The band is called Ubangi. You have to admit it's kinda catchy - in an 80's sort of way. Like the B-52's, Leno Lovich and Oingo Boingo (yeah that band with Danny Elfman in it).
It all started in the days before Photoshop. The 1970's. When all we had were an eraser, a felt tip pen and a Time magazine. The eyes were erased until they were a nova-like white. Next the
Don Martin hole-in-the-head and a little pen work to give it that three dimensional depth. Add a
Hernán Cortez moustache and goatee and presto
Farah Fawcett looks like....she does now except
with a cartoon hole in her head and a
Hernán Cortez moustache and goatee. Thirty years later we have the wonders of such programs like Photoshop which give us the luxury of manipulating an image beyond our wildest imagination. To this we are devoted. We are those kids with the erasers and pens thirty years ago only with a new venue. We no longer have to satisfy ourselves with leaving the magazine behind in the Dentist's office. We now have the world wide
internetwebtubethingy to post our artwork once reserved for fame on Mom and Dad's fridge (or in the men's room at the Mammoth Mart). This is a website devoted to the creative and/or humorous manipulation of personal, rare and unpublished photographs. Quality creations are invited to contribute. Some will be posted and some will not. All we ask is that you be creative and not obvious. So, show us what you've got! We'll be waiting.
All you need to do is send us an email at captainpandapants@gmail.com with a link to your creative artwork. If we like it we'll post it here.
