Get over it. If you posted selfies I'm sure the world wouldn't stop by to comment on it, every time.
Unless you're r04r. Or possibly Becky.

5x7 pet portraits are starting at $40 +shipping (8 bucks usually) for a giclee art print on 250gsm 100% cotton rag archival paper. Additional for larger size, canvas prints or metal prints. 2 - 3 week for delivery, drop shipped from printmaker. If you require anonymous shipping, because you're scared needs or whatever, that's fine, I will create an account for you, upload the artwork, format the print job, and hand the account over privately by email or whatever, and you can easily change the password and fill in the shipping address and pay for the shipping and handling. I will ask for an inconvenience fee though, because this removes a job from my account queue and I'd rather not have to do that.
But I will if you have to make it known you're from here and don't want me to have any personal info like that and be aware of the fact you're from here.
You can certainly just e-mail me at [email protected] which is published on my Facebook and most places I'm posting ATM, and just don't say minichan, and you'll just be in the queue along with others.
Or friend me on Facebook, and contact me there. Or Instagram, or hmu on imgur or pretty soon on a more permanent website. I'm sure I'll post about it.
And if you have a different kind of project in mind than a pet portrait hmu and I'll quote it if I think I can do it and make something you'll appreciate.
ATM, only really selling digital paintings in giclee print form. I will eventually be selling unique physical oil paintings, limited runs of art capture prints, and whatever else seems cool at the time.
And I'm only going to post about selling stuff this one time. I'll continue to post future artwork though. Far from all of it, I'm trying to link things up so I can post once somewhere and things link back to it.
Most people that actually know me irl know I've always been a self-employed retailer with a shop in Dallas and had many thousands of customers every year and have done work for the George w. Bush Presidential Library, Jerry Jones owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Ross Perot, city of Dallas Mayor's office, CR Smith museum, the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, oversaw the transfer of ownership and relocation of the original Eiffel Tower clock mechanism displayed on the tower at the 1889 world's fair and is now in private collection, as well as a bunch of other people over 18 years.
And I was on an episode of Storage Wars Texas and was consulted to do an appraisal. So there you go, y'all have fun with that along with other things like being profiled by the Dallas morning News and I forget where else. Texas monthly I think.
I'm just saying, I may not have a federal tax ID or a business license or a physical showroom, at the moment, but I've always taken my work and my business no differently than ever. My actual reputation says more about me than I can and I'm sure it'll continue to do so.
Anyway, y'all know where to find me, I'll try to make something you'll like if I can.

Ur so scared of being known by how you express yourself you hide yourself from it. Say what you want, you have no identity, you lack any character.
I mean, it bothered me when Kook had something to say because, I mean, she matters. She's somebody. I don't like her, but at least she wasn't scared of herself. At least not so scared she couldn't even be known as an individual. She won't be forgotten. The impact that anons lack is meaning anything to anyone.
@1,224,019 (B) is enough disambiguation to at least choose to not have anything to say, and the variety in that image carries more impact by that expression -even if you're actually, in reality, every single anon poster who's ever posted here.
I'm not saying that to try and be insulting, it is just the nature of this anonymous fad that has existed only since it's been enabled by technology that fundamentally is about having connections that are meaningful. Otherwise, What's the point of it? Trying desperately to have someone care you were here?
I've read through a bunch of my old posts from years ago and I'd forgotten a bunch of the things I said and did to express myself.
And I think it's kinda funny to know that anons won't even remember themselves having had ideas worth being said. And anons say a lot, only to be lost to ambiguity.
Anonymous ideas are nothing but memes, they have no value to spend with. But they're funny. And that's all they'll ever be. Something to laugh at.
Of course that's just my opinion. Maybe you'll prove me wrong and be the one anon who said something to be remembered.
How many anons do you even remember had something to say that mattered enough to have an impact that lasts longer than it takes to to tap out a response and hit post?

see, that's why I like you. continuity. ur anon, but recognizable as a distinct individual. but, even if other people post recognizably with an image from this set, it doesn't matter. with consistent lack of context, continuity remains unchanged. 10 different people, 10 different reasons to reply, even 10 different image variations, regardless of any distinguishing underlying uniquenesses, true anonymity is maintained and the pure essence of the message, the idea, is transmitted and interpretable without any external modifying factors. I can always take at face value what understanding there is for me to consider. there can be no dishonesty about what there is to know, no judgement of a person above the value of the idea, no privileged information, motive, or unfair manipulation of the idea, or of the viewer who considers it. a perfectly decomposed individuality into a true non-identity representative of nothing more than mood.
swears no allegiance or affiliation to individual or group identity, no value gained or lost by conformity or abandonment, it stands for nothing, and everything, and only expects consideration in return with no persuasive or leading certainties. mere vagueness.
post in an art thread, the same idea shakes out as in any other thread.

oh, see, now you're bordering on presentational symbolism and abandoning representational iconography.
series of representational squeegee cat images or

on-the-fly combinations of emojis into individual representational images, either in series, or really just chosen or constructed to convey meaning in relation to the viewer becomes presentational and intimate connections between the identity behind sender and receiver are built and maintained. Charlie sheen anon, squeegee shoops, all that stuff came out of my background in illustration, cartooning, and animation a looong time ago.
even though they are different, faceguy and monkeytits, you've used that combination and order before, and have used monkeytits i guess sarcastically? or at least its been spammed at me to convey a ridiculing of my identity -possibly because I misinterpreted the intended message behind the faceguy shown in a reply.
and what's happening is communication.
a more personal kind of custom emoji use basically, if your faceguy images each carry unique meaning you try to convey it's presentations of figurative representational art and monkeytits fits into a chain of communication and you're basically just doing strings of emoji in custom edited picture format.
which is creative and expressive of you as an individual and identifying of you as unique, non-anonymous unnamed individual as well. but also repetitive, and non adaptive, which makes impersonation very easy, and that leaves your self identity as Anonymous faceguy open to being used dishonestly, or motivating persuasively, any of the stuff that relies on the identity behind the message as being a known identity.
so, monkeytits being posted in that way disambiguates you from other posters that collectively fall under the umbrella of outside cats.
and anonymity isn't being used by outside cats as an ontological philosophy of identity in the postmodern sense of deconstructed individualism as a counter culture rejection of self and identity as a marketed to and exploited commodity in the rights restricted, commercial spoke of mass consumer marketing models.
you're using anonymity to conceal your identity and act to target individuals repetitively and ambiguously to effect what voice, or expression or idea you personally would like to diminish, probably because of personal biases counter to the philosophical political ideologies that anonymous culture originally developed from.
that's the problem with presentational symbolism VS. representational symbolism in terms of anonymous messaging.
everyone's matt, because Matt is obsessive, uncreative, repetitive, identifiable, dishonest, insincere, opportunistic, lacks any kind of subtlety, imagination, personality
but who knows. he doesn't respect his own identity enough to claim it. he denies it every time I've ever seen anyone suggest it. its pathetic.
sad thing is its more likely you'd deny being matt, even though all of this was based off of the 2 pictures you posted. Matt should want to disambiguate from you. if, you know, all this came from interpreting your creative expressions and interpreting the meaning behind your "messages."
but, a picture says 1000 words. or sometimes just 4. it depends how much art history and criticism and junk you took before dropping out.
🫵👁️_👃👁️👂 -here kitty, kitty, kitty.
if anyone wonders what a degree in art could be worth in terms of what you get out of it... a lot of words from a pic of monkeytits.
but an mfa in writing and dude can't say shit and still puts his foot in his mouth...
just a guess. I really don't know. don't take my word for it. I guess you can believe him when he bawws more.
