cockney rhyming - photoshop contest


Goal:

The theme for this contest is to convert a piece of cockney rhyming slang into an image. An example of cockney rhyming slang is, Jam Jar, meaning car, so you could make an image of a jam jar on wheels or perhaps strawberry tart, meaning heart or even Richard the third meaning....well, you get the idea. There are many sites on the internet that list the many variations of rhyming slang such as http://www.cockneyrhymingslang.co.uk/. So, pick one and make your image.
