I just saw a full episode of his show. The fuck? I’m not a painter but I’ve seen my mom paint all my life.

This motherfucker just did in 15 minutes what would take her weeks. Like???

And he did it while talking, in clean fucking strokes. So fucking fast. I saw a literal masterpiece being created in fifteen minutes from nothing. From nothing. It was a blank fucking canvas, man.

I knew of Bob Ross, but I’d never actually seen him paint. Goddamn. How did actual artists react to him? Like, how do you not feel just thoroughly outclassed.

All while this mofo is saying how easy all that he’s doing is while I know for a fact how hard it is. Like, is he just gaslighting everyone?

    I might argue yes (in a way).

    They are forms of expression ASMR using audio and visuals to form a unique experience. Maybe not a mukbang… not too familiar with that. I would clarify that ASMR may be a medium of artistic expression.

    In a similar way, personifying animals in furry art can be a genre or medium, and I still wouldn’t call MS Paint Sonic Inflation Pornography “high art”.

    Those are just my thoughts. I’m wary of gatekeeping artistic expression, and think “cringe” things are necessary for artistic expression to bloom. But maybe that’s just from my own experiences of learning how to draw, and making a lot of “bad” drawings in the process.

      I guess I’ll just have to hang onto all my challenging outsider art the next time you need to knock a million off your tax bill, then, philistine.
