Lady Agnue Bean by John Singer Sargent

Mr Bean strikes again this time with another defiled John Singer Sargent masterpiece called "Lady Agnue". These silly manipulations by Rowan Atkinson's "Mr Bean" character started off as a joke years ago with several Photoshop contest entries at the site formally known as FreakingNews. His timeless funny expressions are always a source of great material for manipulations. His face has been used in funny situations countless times around the world and continue to amuse people. In fact, he has been so popular in my work that I've revived the concept and am turning out new Mr Bean images like the one here. It's a fun way to brush up on Photoshop skills and relax after a day's work. As long as people keep requesting him in my work, I'll continue to deliver. More to come in the near future. I hope you enjoy!

Donald Trump - A Caricature Study

Here's one for my Republican friends. A caricature study of Donald Trump. I know, I was easy on him. Don't worry Democrats, there's plenty of material out there and plenty of time. You'll get yours very soon I'm sure. Not pleased with the outcome here but it was just for practice. Some good stuff on the way. Stay tuned!!

Madame X - The Scandal with Mr Bean

I'm sure most art enthusiasts are familiar with John Singer Sargent's famous portrait of Madame X but how many know the story behind the painting? Many refer to the portrait as "Madame X, "The Scandal". I've put a bit of my own twist to the story and the painting with Mr. Bean as the subject and the famous shoulder strap loose as Sargent originally painted it.

Sargent's original painting of Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau was called “Portrait de Mme” and depicted the subject with a loose shoulder strap causing a scandal. The mother of the subject insisted that Sargent remove the painting but he refused, later painting over the shoulder strap, making it appear more secure and changed the name to Madame X to try and preserve the sitter’s anonymity.

Lady Bean 2017

It's been a while since I made a post here. There has been a lot going on in my life and I had to set my art aside for a while. I'm back at it again and my for first post in quite a some time, I give you by popular demand, another Mr Bean manipulation. This one is called Lady Bean depicting Rowan Atkinson superimposed in a portrait painting of Mary Stone by Michael Shane Neal. I am currently working on several new commissions and will be posting new work on a more regular basis now. If you're interested in any of my new work or older images, please contact me at rodneywpike@gmail.com. I hope you enjoy!!

Mona Lisa highjacked by Mr Bean

Mona Lisa highjacked by Mr Bean! I'm not exactly sure why this crazy photo-manipulation of Mr Bean as Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa has been so incredibly popular but it has and I've had many requests to reproduce it at high resolution so I have. I now have available this classic at a poster size of 24" X 36" @ 350 DPI. If you're interested in owning a copy, please contact me at rodneywpike@gmail.com.
