Who likes my Don Cossack art lmao kill me

I will post a pic of a Terek Cossack chasing down a commie

This good stuff my nigger

@Deleted User your art?

No hell no

I mean

Bruh I have a life okay

Same to you brother

@Deleted User good stuff indeed

I wonder how much painting recreations cost in general

I know there are farms in china that make pretty reasonable fakes for reasonable prices

I guess the particularly beautiful ones are beautiful because of greater time and skill invested, and therefore are difficult even to imitate, and therefore expensive

Oh really? Weird

yeah, they have like warehouses full of people who just learn to sit and copy

they're clearly inferior works of course, but they can still be prety nice

Hm.. I'll have to think about that

I met a painter in Krakow selling street art who was very talented

I love that shit

I'm debating just buying one of his or ordering recreations of specific paintings that mean something to me

I spend a lot of time in the PNW so there are a lot of really gorgeous landscapes floating about painted by nobodies, I've taken to collecting them

(porque no los dos)

Oh that's great

Personally I'm a fan of supporting actual talented artists

Then you get something of greater value because real work went into it, rather than just the imitation of someone else's

Yeah, he seemed like a good guy

I told him I wasn't into modern art because I felt it was lazy, he agreed and said he teaches at an art school and these days students come in already thinking they are artists

big oof

They will just splash some paint on a canvas and when he asks them what it is, they say "free interpretation "

One of his colleagues just got fed up with them one day, took a chair, threw a blanket on it, and told them to paint it. None of them knew how.
