I used to serve you in the corner shop a while ago :) I remember you telling me that people thought you were going no where but now you are really enjoying our art. Now I scroll through UA-cam and just by chance see you pop up on my recommended doing great! Awesome to see
During my addictions,,, graff was the least thing on my mind,,having been homeless for years,,the only place i picked up a pencil was the psych ward,now that i've been 2yrs sober off meth and alcohol,,i'm back at it and loving it,,,🤘🙏
I’m a caricature artists, was addicted to fentanyl and I agree with OPAKE, sometimes in the escape of Art can lead down a dark path. It also can be a route to a creative brighter path to helping others with your pain
This video was sooo cool! I wish more people talked about their experience with psychosis. I can listen to this guy talk all day! Please do a more in-depth video with him! This channel is cool af
Enjoyed this and i can relate alot im 7months into mental health & addiction recovery program , and its opened up my creative blockages from substance abuse! Powers to everyone doing the work on themselves & stay strong
When I was 17 I was so deep into my pills/meds addiction I started having really terrible withdrawal. This waking up in the middle of the night sweating, hot and cold, vomiting, these hallucinations. It was clear to me I couldn’t keep going like this. I cut off everyone and everything. I was the artsy kid, but when I started doing drugs I stopped drawing. When I decided to get clean, I ordered 6 small tubes of oil paint, a can of turpentine and locked myself in my grandmas house. Cut off everyone. I didn’t have a clue what I was doing, how oil paint works. But painting saved me, it healed me; well, to this day it HEALS me. Keep Going.
Really appreciate this video and the meaning behind spreading the correct message to people . It’s crazy how many people relate to your current situation, amazing to see the connection art has with people and how similar it can be in helping in addition / mental health issues etc I’ve suffered with adhd from being young lad obviously spiralled into cannabis dependency just like you. Partying all my younger years every weekend on the packet never absorbing anything else but the session . Art has gave me that pathway to release myself from that life and create this new better me for the future !! Bigs populist & Opake amazing content 👊
Truth spoken here for real! I I think biggest thing is realizing you even have addiction and then finding wich part it has in your soul! By that it’s possible to find out which other ways there are to reach out to your soul but fucking drugs! Thanks for the video
Love this!! very powerful piece, super super inspirational, glad i found the channel (couple of the subtitles are off but not enough that it doesn't make sense haha - english slang and sounds can be quite strange to be fair, just putting this for anyone who may of been confused about some bits)
I saw some interesting paintings, Its awesome to have a passion and keeping it alive. I know that feeling to be a nightmare for the surrounding and hope to find my own path. Thanks for sharing this insight.
@@abraxasjinx5207 Perhaps the distinction is that Warhol wasn't selling soup? Anyway, I wouldn't be using Andy as an example after the Supreme Court recently ruled that he violated another artist's copyright. :/
Thank man for this video it's real shit I can relate addiction is a bitch it doesn't discriminate age race it's good to cee this there is hope and recovery is possible!!
How does he not get sued by the artists who he uses as own artwork? He ONLY paints other artists creations over and over. Making thousands of money off of Tweety Bird and Mickey Mouse is WILD to me. Some folks have zero artistic integrity if they can make a living off other artists artwork.
Copyright is absolute nonsense anyway. You really think the ARTISTS who created those characters made the lions share of the money from them? Or even owned the fucking copyright? If you really look around you’ll realize copyright law doesn’t exist to help the little guy. You have to hire a lawyer and go on a whole campaign and most small creators can’t afford to do that and just don’t have the time or resources. Copyright law exists to protect the existence of monolith legacy brands. period.

It’s a funny world. Two men in a garage cut and paste famous cartoon 7:26 characters, colour them in with sharpies and talk about their “paintings”. The work looks awesome but I don’t get the rules 😅

Dont call yourself a painter..when all you use is stencils..and trace and copy..and use markers..no paintbrushes. Lol 😂 nahhhhh....you didnt paint anything sorry.
“Art” - it’s comic characters created by other people? Tiered of this western copy cat art that just makes a quick buck cos it’s recognizable. It’s chaos and it has no depth. Sorry, I appreciate it’s to run away from addiction. But calling it art is a bit rich, it’s a collage remix of familiar imagery you have seen growing up? Whatever happened to mastering your own vision. Whatever happened to being original.
Making Art not only can keep you sober but it heal your brain. You can feel it reversing the damage. It’s a profound feeling.

'art is a guarantee of sanity,' Louise Bourgeois. inspiring video
This was one of the best videos on UA-cam I have watched in awhile. Coming from a broken ADHD individual right now. I really appreciated this.

Keep
Going.
I have had psychosis several times and it's hard for anyone not suffering from it to understand what it is.

fucking beautiful artwork...
The voices.
Biting the artist 'Jerkface' pretty hard. And without his brush and paint skills. But fair play on tackling addiction.
I was going to say might formula for a stencil haha and i imagine it makes lots of money
What material is that you are using to make your stencils? Also awesome work, this is still art in my book
was thinking the same. Looks like vinyl
How do I teach myself to view the process as more important/enjoyable than the outcome?
Its the art world equivalent of Harry Potter fan fiction.
Change my mind.
If you want to make that argument, you'd have to say Warhol was just a fan of soup.

@@WHITEGHOAT he was not selling soup, that's exactly my point.
@@abraxasjinx5207 Exactly! But this goon IS selling ART originally created by other ARTists.

It was at times hard to read the subtitles. Still a good video visually.
8 Days? I commented this two years ago. Loosing perspective is going to bite this culture in the. ass.
i don’t know how to help my brother anymore. I’ve tried everything in my power.

Who cares, he's making a fine living off of his art. Cry more

Aslong as you change 20% of the image you can use it and avoid copyright 👍

Nature is what really heals. Got to cleanse you from city culture.
The huge problem seems to be the idiot on about a vinyl cutter 🤒,, we’ll have to find them one ☝️

Not sure knocking about with Sickboy is gonna help your drug addiction lol
Yea great video. Too bad it doesnt actually give his name anywhere.
:):):)
Mate, buy a fucking vinyl cutter.

painter is original word for graffiti artist i think he is obsessed with the correct lingo
You don't have to use a paintbrush to be a painter
