CelebARTy

What is it with celebrities? Aren’t they satisfied with our adoration, obsessions and money that should have been spent elsewhere? Some of them have artistic ambitions beyond their films and music.

Pop Life Art
has a huge list of celebs (actors, singers, musicians, athletes, etc.) that create fine art paintings, drawings and photographs on top of their day jobs. Below are paintings from Johnny Depp, Lucy Liu, David Bowie, Viggo Mortensen, Natalie Merchant and Pierce Brosnan, but not in that order. Care to take a stab at gussing who's who? The prize is, umm, you're a really good guesser.

  3. It is kinda tough, isn't it? Without my Teacher's Editon I'd have no idea either.

    OK, phibesbee, you got Brosnan correct but not the others.

    marina, you got Natalie Merchant, but missed the other five.

    Who's next?

  8. I would like to thank the Academy, my folks, and all the people who gave correct answers before me, making my guesswork easier. Without them I would have gotten zero.

    What's the next contest?

  9. I only really got the Viggo one right, but I wasn't sure about the rest. Thanks for sharing. I really like your site.

  10. So, um, my bad. It appears that I was so impressed with myself for putting numbers on pictures I accidently labeled them incorrectly. Here are the actual answers, provided by Lorrie at Poplifeart.com:

    1. Pierce Brosnan
    2. David Bowie
    3. Natalie Merchant
    4. Johnny Depp
    5. Viggo Mortensen
    6. Lucy Liu

    So my apologies - I really shouldn't be running contests.
