CREATIVE EXPRESSION: An artist has used the emoji.ink site to depict Kim Kardashian with emoji icons.

Emojis were one of the biggest online trends last year, and just weeks into 2015 the little fellas have been given a fun new outlet.

A new site called emoji.ink launched recently, offering the chance to paint and create your own images entirely from emoji icons, and artist Yung Jake has already attempted to break the Internet by using the site to create a portrait of Kim Kardashian.

The creative has also been posting emoji artworks of other celebs such as Wiz Khalifa and Larry David to his Twitter profile.

Covering all the necessary categories of fruit, animals, hearts, fast food, music, sports, transport and horoscope symbols, among others, the site emoji.ink offers a total of 846 icons to play with.

You can use the images as prints or drag the icons to "paint" and create depth, and each image can be saved at any time.

A Tumblr site showing off some of the Internet's most creative responses to the site has already been launched and can be seen here

So could this be the start of a trend for emoji art? Watch this (not blank for long) space...— AFP/RelaxNews
