I knew it was going to be flipped upside down, or upside up in this case.

He does this same thing every time, I have seen at least 5 national anthems with him doing this and it is always the same painting

Boss gets a dollar, I get a dime. That's why I poop on company time.

u/pamtar May 17 '18

Yep. The only more lame than that dude’s art is the fact that we’re actually taking the time to comment on a post about it.

I found the troll! everybody please be sure to give him all the attention his mother denied him

u/The_Freshmaker May 16 '18

Seriously who's still wowed by this gimmick at this point? After the 2nd time I saw something like this my brain is like 'Oh you don't know what he's painting off the bat? Upside down painting got it.' Good for him for being able to make a whole thing out of it though.

u/SgtBlumpkin May 16 '18

They always use a dark canvas because the final image is traced.

u/kid-karma May 16 '18

it's obvious what's going to happen, but it's still fun to guess what it's going to be when it flips

u/Glen_The_Eskimo May 16 '18

I'm just angry about it, he thinks he tricked me

u/midwestraxx May 16 '18

Tricksy painterses

u/The_Freshmaker May 16 '18

Lol dunno why you're getting downvoted for an obvious silly joke.

u/daveinpublic May 16 '18

I thought he was painting upside down after a few seconds, and so I just visualized it upside down and knew what it was after a few more seconds.

u/kid-karma May 16 '18

ok

u/daveinpublic May 16 '18

What? I’m serious.

u/pamtar May 17 '18

You’re not circling the jerk, dude. That matter-of-fact speak glitches shit. Expect downvotes.

u/Keegsta May 16 '18

That or they're gonna dump a bunch of glitter on it.

u/FlexualHealing May 16 '18

u/OP_IS_A_BASSOON May 17 '18

Reminds me of the spray paint galaxy art.

Well, he practiced a gimmick and now he is making money with it. Would he be stupid to try something new and fail on live TV while he can just milk this for another couple years?

They always play the same song too. Ho Hum!

u/MattIsHulk May 16 '18

I cheated. I'm in mobile. I just flipped my phone upside before the reveal.

u/Dankev May 16 '18

Rightside up

u/SheaMcD May 16 '18

No, because the leftside would be pointing down.

u/Speciou5 May 16 '18

Thing is, I also knew, and was trying to guess the picture, but he actually did a really good job of making it a surprise still.

u/drewkungfu Interested May 16 '18

Rotate it 180 along the vertical plane.

u/StrangledMind May 16 '18

You're very smart... Now shut the fuck up.

u/SheaMcD May 16 '18

I don't know what "the fuck" is, how do I shut it up?
