For this project, I wound up taking American Gothic and editing out the pitchfork in the man's hand to replace it with a selfie stick and iPhone, which they are using to take a selfie. I titled the project American Profpic, where "profpic" is a slang term for profile picture like on Facebook. The process to create the photo was relatively simple: I edited out the pitchfork by coloring over it using colors grabbed from just around it (like on the farmer's clothes for example). I duplicated the pitchfork-less American Gothic and applied several filters to it to use for the selfie on the iPhone. Then I found a stock photo of a selfie stick with an iPhone attached and placed it where the pitchfork was, attempting to distort the colors to make it match the original painting more closely.
