Neo lives!

How does this even happen?! Chime in, experts! Is this the fault of the GA, or a ‘hiccup’ during the printing process? Or perhaps the Q.C. person was distracted by their crazy footwear. Yeah, that must be it. The shoes.

Thanks Josefin. You can see the original in the Swedish version of Elle. View PSD

Helena Rubinstein: Demi is that you?

Posted on 21 March by Vernon
So on the right hand side we have Demi Moore and on the left?

I’m kind of speechless as to what they did to Demi in this shoot and why they even bothered taking any pictures if they were going to shop her to a state where she is unrecognizable .

The pictures originally came from a shoot for Helena Rubinstein’s latest beauty campaign. You can see more of the pictures from the shoot via BuzzFeed and DailyMail (originally found the disaster). 

Thanks Richard!

Bud Elita: Inflated Skills

Posted on 20 March by Vernon
Dmitri was so excited when he arrived for his first big photo shoot, he wolfed down two entire breakfast bars from the snack table, ruefully neglecting to first check the label for peanuts.

Eastern European symbolism is traditionally weird, so it’s anyone’s guess what the ‘white silhouette’ against the drab and dated building is supposed to represent.  And considering this billboard is actually marketing a technical college, I guess the modern high-rise on the left makes sense.  But how a pumped-up noggin four times normal scale makes anyone want to get within a hundred meters of that building is beyond me.

Thanks Michal.

NIEUW: Monstrous Mitt

Posted on 19 March by Vernon
Arr-arr-AROOOOO!!  Heh heh!  Hello, kids!  Count Floyd here with today’s Monster Chiller Horror Theater!  Hoo-boy, kids, have we got a scaaaary movie in store for you today.  It’s called “Dr. Tongue’s 3-D House of Gravy!”  Arr-arr-AROOOOO!!

There’s a lot of frightening things going on here.  I mean, exactly what about this layout makes you wanna eat this stuff?  First off, it appears to be so thick and adhesive that gravity can barely pull it out of a fully tilted gravy boat.  Yum!  Then it’s served up to us by some Clive Barker minion named Igor in a petri dish nestled gently between the fingers of a balrog.  The only thing missing from this graphic is a lightning bolt flashing in the background revealing the silhouette of a castle on the hill.

 Thanks Anne and everyone else who sent this in! You can find the original in the “Libelle” weekly magazine.

It has been a busy week in the world of Photoshop!  Here are some links that we’ve collected for your enlightenment… or, at least, for your entertainment.

  • Absolutely incredible works of Photoshop art by Asile.  A must-see:  [PSDTuts+]
  • Kim Kardashian with a beard… looks surprisingly realistic.  [BuzzFeed]

  • Apparently, cats have made incredible contributions to science.  Yeah, we were surprised, too.  [BuzzFeed]

  • Too many hands and fingers!  [Smosh]

Cool Shop: Mug Muff

Posted on 16 March by Vernon
None of the regulars at Rusty’s Café were happy with the new ‘no free refills’ policy, but Chester Meeks was the first to discover a loophole.

I do not know why this man needed to look as though he were holding a gigantic coffee cup.  I only know that whatever this man is holding, it is not a gigantic coffee cup.  Maybe he is giving somebody the finger.  Or perhaps demonstrating how he used to palm a spit ball when he played in the bush leagues.  Or maybe this guy is a former shop teacher who has Photoshopped his own personal fantasy of the various things he’d like to hold if he still had the fingers he foolishly severed on his table saw lo these many decades ago.

Thanks Lar. You can see the original on the Cool Shop website.

Vogue: Disembodied Disaster

Posted on 15 March by Vernon
Not a PSD. The ‘floating’ head is actually a goiter attached to the actual head of the woman to the right. An expert makeup artist and wig wrangler were brought in to disguise the hideous growth when no replacement model could be found.

Either this model is floating in the lotus position, or this is a PSD. I like a scenario where this girl is dating the GA, who promised he’d get her on the cover of Vogue somehow… and this was how.

Thanks to Cynthia and her daughter for the find. The original can be found in the latest version of Vogue Paris.

Daily Mail: Twin Trouble

Posted on 14 March by Vernon
Gerard had little trouble infiltrating the fashion show in his “photographer” disguise, and with the aid of his ultra-high tech hologram projector, (cleverly disguised as a camera), he was able to place himself right next to the ultimate object of his desire: the fetching and enigmatic Simone Dubois!

This isn’t just an oversight.  Real effort went into this disaster, for not only did the GA have to clone the photographer, but also had to flip him into a mirror image.  If the photo were framed larger, I have no doubt we’d find the same guy laying on the runway, getting even a third imaginary angle of this lackluster design.

Thanks to the dozens of people who sent this in. You can see the original on the Daily Mail site.
