Photo editing apps are a guilty pleasure of mine. I collect them. I use them for a while, then I move on to the next one, and so on.
I have a new favorite: Pikazo. It's cool because it does things a bit differently. You give it a picture image and a style image, and it runs them through google's Deep Dream algorithms to generate something that is a combination of them both. The gallery below will show you what I mean.
Perhaps a bit egotistical to use me as the common reference, but it's my blog ;)
All of the default style icons show a rendering of the Mona Lisa, but the original for this one has to be a Klimt.
You aren't limited to artists.
...maybe Lucien freud?

Maybe. Regardless, I think this one is the best for this particular source material.
...but the end result looks more like a weird Dali.
You can load in any picture you want as a style guide. This one came from a certain closeup of a certain part of a certain painting.
