23 year old New York-based artist Sam Spratt combines his classical art training with contemporary inspirations, oftentimes originating from online media and internet memes.

“The Art of Internet Memes” is a fun collection of illustrations that were inspired by what he calls the visual vernacular of web 2.0. The collection re-imagines a variety of popular internet memes with classical fine art sensibilities. Spratt has brought life to these internet characters be recreating them in three dimensional form. See more from the collection on his website here.
