Famous Art, Simpsonized

By Meowza Katz on January 20, 2009 | 102 comments

As we all know, when Matt Groening developed the Simpsons, art critics everywhere hailed his new style as the pinnacle of humanity's artistic achievement. So great was Groening, that other art styles needed to be redone to conform with His superior vision.

So, I decided to draw a whole gallery of images created in Aviary's Phoenix, showing what famous works of art would look like had they been created by Matt Groening.


Edvard Munch's The Scream - open the layered file!


Norman Rockwell's Triple Self Portrait - open the layered file!


Grant Woods' American Gothic - open the layered file!


Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe - open the layered file!


Vincent Van Gogh's Self Portrait - open the layered file!


Johannes Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring - open the layered file!


Leonardo Da Vinci's Self-Portrait - open the layered file!



The preceding images were created in Aviary, a suite of powerful creative applications that you can use right in your web browser.

Matt Groening should be copying your style!

Wow those are awesome, love that you supplied the layered file as well to mess around with. Excellent work!

Hey, where is the Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali?

Posted by Bartman on 2009-01-21 09:21:50

I am, of course, mildly disappointed I'm not represented, but that is only a minor undertone in the overall oarsomeness of these renderizationings. My mewzer love continues to grow unabated.

Absolutely stunning. You're my new hero.

These are great - I was eagerly awaiting the Mona Lisa!

Posted by Alan Smithee on 2009-01-22 08:47:38

Excellent -- not merely clever ideas, but brilliantly rendered

Divertente !

Posted by kompakter on 2009-01-22 19:52:54

You do know Matt Groening already did this, right? Search for the 1995 Simpsons Fun Calendar.

Those are the best pictures of all times. Bravo!

who doesn't love simpsonized art? That's so great. The show itself is art. I love its mocking nature.

Love the art!!!

too bad it's the lesser paintings you took

Vivan los simpsons
The simpsons are the best

Posted by M from B, B on 2009-01-24 13:22:51

I tried to post it, but it's not coming through. Probably to block link spammers on this blog (and with good reason) But I can do it another way I think: The newspaper is called de Standaard, so that is also the name of the site, with .be as extension. And they put a link to this blog in the 'En nu even ernstig' devision of the site. Translated 'and now for something serious'.

Brilliant Genius Amazing....BULLs**t! It's moronic crap. The rule of mediocracy surges unabated because of you idiocrats. Vote for Bush again asap, start another war, don't care, watch more tv, play more video games, don't read any books, do as Homer does because he is you and you are him...Get it?

Meowza's talent is undeniable, but is Webtop software REALLY going to catch on? I am awed by the amount of work, and the spirit of universal access this upcoming generation of "Webtop" based software implies. However, i am not at all convinced that the great general public will really buy into it. As good as it is: 1. will it allow graphics tablets? 2. Will it access keyboard shortcuts? Finally, i fear that it is NOT in human nature to use software at a remote site. It seems obvious to me that everyone would prefer to own their software. It also raises questions of security, when creating corporate work. I am sorry, but i feel the whole Webtop idea is just a developer's fantsy, something for developers to er, develop, thus providing work. I realise that many BIG corporations, including Google & even Microtosh are 'committed' to the webtop philosophy, but i'd put money on it all fizzling out, like betamax and like DAB radio. At best it will provide tasters for new generations of artists, but those who find it cool and awesome (like they do) will then rush out and buy photoshop, or download GIMP or Inkscape. But Meowza is a talented son of a gun, no mistake.

Excellent collections with great links i am really thankfull to you

Posted by Ashley Adams : Postcard Printing on 2009-08-27 03:04:23

Hey Meowza, These are amusing but nor particularly enriching.. I believe that these are enjoyable in their original forms only.. except for Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe which suits the "Simpsoning" to a certain extent, others are quite disturbing with their clash of styles.. I would particularly like to mention that Vincent Van Gogh's Self Portrait reflects the clash of styles the most with the backdrop of brush strokes being used with the cartoon style of the figure.. These might be even offensive to serious art lovers and could suffice for wacky tee shirts only.. :-(
