The name of the program for processing and editing images Photoshop has become a household name in our time. Any suspicion that the photo shows something fake, tweaked, is immediately explained by the use of this program. But working with Photoshop can be not only a process of eliminating imperfections, but also a real art. An example of this is the collective creativity of the Flickr community. Combo-pictures.
Computers and their software capabilities have replaced ink, paints, ink, pencils, and other similar creative tools for most artists in the past two decades. And this gives them special opportunities that many generations of their predecessors could not have dreamed of. And the special opportunities put forward to the artists and special requirements.
If you already call yourself a digital artist, then be more talented than traditional artists, more creative than them, have a good sense of humor. Here are the special requirements for the latter. The art of Photoshop most often translates into the ability to create a fun, but at the same time talented picture. Examples of this are the work of Dan Escobar or Sven Prim.
The same is done by a group of American digital artists who work under the collective pseudonym Combo-pictures, which has an account of the same name on the Flickr website.
The guys at Combo-pictures take the very best from Photoshop. They talentedly use many of its possibilities in order to create their digital paintings. And in this there is no limit to their imagination. They take famous photographs, famous paintings, images and transform them so that they become completely new works of art.
And Combo-pictures turns out to be very talented and funny. For example, the fight of Muhammad Ali is depicted as a duel in the style of eight-bit consoles, the image of the Egyptian pyramids is combined with the image of a pyramid with an eye from a dollar bill, Napoleon sits not on a horse, but on a scooter.
In general, there is something to smile at, there is something to see, there is something to think about.

Even the colored paintings of this artist are thoroughly saturated with an autumn-rainy mood
