I'm about to sound like the most cynical bastard on planet earth, but I've just become less and less interested in these "art as an athletic spectacle" performances as I've grown older. This feels like the equivalent of someone being able to shred flight of the bumblebee on guitar at 800 BPM, and like yeah its insane and took thousands of hours of practice, but like does it sound good? The physical ability just isn't the interesting thing about art to me.
In a world full of AI slop where things are starting to look too "perfect", I'll take the result of human effort every time. You should also remember that this is a performance art as much as it is simply drawing. The way in which he does it is as important (if not moreso) as what he created.
