A parody of Edvard Munch's The Scream. This was done almost entirely in MyPaint - but it's still open source painting

Recognized it straight away. A brilliantly executed parody.

The original is what your person would be doing if they lost their phone

The Text is a good title for this piece.

Perhaps The Text Two could be one of a texting during driving with the person screaming?

Nice work Merrak.Thanks for sharing this artwork

It's funny how attached we get to them now. 30 years ago if you told someone you lost your phone, they'd probably look at you funny.

It's tempting to do more of these. Gary Larson had a whole series of them... but I don't think I could compete with Wiener Dog Art
