North Carolina artist Kate Kretz is garnering lots of attention with her portrait of Angelina Jolie as the Virgin Mary. She was inspired to do the painting because of the public obsession with celebrity, according to Art Daily.

The painting "Blessed Art Thou" is currently on display at the Art Miami 2007 exhibit, in Miami FL.

Worth1000.com Photoshop Contest -- Art Advertising

I love Worth1000.com, especially when the photoshop contests involve fine art. This contest has some awesome entries, especially the really believeable "McDavid" and cool Michelangelo Nokia ad. Perhaps the most creative entry is the M.C. Escher Adidas ad.
