Some Very Twisted MS Paint Drawings

MS Paint has been through a roller coaster of insults and praise. It started off as everyone’s go-to image editing and drawing program, and then quickly became a joke as more advanced art programs released. Then, because this is what tends to happens to things, as its competition became so much more advanced, people began going back to the old workhorse, championing its simplicity while seeing how far they can push its limited features. In that vein, these MS Paint drawings that redditor TheLittleClayroo found on his computer that were created by his friend seven years ago are something to behold, not only because they were created solely in MS Paint, but because they are absolutely insane.

Artist Makes Life-Size Mummy Out of McDonald’s Food

Texan artist Ben Campbell had around 200 bucks and did what any artist would do: Spend it all on McDonald’s, then use the food to create a life-size mummy. Don’t worry, though, Campbell isn’t entirely crazy; he’s been working on an art show with the focus of relating ancient Egyptian society to modern day society, and his McDonald’s mummy is simply a part of the show. It’s not like he was lacking in the friends department and decided to make one out of fast food, probably.

Legal Documents are for Squares, Try a Facebook ID Card

Facebook is huge, and getting bigger by the day. What’s more, its tendrils have begun to find their way into everyday life with some websites using Facebook Connect for users to login, and even using the social network to serve court summons. More and more it’s getting hard to stay away from Facebook and its somewhat odious terms of service. German Internet artist Tobias Leingruber is keenly aware of Facebook’s omnipresence, which is why he went ahead and made himself a Facebook ID card. And he’ll make you one, too.

An Extremely Intricate Castle in a Bonsai Tree

Japanese artist Takanori Aiba takes bonsai trees to a whole new level by infusing one with an extremely intricate castle. Aiba employed the use of copper line, epoxy putty, plastic, resin, and stone clay. Aiba has a background in maze designing, as well as a background in directing architectural spaces, so he put both of those skills to use and created the lovely castle in a bonsai tree you see above, dubbed Bonsai-B. Check out another picture of the work encased in a tasteful display after the break.

Check Out This Fractal Art Made by Blasting Plastic With a Particle Accelerator

There are plenty of ways to create art. You can draw, you can paint, you can write, or you can rent time at a particle accelerator and fire supercharged electrons into acrylic slabs and then hit the slabs with a hammer so the electrons scald fractal patterns into the slab as they escape. I lean towards writing, but man, that particle accelerator thing sounds cool too. That particular medium is Todd Johnson‘s chosen specialty and he calls the results by the awesome name of Shockfossils.

The Incredible Hulk on the Toilet in a Mall, for Art

Supposedly seen in a mall in Seoul, Korea by redditor TheMistah, this is a statue of the Incredible Hulk doing his business. As one can see, he does his business with force. The statue exists in the name of art, which is why most things that are crazy seem to exist. If you thought you were being clever by immediately thinking to make the pun, “Hulk splash,” you can bet that everyone else who saw this picture felt the same way at first.

Guy Fingerpaints Impressive Landscapes Faster Than You Can Put Paint On Your Fingers

Artist Fabian Gaete Maureira brings fingerpainting to a whole new level, in that he can paint an entire Bob Ross style landscape scene in about a minute, only using a finger or two. For those unfamiliar with Bob Ross, the style can be describe as stabbing and smacking a canvas with a brush, but in such a way where it looks like leaves and water. Check out Maureira’s work over on his blog, and head on past the break to check out the mind-blowing video.

The Obliteration Room: A Plain White Room, Destroyed With Colored Stickers

For an installation in the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art, artist Yayoi Kusama constructed a room that resembled a regular, domestic environment — complete with dining table, cabinets, ceiling lights, and so forth — colored entirely in white. Sound boring? “A plain white room,” isn’t exactly the pinnacle of excitement, but don’t count Kusama out just yet, as over the course of two weeks, visitors to the museum were handed loads of colored dot stickers, and told to do what they wish to the white room. As one can imagine, the room became very colorful. The transformation from boring white room to explosion of color, after the break.
