An Artist’s Second Chance and Creative Work

How much is it for this? Today's your lucky day. I'm giving them away for 20. Just for you.

Just for me? No. I design those on my computer. They light up.

How many have you sold? Uh, a lot of them. I've sold one. You know, it's it's tough out there in the art market.

That's what I keep telling myself. Cuz I think they're pretty cool. You know, I had like a lot more at one point, but then a bunch of them got stolen. I got a bunch of them back.

The thief? Yeah? He had to ask for the charging cord. Do you do this full time?

Yeah, I work real hard on art all the time. You got a job? Yes. What's your job?

I don't have a job. You're a bad liar, you know that? I know. That's probably why I don't have a job.

I did all this stuff, and then it was getting stolen, and it wouldn't sell. So, I had to develop like a new method. So, I started doing stuff in MS Paint, and and I turned my my life to God. Did you really?

I did. Hey, congrats, dude. I just do a pixel by pixel. How long did that take you?

Took me like 6 months. You can't be closer to God if you don't learn patience. But, I'm getting quicker now. What did you do before you started doing art?

Digital advertising and stuff like that. And then, shortly thereafter, I had a near-death experience. You almost died? Yeah.

I shouldn't laugh. There's these things called lupin beans. They're an Italian delicacy. I didn't know I was allergic to them.

So, next thing I know, I was looking out the window, and all the leaves on the trees, they turned bright white. I was enveloped in white light totally for like a minute, and I was just waiting, man. I was just waiting to see that golden sash appear of the Lord Jesus himself. But, then I came back to reality.

I was in my I was on my kitchen floor. I prayed for another chance at life, you know? Why do you think you're here? I have thought a lot about that.

There's a reason for all of us. But, I was thinking mainly it's my daughter. She's eight. She practices art with me.

Can I buy one of these? Yeah, of course. I was born creative. Part of growing up, you have to realize that there's these things that you're you're born into, and if you're not coming to grips with that, at some point you'll never have like that meaning that we were talking about earlier, the reason why.

The reason why a guy like me could be spared from a loop in beans. There's a reason for it, dude. So, how do you get by when you don't sell it? I sell antiques and stuff like that.

Sometimes I get lucky. I don't think it's luck, dude. I think it's just a matter of people seeing it. I don't think many people have seen many paintings like this coming out of MSP before.

Do you have a website? I did, but then it was either that or renewing my tags. I have to get it back up and running. And what's stopping you from doing that?

Like $30. 30 bucks? Yeah. Up to this point, nobody visited the website.

Put the website back up and I'm going to take this because I think this is phenomenal artwork. Wow, man. I promise I'll get you the website up and running. And I have over 30 million friends online that I'm sure would love to come and support you.

30 million what? What are you talking about? 30 million people who follow my account. You need to get that up and running so we can get Yeah, yeah.

This is a good motivator. Hey. Wow.
