The on-camera crew of NBC's Today Show, Matt Lauer, Meredith Veiria, Al Roker and Ann Curry, were invited to a classical paintings class, which included teaching them to paint models without clothes.
The paintings created by the NBC crew are now available on eBay, with all the proceeds going to benefit the Feeding America charity.
The first picture is by Matt Lauer; let's discuss the Freudian aspects of his male figure.
Implications - While these pieces of artwork aren't done by a professional artist, consumers will embrace them for their sentimental value as well as their positive contribution to charity. These are definitely some rad ads.
