Tweet ARTistS #TARTS

Pre-historic cave wall artists etched

With rustic tools yet left their mark:

Stone stained Bison hunting stark

Early human habits rudely sketched.

Though computers and the internet

Are universes away from ancient caves

Twitter artists, current faves and raves,

Are new stone age with tweet tool set.

There’s something neo-paleolithic:

Twitter art at one hundred forty spaces

Iconic and primal, it interlaces

Images and symbols basic and mythic.

Follow the #TARTS with aesthetic glee:

This is another online #newart spree.

 #twitterart #tarts (Tweet ARTistS) are a growing art sub-genre. The styles and content are as various as the personalities of the tweeters: from stark, philosophical minimalism to cute-message kitsch, they are all produced within the confines of 140 characters and what signs & symbols twitter will accept.  

This list is of #twitterartists I’ve been able to identify up to now, 3/30/2010.  

@Om_Sun (Larry Carlson) states in his bio "Visionary artist. Surreal mind-boggling adventures. Amazing digital, video, web and text-art. The original inventor of #TwitterArt! やあ Olá 喂 Hola 안녕 привет "

I’ll be glad to add names and examples as new ones are sent to me.
