I started with Van Gogh's Starry Night and added a house from another painting (I forget the artist) to hide the 'black thing'. This was more difficult than it should have been because the artist created edges by painting a thin lightly colored line followed by a thin darkly colored line. This dark line always created a stronger contrast than the other edges, so the scissors followed this edge rather than the artist's intended edge.Using Adobe, I modified the color contrasts to better match that of Van Gogh's. I then added the guy from Munch's Scream and finally the space needle in the back ground (with slight color modifications as necessary).
Here are the original images and the masks used.
