Paintings Of Popular Internet Memes

Posted on by

This is a series of paintings inspired by internet memes. The artist responsible for the works of art internet is Lauren Kaelin. The artist responsible for the picture on the fridge is me. I can tell you’re impressed! Subjects of the meme paintings include Ermagerd girl, Zombie Jonathan, Ikea Monkey, the glorious Prancercise lady, and many more. But NO Bad Luck Brian. Which just seems appropriate. When an artist is does a series of paintings immortalizing the most popular memes on the internet, Bad Luck Brian will be overlooked. Of course!!!

Boring Thrift Store Paintings Get Jazzed Up With Monsters

Posted on by

You know those super boring landscape paintings you see at thrift stores and yard sales? You know, the kind that are so boring no one ever buys them? Well no one besides Chris McMahon and Thyrza Segal. Where most people saw crappy paintings, the artists saw half-blank canvases waiting to be completed. You see, the problem with the paintings were that the backgrounds were done, but the subjects were missing entirely. The subjects of course being horrifying monsters. Prints of the paintings are available on Chris’s deviantART account and Thyrza’s etsyaccount.

Amazing Paintings Made By Injecting Paint Into Bubble Wrap

Posted on by

You know how bubble wrap is basically impossible to resist popping? Seriously, popping all the bubble wrap has got to be the number one reason people get fired from shipping warehouses. (Okay, maybe number 2 after forklift races.) But you wouldn’t want to pop these sheets of bubble wrap because if you did you’d get covered in paint. Artist Bradley Hart injects paint into each bubble creating pointillism style artwork. After Hart injects the paint, some of it drips down the back, which he then removes and uses to create a second, drippy version of the original. The process sounds very elaborate and meticulous, but the most impressive part is that he doesn’t pop any bubbles.

Famous Paintings On High Heel Shoes

Posted on by

This is a collection of high heel shoes made to resemble famous paintings. The artist responsible for hand-painting the walking works of art is Boyarde Messenger (NOT to be confused with Chef Boyardee who’s responsible for making a delicious canned Beefaroni). The shoes are inspired by famous paintings of Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Roy Lichtenstein, and others. The concept itself was brought to us by Designer Charlotte Olympia for Neiman Marcus. Each pair in the series is Charlotte’s signature Dolly Pumps. Which… I can’t help but wonder, why didn’t they do a Salvador Dalí version? Dalí Dolly Pumps! C’mon, people would be all over that based on the name alone! I mean, not me of course, but that’s only because I don’t do heels. Can you imagine a potato strutting around in a pair of sky-high pumps? Exactly. You can’t! And just like a potato, I got bad balance. Plus we’re both a little lumpy.

Peanuts Painted Like Celebrities

Posted on by

Steve Casino is a guy who can take a regular, small town peanut and make it into a STAR. No he’s not some big-time Hollywood agent, he’s an artist who paints peanuts to look like famous people. He’s done The Addams Family, James Bond, Spider-Man & Doc Oc, Wonderwoman, the cast of Star Trek, and many more. Sooo many more. Steve says one day he was eating peanuts when he saw a peanut that looked like him. That’s what inspired him to start painting peanuts as people. At first I thought, man, this dude is a total nut (!!!) job. Annnnd then I saw him in this video. He totally looks like a peanut. Me? I look like a cross between a pistachio and a cashew.

Models Body Painted Into A Car Crash

Posted on by

This is not your typical car crash, guys. In fact, it isn’t a car crash at all! It just looks like a car crash. I know, I can hardly believe it myself. This is Body Crash, a pile of 17 bodybuilders, athletes  and acrobats posed as a car crash, painted and photographed by Emma Hack. It was created for an Australian road safety campaign. It’s kinda reminiscent of the motorcycle body painting we saw a few weeks ago. But this one’s got more visible boobies. And some butts for good measure! Does that make this one better? Is that even a question? Yes — whatever has more boobies and/or butts, always wins. It’s just the rules of the internet!

Painted Cats: Real Or Eye Trickery?

Posted on by

Here are some images from highly controversial book by Burton Silver and Heather Busch. It’s called Why Paint Cats. Yeah, I think the real question here is Why NOT Paint Cats? And that, I can answer — because they will murder you in your sleep. Hell, they’ll murder you when you’re wide awake, it doesn’t matter. What matters is, you’ll be dead. Dead with a painted cat. Shameful. The good news is, these particular cats aren’t really painted. They’re just photoshopped by Heather. The bad news is, people don’t read. They just look at the pictures and ignore the text that says “Jk y’all” and proceed to paint their own cat. And by “paint” I mean “have their eyeballs clawed out by.”

The book is available on Amazon.

Awesome Hand Paintings are the Handiwork of Two Very Handy People

Posted on by

Now here’s some awesome (and literal) hand art. Body painter Annie Ralli and photographer Ray Massey were commissioned by an insurance company to come up with images surrounding their tagline which went, “You’re in good hands.”

It took some mad photography and painting skills, but the duo managed to pull it off with their series of hand paintings that look out-of-this-world and realistically good.

You can check out more of their handiwork in the gallery below. You won’t be able to look at your hands in the same way afterwards, I tell you.
