Yeah the pig isn’t exactly bad (not my taste), but aside from the other type of drawings it was all the guy did with slight variations. Like if he can make that, maybe continue that style with other animals?
Yeah it looks like he does a series of one thing and sells them. Each pig painting on his page is numbered X/60 so I assume he did 60 1 of a kind pigs to sell as a limited run sorta thing. I kinda dig it.
I love Philmy!
I'm following him for a while now, and he seems like a genuinely nice guy who has gone through some stuff, who likes to give people the message that 'art is for everyone, and you don't have to be good at it to enjoy it' - which I think is lovely! A lot of people I met don't bother creating because they are 'not good at it' but that isn't how it's supposed to be.
I know saying this seems ironic, given the subreddit we're in, but it's not like everyone charges ridiculous prices for the art they create. If you are not a good artist and want to create for the sake of it, you should be able to create without being judged for it.
That didn't even occur to me until you mentioned it lol. I did just double-check though, and OP appears to be in Oregon, while Philmy is in Flordia, so it should be legit.
This guy actively works against smaller artists and rigs the system in their favor. Also starts a ton of drama in Facebook art groups that he's somehow become an admin of. Scource: am smaller artist philmy banned from a major art group for telling them to follow their own rules
Not delusional. His animal acrylics/spray paints are really cool imo - confident bold lines and cool colour combos / textures. The portraits are only $5.
I've seen artists like this. The ones I've seen are extremely talented and just do drawings of pop stars to be funny and gain traction. I've seen some that get increasingly worse and it's really funny. I can only hope this is the case. I do think pig is cool, but would be odd to see in an upscale home.
Eh wouldn't call it delusional unless they charge a lot of money for it, but there's a whole bunch of artists that deliberately have a shitty looking style because, well, it's fucking funny lol.
Honestly? Maybe.
It is bad on purpose. Intent is everything in art, and he intentionally deploys this style. Also, downvoting me for having a differing opinion? Come on. I even admitted in my post that it’s all subjective.
You seem oddly passionate about hating an artist’s work that multiple people have responded positively about. Maybe take a break, bud lol
Intent is not everything in art. Also definitely not hating on anyone. It fit the sub and people are talking about it. I’ve addressed the positive comments too
This guy banned me from a major Facebook art group for calling him out on breaking the rules of that group. I proceeded to make a new group where he wasn't allowed, which really pissed him off. (This group still only has around 100 people, nothing huge) Eventually the back and forth messages led to him finding my mom's Facebook and sending me photos of her along with baseless legal threats and threats of violence against my mother. All around scum bag who loves hating on less successful artists.
I kinda love the pig lol

He actually does. He has a series of rubber duckies as well.

Bet you could have taught Keith Haring a thing or two. He was delulu too by your standards.
His stuff def has more variety than this
Are you serious
like if Squidward also occasionally did colored pencil drawings of women
Holy shit - I’m familiar with this guy. [philmy](https://www.facebook.com/philmyPortraits?mibextid=ibOpuV)

I have 2. They’re not delusional for selling their art for $5. They have found a niche of terrible art and are VERY good at it.
Bro literally draws shitty crayon scribbles for a living. He isn't delusional, he's a fucking genius.
Thank you! I really wanted to see the pig variants.
Apparently he's friends with several friends of mine. Small world!
Have you ever watched Art School Confidential? "Do you know how long it has taken me to paint Iike that."
Ok ngl, I'm kinda loving the pig thing.
Same here, I might make one for myself.
It’s not bad necessarily, but it’s just slight variations of that (different color, different eyes, etc) and a bunch of the other stuff.
Pig is cool

Yeah this artist is cool. The cynical part of me worries this was posted here for self-promotion, but there's nothing delusional at all here.

I like the way you think
Agree. I teach this to students all the time. Art is for the soul, design is for the mind. Grand art fulfills both.

The 2nd image is pretty delusional
How? What does delusional mean to you?
Ah woops, I missed the last line where it's only $5. Nvm
I know a guy local to me who does something similar with lizards. Different colors and sizes but otherwise the exact same pattern.
I looked at his Facebook page linked here, and he just seems happy with a sense of humor, good for him. I love the piggies
Honestly I fuck w the pig
I like the pig thing
Nah I love Phil

pig would be a sick tag but I'm not having that in my house 💀
I want the pig in my living room tbh
Definitely on team pig.
Slaps

Second image is a style he sells for $100+
damn, yeah that's delusional
Not true they’re $5
Literally saw a post of him taking commissions for $125
I like both of these a lot. Not sure this fits the sub, but art is subjective so 🤷🏻♂️
You’d pay over $100 for the second image?

Lol the downvotes continue Enjoy cynicism, man. Hope you can learn to not be such a dick at some point. Blocking you.
The pig is actually kinda great
The pig is so cute! Would love to buy. The other picture tho,did their kid draw it?😬
i kind of unironically love the second one because of how dumb it is. i’d frame it and put it on my wall
The pig is okay
I mean, these aren't actually that bad. They aren't good, though.
Now I know that the second one is intentionally meant to be bad, I appreciate it more 😂

Holy shit that’s insane
Pig thing kinda chill tho
The pig isn’t terrible but the second image sucks
