I would say the frog look is an improvement....

It appears she may have kissed a frogprince. :) I thought it was supposed to work the other way?

Now let's see YOU in the metamorphosis.

It belongs in a penal colony.

Nope, it was a little gold-colored frog.
And remember, Ebbie, you didn't see me before she kissed me...:)

Amusing that the guy wants to charge $100 a pop to run a publically available software program which might have cost him all of $100 in the first place!

Well, Amos, maybe "the guy" knows full well he isn't going to rack up any big bucks with the idea, but is going for the chance that there might be someone here and there with more money than confidence in his own ability to pull off something like that for fun. And "the guy" knows he has to expect to put in a little time with photoshop, and a little with the morph program, to do one like that.
Then again, maybe "the guy" had done the morph for fun awhile back, his wife said "why don't you put that on your web site", and while he was at it he thought maybe he'd see if he could pick up a stray buck here and there.
Rest assured, anyhow, that "the guy" isn't taking the whole thing too seriously. :)

"Guy" appears to have done this all in a single print. While most people could montage a series of individual frames, the 12 x 28 inch format he claims is not something that most people can do on their home printers.

He does not indicate whether the prints offered are on "simulated canvas with hand applied brushstrokes" to emulate master paintings in the manner offered by bunches of poster shops - at prices comparable to his.

Actually, what the guy framed was a row of five prints; he was just thinking of a one-off to exhibit for fun at the time. But his printer would do it as one piece. If anyone ever actually bites for this, what they will get will be on Epson premium photo paper. No, not simulated master painting with brush strokes; but I betcha the poster shop doesn't put near the time and effort into doing one of those that putting one of these together took. :)
Then again, I could pick up some printer canvas, hit the brush-stroke filter button in photoshop, and let anybody have it that way for the price; but I hadn't thought of that style being really relevant to this kinda goof-off "art".

If I were to all victim to my own obsessions in the same way, it would be more apt to come out like this .
(But I'd say this would be more of a "ten bucks and shipping" level job).

If something isn't quite kitschy, is it tchatchkaesque?
