This week, my firstborn asked me to teach him photoshop, which means we now have a lot of famous paintings with search and rescue vehicles added to them. [Twitter thread]

Death of Icarus seems like a logical place to add some search-and-rescue.

Ha, adamrice, that's exactly the one I was looking for, too. I wonder if they'd do sculptures as well? Because poor ol' Laocoön and sons could really use some help from animal control.

Thanks, Bloxworth Snout - this was really fun to start the day with!

Came looking for Washington Crossing the Delaware. Was not disappointed.

Nice! Although I am skeptical that anyone requesting to learn Photoshop within the last week would be capable of the results shown.

They're often very subtle, which is really delightful.

+1 for that defibrillator. Threadreader spool has larger images.
