Czech painter Jeremiah Palecek -- previously featured here for his oil paintings from classic video games -- is now painting oils of Internet Memes (pictured here: Dramatic Hamster Prairie Dog).

it's worth noting that the exclamation-prompting NSFW image at the bottom is a close-up, cropped shot of a classic painting “L’Origine du monde” from 1866 by courbet. still shocking - art FTW!
yipe, there's one NSFW painting near the bottom of the page. Heads up.
Interesting link, otherwise.
Dramatic Chipmunk*
Heheh.
And I thought it was Dramatic Guinea Pig!
The Dramatic Chipmunk is neither dramatic nor a chipmunk. Discuss...
It's Drama Prairie Dog.
And Techno Viking would make a nice stocking stuffer if anyone's feeling generous.
Yo! It's Dramatic Prairie Dog!
That link desperately needs a NSFW... you'll be hearing from my lawyers when I get kicked to the curb.
/My fault for Boing Boinging at work, but still...
My wife posted a photo of her painting of the Dramatic Prairie dog to her blog last summer:

Guess I need to be more proactive about pimping the Boing...
I'd like to point out Miltos Manetas as one of the early internet painters.
I also liked his videogames painting.
all of this dates back to 2001/2

I misread.
So I'm thinking... Steven Colbert painted a vagina?????
If nothing else, this entry led me to the awesomeness that is Techno Viking. What a hero!
So. . . it used to be said "art imitates life". . . now what exactly do we call THIS?
Anyway, the groundhog/whistlepig/prairie dog one is quite nice.
I'd buy a painting of Looooooooooooooooooongcat.
Pedobear please
Wait a minute! Where are the REAL memes?
Where's nutsack squirrel?
Paint huffer dude?
Mustard Guy?
Hyakugojyyuichi?

Not only is Techno Viking a hero, but his painting is amazing.
