Sometimes you see insane naive fanart that should be in a museum, and you can never see it again bc itβs impossible to search for
i love outsider fan art so much, it really bums me out that deviant art went in on AI. thereβs something so human about taking a smoothed off corporate friendly character and giving them pathos (and/or detailed genitals)
i saved this one (left) long ago and the idea of it stuck with me so long i ended up drawing a tribute (right) years later

best seafood boil ive ever had came from a womanβs secret apartment kitchen setup, i have just as much faith in someone that lives or dies based on word of mouth vs the average rich shithead that buys a restaurant
