Thanks to programs like PhotoShop and GIMP, digital art and image manipulation is more prominent and popular than ever. Granted, there’s something to be said for old-school pens, pencils, ink, paints and so on. But you also can’t manipulate photos with those tools, either. Here are just 7 of the craziest images that are out there for your perusal as you travel the artistic superhighway of digital creation, and if you’re feeling inspired, go ahead and take up the digital canvas and your mouse — or stylus and tablet — and bring to life some of the funny and weird stuff that’s going on in your head.
7. Bird With Mouth
What if birds had mouths instead of beaks? Then perhaps instead of ordinary birdsong, they’d be serenading us every morning with, say, arias from “The Marriage of Figaro,” or “I Feel Pretty” from “West Side Story.” At least that’s the image you could have in your head if you’re a musician.

4. Human-Plant Hybrid – Artist Unknown
Whoever dreamt this up really knows how to weird people out. But then again, in Welsh mythology, there was a woman made of flower blossoms who ended up being turned into an owl, so maybe the artist took some inspiration from that. Either way, this picture is weird.

This has to be one of the craziest conglomerations of various spiritual ideas, complete with face-painted natives with snakes and a psychedelic UFO on top of a Mesoamerican pyramid. The artist may be unknown, but it makes you wonder if they’ve been partaking of psychedelics.
