MIST1121/NICK_LAKOWSKI-YOU_CAN_RUN_BUT

 


Mistigram: KnowYourMeme.com tells us that the #ChubbyBubblesGirl image macro has been with us since debuting on 4chan back in 2009 -- a veritable epoch in Internet time -- but though she has run from many a dire Photoshop scenario, I don't know if she's ever before fled from an unruly glob of paint. (That said, it was only a matter of time before she spoiled some painter's canvas! @niklkovfska simply had the honour of being among the first to capture her feverish little footprints running across his palette.) This painting was included in the recent MIST1121 artpack collection on themes of technology and internet culture.
