The Internet is full of both artists and "artists" but it's rare to come across someone as ironic and pure at the same time as Tw1tter Picasso a.k.a. Ballpoint Papi—the alter ego of an American man named Kevin Park.

He creates ballpoint celebrity portraits and they are terrible. And the illustrations are so bad, they are actually good. The purposefully grotesque caricatures are full of small details inspired by the subjects' tattoos, clothing, and body shape, offering a hilariously accurate take on some of the most famous people in the entertainment industry.

Tw1tter Picasso started by drawing anyone on Twitter who sent him $3 on PayPal but in the past couple of years, his following has ballooned and extended to Instagram. Now he has a combined following of 272,000 over the two platforms and draws everyone from Post Malone to Cardi B.

Continue scrolling to take a look at some of his newest works and check out his earlier ones in Bored Panda's earlier article here.

"Growing up I was always into art, whether it's drawing, playing instruments (I can play the saxophone), or making music," Tw1tter Picasso told Bored Panda. "I felt that it was a good way to express myself and keep myself busy when I was bored."

Tw1tter Picasso started drawing people for fun, whether it was his friends, teachers in class, or celebrities. But when he started posting his works on Twitter, he realized other people liked what he did. So he just kept doing it. And the rest was history.

"Honestly, art is subjective. To whoever, art can be horrible in one person's eyes yet cool to another. For me, as long as my portraits make people laugh, it's a good drawing," he explained.

    The artist's subjects also notice his portraits. Canadian singer The Weeknd, for example, recently even changed his Instagram profile picture to a 3-year-old sketch of him by Tw1tter Picasso, sparking a lot of Twitter chatter in the process too.

    "I think some of my drawings get ... traction [when] other pages start posting them enough, and celebs eventually stumble upon them. When they see the drawings and DM me back, it's always funny to hear them laugh at the stuff I drew. I think they know that in the end, it's all outta love."
