The Olympics are always among the most talked about events in the world every four years, and with such attention comes an abundance of entertaining content from the masses.
Among them is the social media account "ArtButMakeItSports," which has amassed over 488,000 X followers, plus 175,000 followers on Instagram, since 2019 by taking pictures of athletes and finding similar art to mimic the picture. The account has made a killing in the first few days of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Among the most viral so far was a picture of United States gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik, who was shown preparing for the pommel horse with his eyes closed as he aimed to lock in for the event. The account then posted the painting, "Welders" by Ben Shahn, which looks shockingly similar to the picture of Nedoroscik.
The account also has a Substack, where they dive deeper into the process of finding art to match the sports photos. It can be a tedious process, as the account claims to not use artificial intelligence help.

Who runs ArtButMakeItSports account?

Rader gave The Athletic a sneak peek into his process in 2023, where, at the time, he said he would search through a folder of over 7,500 pieces of art on his phone to match with various sports photos.
Does ArtButMakeItSports use AI?
No, the account does not use AI for its content creation, as stated in its bio on X.
