Ed Ruscha Online features digital art made to mimic the Los Angeles-based artist's famous word paintings. The art on the blog uses words that apply to our current social media lives, including terms like "reblog" and "the cloud" and popular acronyms like "YOLO" and "DGAF." The Tumblr art also imitates the nature scenes and abstract backgrounds that Ruscha used in his paintings. The artist was recently named one of the "Most Influential People in the World" by TIME Magazine so it's no surprise that there is an entire blog inspired by his art.
