Surreality show


You thought Google art was when leprechauns are drawn into the logo on St Patrick's Day, right?  Well, yes, but in addition, Jeremiah Palecek is an artist who has used Google stuff quite a bit to inspire his work.

Last year he created a gallery of images by using a Czech to English dictionary, Google Images and dice.  Yeah, like we haven't all seen that a million times.

More recently he has created two YouTube-centric projects.  In the first, he creates pop surrealism paintings of famous YouTube moments.  Like the not-at-all-to-be-laughed-at Tom Cruise Scientology video:















Or the splurgetastic: Coke-mentos thing:



















Secondly, he has a YouTube channel (called Pothead Pundit) where he invites people to tell him what to paint.  Here are some of the results:



We like him on this blog.  He can come again.
