A new from the old images

You want to create a new image from an old one. That's a fascinating task!

To clarify, you want to:

1. Take an old image (e.g., a photo, illustration, or artwork)
2. Modify it in some way to create a new image
3. Use the modified image as the basis for a new creation

Is that correct? If so, what kind of modifications are you thinking of? Do you have any specific ideas or styles in mind?
