13 Times Artists On Tumblr Were The Best Thing That Happened To The Internet

ADVERTISEMENT

What are your expectations when you post something on the internet? Perhaps you’ll get a few likes, some comments of agreement or approval. If you’re really lucky you could spark an interesting discussion that lots of people take part in and get something out of.

However, nothing beats watching your thread take on a life of its own and get hijacked by funny and creative people. With its easily-customizable format, niche communities and reputation for self-expression Tumblr has a strong following among artsy types, meaning you never know when you are about to be ambushed by something cool. Below is a list of times when Tumblr users surprised everyone with their creativity, and we think you’ll agree that they make the internet a much better place! Scroll down below to see them for yourself, and vote for your faves!

The fluffy weredog, dinosaurs discussing the stars and the one with the little blue guy made me laugh pretty hard. The last one with the dog and horse was adorable.

There's another one with the tiny werewolf that I liked better, where someone says "what if he's the alpha" and then there's a picture of the tiny dog leading a pack of giant wolves.

This artwork is more soil than 2 gallons of soggy breastmilk. And when I say that I mean that sincerely.
