Help modify an image for the cover of a physics book

A physics professor wants to distorte/mutilate this clock face image in a really cool way, for the cover of a book. He is soliciting help from CS students at my school, so I figured I'd share it on here. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/Zytglogge_clockface_detail.jpg He's offering to pay $50/hr for the winning submission, but that time includes working with him to make some adjustments if he wants them. But presumably, you'd get your modified image on the cover of a physics book, which is better than the money. P.S. The cover is due this week, which is why the prof is desperately seeking student help. Addendum: For the record, I did not ask the professor if I could seek submissions from Hacker News, but I would presume it doesn't matter where they come from. Also, this is not an explicit promise than anybody on here will get paid anything; it's just relying on trust. If people could just post links to their submissions in the comments, that would be ideal.
