when you're painting and building material color by mixing colors you're working your way towards blekk
>shut up, nigger. when you turn off the lights, you're seeing nothing, not black.
yes
>you can't mix colors to make white
thats true tho.
>the basis for this argument implies color didn't exist before paint was invented
did it exist before we labeled it? Does it have to be categorized or isolated before it's a thing?

Do numbers exist? What even are magnets?

>You are the artist here.
(You) are the subject.
> I'm telling you I am willing to listen to your thoughts, but you are unable to explain your ideas.
Yeah like I think in a dialogue. I need things to respond to like build an argument about it.

Like time is entropy. Entropy is waste. All art is waste. Internet memes are super waste. It's all garbage and none of it matters. The point is to use this as a roundabout way to motivate yourself to just make stuff without giving a shit.

And then with How to Wabi Sabi, that ties right into it. The whole "time is a flat circle" thing is super reflective of eastern and buddhist philosophy. Their entire appreciation of the world is much more about reflecting on the passage of time, the impermanence of things, the imperfection of nature, and all this stuff that is directly connected to all the entropy and time and waste memes.

Like the function of the episode, and most episodes, is to kind of define and explain these concepts, and then kind of subvert or misinterpret them in silly ways to kind of goof with the concept in ways that may still reflect it. Leaving paintings unfinished in jarring ways, following impulses as they arise and building over the mistakes like those clay pots that you break and repair and stuff. Bunch of things I do and have done as a wabi sabi related goof.

>you are one of those people that do something by accident and say "I meant to do that!".
oh yeah! I'll stop working on a painting when I realize I goofed something up and then hang it for variable amounts of time and just stare at the mistakes and think about how to unfuck them and/or embrace them.
>yes, that is what happens when an amature copies a photo. They get the proportions right because they trace or use grids and then they fuck it up with paint because they suck.
yeah exactly. It's already an entirely new medium. If the goal is learning how to paint, the means by which the underdrawing is transferred to canvas is secondary.
>It's like you claim to use grids to get near perfect proportions, but in reality you get near perfect proportions BECAUSE your using grids. "I meant to do that"
I can draw portraits to near perfect proportions as it is. Been good at that since I was 15. You use grids to ensure you have everything blocked exactly as you want it in the frame.
>again, "I meant to do that", no you didn't.
I've been having these exact conversations since May of 2016. The idea of doing canvas transfers for the first year/until the printer ran out of ink, had been thought up in like September 2016.
> People devalue your art because you use tracing and grids
essentially all painters use grids. And normies don't give a shit. The people that really get triggered by this shit are /beg/ dorks. Not to mention that the paintings were also done with the cheapest brushes on the cheapest canvasses with the cheapest paint too. Them being shitty cheap meme painting jokes with no value that I then have to sell through a series of weird infomercials has been the idea, and then the bit for years now. I'm just bojangling on the whole video series part.
>this and the whole last paragraph is really redundant,
this thread is redundant. This conversation is redundant. It's almost been 3 years now. Time is a flat circle.

gotta dial in that nosey
>For anyone here who sells their work, do you only sell the original artwork or do you sell copies of it?
me me I'm not selling originals until like 2026 or so. And I haven't started selling prints yet. I just spam them on 4chang while arguing about nonsense mostly.

>I don't understand why so much of your life revolves around celebrities.
It doesn't really. They're just free subjects, plus the overwhelming majority of them are reaction images that were either solicited or stolen from anons on /tv/. I'm pretty much always more interested in the underlying meme or concept or whatever. Plus celebrities are generally pretty attractive and well-put-together and in ideal production environments, which is nice, particularly for me to turn into ugly half-finished paintings about them. And enjoy the subversiveness of when they're demonstrating their anxiety or being goofy or demonstrating their humanity or whatever.

>is this what you want to bring into the world?
Sure. Why not paint reaction images? Why not make exact proportioned paintings of copyrighted images that I don't own?

Ultimately muh goal is to use the paintings "to bring into the world" personal and social context and potentially new or novel ideas about humanity and existence and stuff that may help others as we barrel into the internet revolution and a new stage of human existence that we are fundamentally unprepared for.

And then from a personal philosophical perspective, it's proof that I existed! Production is the meaning of life. It's the Sisyphean struggle against entropy.
