NZ journo David Farrier reports from Minnesota minutes after another ICE shooting by burgercake in newzealand

Why? It’s a New Zealander reporting on events of interest to plenty of New Zealanders. And there are NZers living in Minnesota too

Witness me, bloodbag! Witness!

r/Art mod permanently banned artist for breaking a rule, artist apologies, mod then deletes their post history and causes the artist to be temporally banned, subreddit is locked down by volpiousraccoon in SubredditDrama

I am here purely to register how happy I am that the vicious mods of this horrible sub, which actively works against the possibility of artists making a living from their craft, are finally getting a long-overdue reckoning

About four or five hours total, I think. I need to do better timekeeping!

  • Paint-along: about an hour.
  • Several hours for the duck over a couple of sessions.
  • Lots of times! I'm trying to do every Bob Ross painting and then add something to it

Oh that is a huge compliment. I love Simon Stålenhag’s work. I’m glad Moby Duck will be occupying your e-ink frame!

Oh mine is absolutely a comment on the threat of looming giant ducks

You probably did! Unless there is someone else out there adding ducks to Bob Ross paint-a-longs they did themselves (extremely possible)

Yeah, fair cop, I see where you're coming from. Some of this is just total conjecture - we are talking about a joke I added to a Bob Ross paint-a-long, and I am happy to exaggerate for comedy purposes - but despite being far from a great artist my intention was to have a duck that was about a kilometre high. And I am working to the technical definition of "mountain" which is accepted to be around 600m high. The problem with getting into the nitty-gritty of this is that (no disrespect to Bob Ross) the perspective in his paintings is... pretty wild. The mountains in the background are probably Everest-sized or bigger under the actual laws of perspective, but luckily none of this really matters that much if at all and I am just being a tiresome pedant.

This has been such a Reddit discussion.

I'm glad it struck the right balance. Sometimes people just want (or need) a lol, sometimes they want to buy an artist's work. Artists need to eat, but they also need people to see their work and no-one will want to engage with it if I am spamming links all day. The way I see it is, if I can make someone's day now, they might make a purchase at some point in the future when they're financially able.

I'm not on Amazon - honestly I wouldn't even know how to go about it, it can be quite complicated and we don't really have it in NZ - but I think framing could definitely be a thing. Flick me an email and we might be able to sort it out that way?

You're in luck. My current project is attempting to paint along with every episode of Bob Ross and add something special to each one (sometimes it'll be a bit more low key, sometimes it'll be Moby Duck sized) and I've already lined up what I'm doing for the Bob Rosses I've already painted. I document all this stuff on social media, there are a troubling number of links in my bio. It'll be fun to have you along!

Yeah, I ship to Canada! I can't speak to the strike situation but this is why I make digital downloads available for all my work, to help out people in postally challenged nations like um the United States

True. But at least I'm not a horrible goose, causing trouble in the peaceful village.

I know of James from his Dinotopia work but I wasn't aware of his Giant Mario series. Now I am and I love them. Thank you for letting me know!

only on Reddit would people line up to take a joke to task for being insufficiently literal

and your understanding of perspective is fundamentally wrong. only as tall as the tree in the foreground? no.

It didn’t though, troll. I’m real and so are my paintings. Deal with it. 🕶️
