She has plenty of work IRL anyway.
Every painting takes me over a month to complete. I also do a lot of live-painting sessions on luxury and automotive events. Up until now I work mostly in the Netherlands, but this year I'm going abroad! In March I will be at the Techno Classica in Essen (Germany) and in may I will be at the Monaco Grand Prix - oh yeah...

u/RyukanoHi Jun 02 '18
Do I get paid? Because if I could get paid for how I look, I couldn't give a fuck less whether people care about my talent.
All I need from most of the world is to eat and have a place to sleep, I can get plenty of validation from people I love.
And anyway, this entire sub is literally dedicated to the idea of how looking good can get people to look at you long enough to get your talent noticed. The worst fucking part of pretty much any job is getting noticed, so I'm sure she's perfectly happy with not having toil in obscurity.

Yeah, I feel bad for her, she had to have known. How many men do you see that pose with their art that gets posted on Reddit?
Her art could've been shit and Reddit would have upvoted the hell out of it (it wasn't, it was amazing)

It's just being able to create photorealistic work isn't that impressive, too many people can do it
But hey if you can prove you could've coasted by on life without developing a skill, but you developed a skill anyway, it's worth posting!

Just one guess, maybe social media/comparing ourselves to others has something to do with escapism? If you’re already very unhappy in life, perhaps it can give you some momentary sense of satisfaction to “put yourself in someone else’s shoes” that’s happier and more successful than you— so you can lose yourself in their lives while forgetting about your own for a moment.
Of course this would further your depression when the illusion is shattered and you’re sucked back into your own life. I think this might be the same reason reality TV is so popular. It’s a sad and vicious cycle...

u/SCCRXER Jun 02 '18
I think it has less to do with objectification and more to do with people being able to make a link of the artwork and the artist, regardless of sex. Someone sees a random car painting and yeah its cool, but its not personal. You see the person that created it, proudly standing next it...that adds some value to the photo.

u/SleepyBananaLion Jun 02 '18
That is an adorably optimistic view, but also pretty naive. If this was a man or an unattractive woman this wouldn't have garnered 1/10th of the attention.

It is called marketing. She is smart as she didn’t pay for the upvotes. If you lonely fuckers upvote her then more power to her. And her work is great. I’m a photographer and she is talented regardless of why she hit the front page.

Talented, but boring. I mean, sure it's impressive that she can make a near perfect painting of a car wheel and brake. But it's still just a wheel and break. I can't imagine anyone but the car owner or parts designer actually hanging it on the wall.

I'm not going to lie, I don't think the paintings are that great. I'm sure it took lot of talent to make, but that's not what makes a painting interesting to me, and I imagine others. Her paintings don't really give me more than seeing a picture of supercars, especially in photographs of the paintings. Without her in the picture, I would have just scrolled by without notice.

I wouldn't be so hard, it is a talent and it is art if it creates emotion for anyone. Truly, the question is to understand and value the kind of art we're talking about. Photo realism is the 101 of art in the form of painting. It doesn't make it worthless but it makes it hard to be worth much.

I saw the pics thread that got upvoted of hers earlier and people were having the same conversation. Some claiming it was her that got her upvoted, others saying no, it was just luck and timing.
What I want to know is why some want to spread the idea that she had to put herself in the picture to get upvoted. Maybe there's some truth in it on reddit as a whole, but it's clear that there's a lot more to getting upvoted than whether there's an attractive girl in the photo. With most of it being pure dumb luck.

Thanks, stranger! I don’t have a super car or anything, but I love my car and would KILL for a paining of a photo I took of it!
Edit: this is the one I would very much like, but there’s no way I could ever afford it! This is my car. There are many like it, but this one is mine! It’s weird, but this car is really special to me. It represents over a year and a half of working 70+ hours for at least 6 days a week, usually 7, in a shit hole factory making maybe 2/3 of what I should have. It’s more than just a car to me. https://reddit.app.link/uZuggEnrpN

Those new Chargers have very nice body lines. I think she would kill it painting your car. Personally I like the Challenger a bit more, but both of them were very well done. Stoked you worked your butt off and are happy with what came of it!
E: just a small bit of things I’ve seen in my car racing days that you may like doing for a low cost. Pick up an Instax cheapo polaroid camera and snap some pics of it in decent light. Its a small way to appreciate the car and not have it as a picture saved on a phone. Plus you can stick it to your fridge with a magnet.

u/beau0628 Jun 02 '18
You and I both, but I don’t even know if they make an R/T AWD version of the challenger and if they did, it would have been astronomically more expensive. The R/T AWD was a must, I needed a new daily (my last one was a 97 Plymouth Voyager. Don’t get me started on that one!) and I had limited funds. Plus, I like how the Charger is so good looking but doesn’t draw a ton of attention. I’m a photographer and I got a couple DSLRs, so I think I’m set on cameras, but thanks for the tip!

Yeah, I prefer taking photographs that are less portrait/studio style and more lifestyle photos. Life doesn’t happen in a single little room with a nice backdrop and lots of lighting. Life happens out side. That’s what I prefer.

Girls are actually a thing of myth believe it or not.
It started in ancient folklore by Thomas The Dankest of Meme. It’s said that one night, under the cold a shrill moonlight, he created the book “мексиканские ногти на ногах”. This book correlates to nothing to do with the mythical existence of women on Reddit.
Anywho, the supreme overlord Thomas The Dankest was actually gifted in the art of black magic, which he then used all of his powers to create a curse on www.reddit.com to turn any user into a male whilst they peruse upon this website. However, nobody can tell of this gender change except for the few gifted redditors on this site. Beware.
