i think about this a lot


The guy got his life and career destroyed by his divorce, cut him some slack.

he was also sexually assaulted by a man who could destroy his career 

protect him

reblog if the man on the right is just as beautiful as the man on the left

people grow old? like, thatā€™s a thing that happens? leave my guy alone.


This man deserves everything let him he happy

Okā€¦ This is what happened to Fraser
-His wife ditched him and asked for 900k a year,  
-He was sexually assaulted which he said kicked him into a deep depression 
-He stated that the stunts from the 3rd Mummy movie completely destroyed his body and he was in and out of the hospital for 7 years even having to get surgery to repair his vocal cords.
-He apparently blamed himself for all this which only worsened his depression.
This man has literally been through hell this past decade so please lets cut him some slack and wish him the best

All this but also that picture on the right is a really bad paparazzi photo compared with a professional quality movie promo still. No one looks good when some random person snaps you on the street, regardless of who you are.
Compare with this image from the GQ article last February:
Proper lighting, professional setting, good angles etc.
The dude is 49 and has had a rough couple of decades, but heā€™s still lovely to look at, and Iā€™ll fight anyone who says otherwise.


Plus, now heā€™s in Doom Patrol, which makes me happy af. 

And letā€™s not forget he was probably slightly to severely dehydrated to look that buff in he first photo.And Iā€™m so pleased he got work again he seems like a good sort, and from the stealth pilot in Titans, Doom Patrol looks like it should be good.

It shouldnā€™t even matter what heā€™s been through. Body shaming of ANYONE is wrong. 

ALL OF THIS
Plus
2019 Brendan is still slaying, so btfu


This post keeps getting better and Iā€™m here for it 


I love this whole thread


The last time I saw this it was only at the first ā€˜cut him some slackā€™ part and it just progressively gets better each time.

if youā€™ve ever wondered what itā€™s like to live in the midwest, this is it.Ā 

You missed some of the best ones 

the best part about it is that the art installation isnā€™t actually called the Bean. Itā€™s called Cloud Gate, and artist Anish Kapoor (yes, THAT Anish Kapoor) hates that we call it the Bean.
But i mean, look at it. Itā€™s a bean.


How could you forget this one though


I HAD NO FUCKING IDEA THAT THE BEAN WAS CREATED BY ANISH KAPOOR.

someone help me why is anish kapoor important what did he do?

Alright sit down for some Art World Drama bcause this is what I live for.
So, sometime last year (?) science invented Vantablack, which is the darkest possible shade of black. Art world got incredibly excited. But as it needs to be very carefully made in a lab, itā€™s hard to get a hold of, and is extremely expensive. Enter Anish Kapoor, aka FuckFace McGee. Anish Kapoor buys the rights to Vantablack. He is the only human being on the planet that can legally use it, and heā€™s kind of a prick about it.
Art world is not thrilled with that.
Enter Stuart Semple.
Stuart Semple is an artist, and also makes pigments to sell in his free time. Stuart Semple is astoundingly pissed about this Vantablack nonsense, and Anish Kapoorā€™s dickery. Stuart Semple makes a new pigment, the brightest shade of pink ever, called Pinkest Pink, and puts it for sale on the internet. To be bought by everybody except Anish Kapoor. Literally, to purchase, you need to confirm that you are not Anish Kapoor, do not associate with him, and will not sell or give the pigment to Anish Kapoor or his associates. Art world has a good laugh, everyone buys Pinkest Pink because itā€™s awesome, and damn it we deserve something.
Anish Kapoor however is a penis, and will not take this lying down, because HOW DARE he not have literally everything.
Anish Kapoor gets his London associates to buy him a thing of Pinkest Pink, and being such a classy human being, posts a picture to instagram of him with his middle finger covered in Pinkest Pink, captioned withĀ ā€œUp yours. #pinkā€
Everyone flips shit, because. Yā€™know. Fuck that guy. Especially Stuart Semple. For context here, Anish Kapoor is one of the richest artists on the planet, and has repeatedly been referred to as everything wrong with the art world, and the epitome of the art worlds elitism problem. Heā€™s a giant douchebag. Meanwhile Stuart Semple makes pigments just to get them out there. He turns 0 profit from his now enourmously popular pigments.
Stuart Semple launches an investigation as to who the fuck leaked Pinkest Pink, and plans to strike back. He does so by releasing two new products. First is Diamond Dust, which is a glitter made from glass, so that a painting is still visible after itā€™s applied, but glitters like a mofo. Itā€™s the most reflective glitter out there, and is available to everyone who isnā€™t Anish Kapoor. And it being made of glass, if you stick your finger in there, itā€™s going to hurt quite a bit, so that was Stuart Sempleā€™s way of sayingĀ ā€œshove your middle finger in this, asshole, see what happensā€. Except without saying that, because he can get an insult across while still being fucking classy.
He also releases Black 2.0, created with the help of over a thousand artists worldwide.
Black 2.0 is the answer to Vantablack. Black 2.0 is a slightly less black black, but looks functionally the same to the human eye. Itā€™s completely safe, smells like cherries, and costs four pounds. Vantablack is highly toxic, potentially explosive, needs to be applied in a special laboratory and sealed properly, canā€™t be moved across borders, can reach 300 degrees celsius if youā€™re not extremely careful, and costs thousands of dollars. Anish Kapoor is the only human being who can use Vantablack. He is the only human being who cannot use Black 2.0.
So I think we can guess who got the better deal.
And thus the feud ends, Kapoor defeated.
ā€¦But not quite.
Kapoor, in this entire afair, has made exactly two comments to the public. The first being his charming message about aquiring Pinkest Pink, the second being claiming to Buzzfeed that he and his small army of lawyers will be suing Semple, an extremely poor artist who cannot afford a lawyer.
No lawsuit has been made yet, fyi.
The point is, Kapoor is a prick, and doesnā€™t like talking to the lower classes. So one day in July 2017, he decides he needs another floor on his London studio apartment, and starts making arrangements to have it built. His neighbors are fucking pissed, because this will ruin the light of their apartments. They call to Semple to save them, or at the very least piss Kapoor off some more.
Semple answers to the call, and releases two new paints, Phaze and Shift, as always, banned to Kapoor. They change colours, Phaze with temperature, and Shift is just iridescent. Shift needs to be painted over Black 2.0 to work, and Phaze just works on its own.
So thatā€™s been the art world for the last two years.
Basically, get fucked Anish Kapoor your bean sucks and so does your vantablack.

