Electric Dreams

Dive into the bizarre and brilliant world of Jim'll Paint It with "Electric Dreams," a curated collection of the artist's most imaginative and hilarious MS Paint creations. This hardcover edition, published by Faber & Faber in 2014, brings to life the viral sensations and previously unseen masterpieces that have captivated the internet. Jim'll Paint It, a mysterious digital artist whose identity remains largely unknown, rose to fame through his wildly popular Tumblr and Facebook pages. His premise is simple yet endlessly entertaining: submit a request, no matter how outlandish, and if it piques his interest, he'll render it in the gloriously pixelated medium of MS Paint. The result is a surreal and often satirical commentary on pop culture, history, and the absurdities of everyday life. "Electric Dreams" showcases the breadth of Jim'll Paint It's artistic vision, from the epic clash of Brian Blessed against a polar bear to the darkly humorous depiction of Mary and Joseph's holiday woes at the hands of Lenny Henry. Remember the internet-breaking image of Vladimir Putin reimagined as the entire Village People ensemble? That's here too, alongside a host of other equally unforgettable images. Beyond the existing online catalog, this collection boasts a selection of exclusive, never-before-seen paintings, offering fans a deeper dive into the artist's peculiar and prolific output. Each image is a testament to the power of imagination and the unexpected artistry that can be found in the most humble of digital tools. "Electric Dreams" is more than just a collection of internet memes; it's a fascinating exploration of contemporary culture, filtered through the unique lens of Jim'll Paint It's singular artistic sensibility. It's a perfect gift for art enthusiasts, humor aficionados, and anyone who appreciates the power of creativity to transform the mundane into the extraordinary. This "Main" edition features 216 pages packed with visual delights, making it a substantial and satisfying addition to any coffee table or art book collection. Prepare to be amazed, amused, and perhaps slightly disturbed by the wonderfully weird world of Jim'll Paint It. Explore art, humour, history, and pop culture through a pixelated perspective unlike any other.
