This April Fools' Day, ditch the whoopee cushions and prank your expectations instead—with some wildly wonky, art-tastic portraits! 😂 Post your masterpieces with #PabloArtmobile and show us what you see (even if your pencil didn't). 🖍️🎉 #NoPeekingPortraits #AprilFoolsArt #PabloCenter #ArtmobileMagic
