Internet meme-based oil paintings

March 20th 2008 04:40
Jeremiah Palecek is a Czech painter that stumbled onto an interesting idea: he'd make oil paintings based on stupidly popular internet memes, like the Dramatic Hamster.

Check out his paintings here!

For example, remember the Mentos and Diet Coke thing? Just in case it's slipped your mind, here's the video:




In case you want to be reminded of that, night and day, buy his painting and frame it over your bed (if you're bedridden!)

Diet Coke and Mentos


It's a fantastic idea, though the actual paintings come up a little short on wow-factor. He sells a few of them, including the Bert is Evil painting, which is just creepy enough to make its way into a college Halloween party.
