Global News
From a simple tire change to a viral photoshop sensation, Premier Wab Kinew's suit-and-tie, Good Samaritan photo has been repurposed into a collection of hilarious memes.
From a simple tire change to a viral photoshop sensation, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew’s suit-and-tie roadside picture has been repurposed into a collection of hilarious memes posted to various online accounts.
As part of an outlandish new meme trend, Kinew has been edited into different situations ranging from milking cows to picking berries to pulling bannock from an oven.
Cree artist Heather Stewart responded quickly to the trend and put her own spin on it.
Stewart intricately beaded Kinew’s silhouette in his same pose from the viral photo, adding a wrench in his hand.
Once she saw all the memes emerging on social media, she just knew that was an image she had to bead.
She uploaded a photo of her design to Instagram on Thursday and it’s already garnering a lot of attention. As of Friday, she’s received over 4,600 likes and 110 comments from other Instagram users.
“I really stay on top of what is popular on social media and when something important or funny is happening within the native community, I try to be the first person to bead it,” Stewart explained.
Stewart specializes in beadwork and sells her creations through her company called Sweetgrass Beads on Etsy.