Stuart Semple is organising a bean-kissing event for Anish Kapoorā€™s birthday.


Reblogging for ā€œBy attending this event you confirm that you are not Anish Kapoor, you are in no way affiliated with Anish Kapoor, you are not attending on behalf of Anish Kapoor or an associate of Anish Kapoor. To the best of your knowledge, information, and belief this event will not be attended by Anish Kapoor.ā€


ALSO HE JUST POSTED THIS!!!!!! LIGHTEST LIGHT!


I know this isnā€™t my art blog but this entire post gives me life 

im sorry is that man holding a real actual miniature star in his hands

Yā€™all missed the best part about the lightest light, called aptlyĀ ā€˜Litā€™. This is from their product page:

Two things:
1.Ā ā€œAnish Kapoor is however a penisā€ is the best line in this post.
2. I wish to be half as petty and half as awesome as Stuart Semple


I hope Stuart Semple is making a lot of money. What a good person.

Go support him the paintā€™s are pretty cheap and you get the added bonus of being one of many to help piss off Anish Kapoor


He is my fucking role model for pettiness oh my god 


It got better! Iā€™m also excited because he just released biodegradable glitter in non plastic containers! How amazing is that?! Stuart Semple, good guy for the planet and artists, fighter against the rich elite artist like asshole Kapoor.


An older project, but he also did this:
(x)

oh dude hes metal as fuckĀ 

Every addition to this post is better than the last.


Me, being gay and having my blood drawn: soā€¦what do you need my blood for again?
Stuart Semple: gonna make an anti-government t-shirt with it.

Be a Stuart Semple in 2020. Use your petty to inspire and drive you.

