Parker Ito | The Most Infamous Girl in the History of the Internet
If you’ve ever mistyped a URL, then you know this girl, a virtual stock photography celebrity. The artist, Parker Ito, isn’t the artist in the sense that he put brush to canvas for this piece, but he’s the artist in a much more “high-concept” way… He claims to have plans to commission paintings of “The Most Infamous Girl in the History of the Internet” by 100 different painters (mostly from Asia) on Etsy and/or eBay. Sounds like it would make for a very interesting exhibition, having all 100 paintings in a gallery space at once… I like it.

These gross, melting faces remind me of Francis Bacon. Seriously, though, they’re really gross. Ugh.

Maybe it’s just because I lack any training in the arts, but I am always super impressed by realistic lighting in paintings, especially by convincing depictions of fire and whatnot. These paintings capture the glow of various incendiaries wonderfully, and it’s worth clicking through and checking out the rest of them.
