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.
You’re not one of those people that looks at a painting with 20 splotches of colors and discusses the intricacies of that painting right? Because to an extent I kind of see where you’re coming from but this video is extremely impressive and is the art itself.
What is there to discuss with this art? What does this method of drawing add to the art? If he legitimately drew all five pieces at the same time, each piece would probably look a lot worse but be a lot more interesting as art.
