Warholizing Old Jacques
Found this great website that converts an ordinary digital picture into an Andy Warhol-style poster. Andy Warhol was the central figure of what we now know as the Pop Art Movement.
According to Wikipedia; He switched to silkscreen prints, which he produced serially, seeking not only to make art of mass-produced items but to mass produce the art itself. 
In declaring that he wanted to be “a machine”, and in minimizing the role of his own hand in the production of his work, Warhol sparked a revolution in art; his work quickly became very controversial — and popular. One of his more recognizable illustrations is that of a portrait of the late Marilyn Monroe.
Back to the Warholizer site; all you have to do is upload a digital picture and after waiting for a short while you get your Warhol Poster. I tried it by submitting an old illustration of Jacques DeMolay, and the picture shown here is what I got.
Try it, it’s hip and fun. Click here to go to the site.
It was New Year’s Eve and the snowclad streets were deserted. From brightly lit windows came the tinkle of laughter and the sound of singing. People were getting ready to bring in the New Year. But the poor little matchseller sat sadly beside the fountain. Her ragged dress and worn shawl did not keep out the cold and she tried to keep her bare feet from touching the frozen ground. She hadn’t sold one box of matches all day and she was frightened to go home, for her father would certainly be angry. It wouldn’t be much warmer anyway, in the draughty attic that was her home. The little girl’s fingers were stiff with cold. If only she could light a match! But what would her father say at such a waste! Falteringly she took out a match and lit it. What a nice warm flame! The little matchseller cupped her hand over it, and as she did so, she magically saw in its light a big brightly burning stove.
