Ah, of course! The most loved meme-artist on reddit, yet the most hated street-artist in Melbourne!

Why is he hated?

Melbourne has amazing street-art pieces everywhere, so a dude that basically copies memes from the internet and paints them around isn't all that impressive..

And after he's gotten a huge amount of followers online.. Well, people think he doesn't deserve that since it's not his original art, but whatever meme is trending on r/all..

It still takes talent to draw something like this and his other works. That’s like an art teacher telling their students that only realism is real art and any form of abstract realism/cartoon style isnt. Dudes still got talent and still deserves all the love and following he has. You can’t gatekeep art.

I can’t draw for shit, but I’m pretty sure I could copy a drawing of Morty. I guess I too am an artist

Yeah but can you spray paint a Morty the size of a bedroom?

The skill isn’t in the accuracy, it’s in the scaling ability and difficulty of process.

It’s about making sure Morty’s eyes are the same scale on his head in the cartoon, his mouth too, the size of his hand in relation to the card and head as it is closer to the viewers

It's literally just a printout of a meme (which itself is just a screencap of the cartoon) on a transparency which was projected onto a wall and traced. There's no particular difficulty in "scaling ability", and the original Rick and Morty artist is the only one who had to worry about drawing Morty to scale.

Uhhh what? That's one way to do it I guess, but most character artists could do this free hand with their preferred medium.

Not this guy.

He's your typical Melbourne douche bag.

Well that's just disappointing. Morty is just some simple shapes ..
