A Gallery of Emoji Paintings 

In the immortal words of C. Montgomery Burns, “I know what I hate. And I don’t hate this.”

Over at ImFineImFine.com, ND Stevenson has recreated masterpieces with emoji.

I cannot tell you how or why, but at some point a few years back I discovered that Instagram Stories not only allows you unlimited emojis, it ALSO allows you to enlarge them to an apparently infinite degree. Thus, a very strange new hobby was born. As far as I can tell, I am the inventor of this art form, since I am a genius and everyone else has a life.

Here, for instance, is a side-by-side of Grant Wood’s original “American Gothic” and ND Stevenson’s emoji “American Gothic”. See if you can tell which is which!

The original painting, and an emoji variant

Outstanding work. Don’t miss the commentary accompanying each piece in the gallery.