8:08 AM PDT 8/16/2019 by Kareem Abdul-JabbarThe NBA great and Hollywood Reporter columnist, a friend of the late martial arts star, believes the filmmaker was sloppy, somewhat racist and shirked his responsibility to basic truth in ā€˜Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.ā€™Remember that time Dr.ā€ÆMartin Luther King Jr. kidney-punched a waiter for serving soggy croutons in his tomato soup? How about the time the Dalai Lama got wasted and spray-painted ā€œKarma Is a Beachā€ on the Tibetan ambassadorā€™s limo? Probably not, since they never happened. But they could happen if a filmmaker decides to write those scenes into his or her movie. And, even though we know the movie is fiction, those scenes will live on in our shared cultural conscience as impressions of those real people, thereby corrupting our memory of them built on their real-life actions.Thatā€™s why filmmakers have a responsibility when playing with peopleā€™s perceptions of admired historic people to maintain a basic truth about the content of their character. Quentin Tarantinoā€™s portrayal of Bruce Lee in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood does not live up to this standard. Of course, Tarantino has the artistic right to portray Bruce any way he wants. But to do so in such a sloppy and somewhat racist way is a failure both as an artist and as a human being.This controversy has left me torn. Tarantino is one of my favorite filmmakers because he is so bold, uncompromising and unpredictable. Thereā€™s a giddy energy in his movies of someone who loves movies and wants you to love them, too. I attend each Tarantino film as if it were an event, knowing that his distillation of the ā€™60s and ā€™70s action movies will be much more entertaining than a simple homage. Thatā€™s what makes the Bruce Lee scenes so disappointing, not so much on a factual basis, but as a lapse of cultural awareness.Bruce Lee was my friend and teacher. That doesnā€™t give him a free pass for how heā€™s portrayed in movies. But it does give me some insight into the man. I first met Bruce when I was a student at UCLA looking to continue my martial arts studies, which I started in New York City. We quickly developed a friendship as well as a student-teacher relationship. He taught me the discipline and spirituality of martial arts, which was greatly responsible for me being able to play competitively in the NBA for 20 years with very few injuries.During our years of friendship, he spoke passionately about how frustrated he was with the stereotypical representation of Asians in film and TV. The only roles were for inscrutable villains or bowing servants. In Have Gun - Will Travel, Paladinā€™s faithful Chinese servant goes by the insulting name of ā€œHey Boyā€ (Kam Tong). He was replaced in season four by a female character referred to as ā€œHey Girlā€ (Lisa Lu). Asian men were portrayed as sexless accessories to a scene, while the women were subservient. This was how African-American men and women were generally portrayed until the advent of Sidney Poitier and blaxploitation films. Bruce was dedicated to changing the dismissive image of Asians through his acting, writing and promotion of Jeet Kune Do, his interpretation of martial arts.Thatā€™s why it disturbs me that Tarantino chose to portray Bruce in such a one-dimensional way. The John Wayne machismo attitude of Cliff (Brad Pitt), an aging stuntman who defeats the arrogant, uppity Chinese guy harks back to the very stereotypes Bruce was trying to dismantle. Of course the blond, white beefcake American can beat your fancy Asian chopsocky dude because that foreign crap doesnā€™t fly here.I might even go along with the skewered version of Bruce if that wasnā€™t the only significant scene with him, if weā€™d also seen a glimpse of his other traits, of his struggle to be taken seriously in Hollywood. Alas, he was just another Hey Boy prop to the scene. The scene is complicated by being presented as a flashback, but in a way that could suggest the stuntmanā€™s memory is cartoonishly biased in his favor. Equally disturbing is the unresolved shadow that Cliff may have killed his wife with a spear gun because she nagged him. Classic Cliff. Is Cliff more heroic because he also doesnā€™t put up with outspoken women?I was in public with Bruce several times when some random jerk would loudly challenge Bruce to a fight. He always politely declined and moved on. First rule of Bruceā€™s fight club was donā€™t fight ā€” unless there is no other option. He felt no need to prove himself. He knew who he was and that the real fight wasnā€™t on the mat, it was on the screen in creating opportunities for Asians to be seen as more than grinning stereotypes. Unfortunately, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood prefers the good old ways.

Bullshit.Ā He didnā€™t. Heā€™s pulling a PR stunt right now.


From a quick googling, national testicle association doesnā€™t exist anywhere. Most hits track back to news articles to this subject matter, but there is NO actual association with that exact name (Did all these fucks who created their clickbait articles around the web even bother to checkā€¦?)
ā€œSincerely, Dick N bawlsā€? Lol seriously tumblr are you this gullible
everyone can take a picture of them wearing a oxygen tube, especially if it doesnā€™t seem to connect to anywhere (= normally a oxygen device or similarĀ  should be next to his bed). They can be detached to the main tube, leaving only the piece that wraps around your your ears/head, thatā€™s exactly how that photo looks like. I should have taken a pic like that last time I was in the hospital just to bullshit people on social media lmao

Also this:
Whereā€™s that Testicle Association youā€™re speaking of?

That NTA logo on the letterhead is from the Nutritional Therapy Association (x)



If you expected a nazi to act with integrity you havenā€™t been paying attention 

This website is sooo fucking unbelievably stupid imagine needing an entire dissertation to understand that this neo-nazi did not actually donate his left testicle to theĀ ā€œNational Testicle Associationā€ and produce a document signed by a real man named Dick N Bawls

i hate this dude with a burning passion. its just the same girl all over again. hes some russian dude who lives in japan n everyone thinks this is dope but like its all the exact same piece. he makes a living out of this
this is what he makes per week. for drawing the same anime girl over and over again
yall really think this is dope

meanwhile artists who actually put effort and thought into their art and dont just draw barely legal looking anime girls struggle to get food :)

Iā€™m not particularly fond or interested in his art, but hating an artist just because he/she made it, is just sad. He found a niche for himself, and apparently a lot of people seem to enjoy it. I applaud the fact that so many are willing to support the ā€œfreeā€ art scene as it is, and Iā€™m sure there is a niche for you as well.Ā Instead of being silly, and hating on some dude on the internet, direct your spare energy to something useful; focus on honing your skills. Thatā€™s the sole difference between him and you.


Bitch this is one of my favorite artist, fucking catch these hands.



how bitter yall have to be to shit on this artist for having found an audience 
maybe try focus on something else besides being this petty at someone elses success 


ā€œsupport independent artists!!1 except this one bc I donā€™t like themā€ lmfao I hate this website 

Did OP ever recover from this?

To add more salt in OPā€™s wound
Thereā€™s gonna be an anime movie in 2020 where the artist above is the movieā€™s Visual Designer.
So :ā€>




I mean, he draws a very aesthetically pleasing anime girl. Heā€™s a proud dad who loves making art of his art daughter.

I applaud the fact that so many are willing to support the ā€œfreeā€ art scene as it is, and Iā€™m sure there is a niche for you as well.Ā Instead of being silly, and hating on some dude on the internet, direct your spare energy to something useful; focus on honing your skills. Thatā€™s the sole difference between him and you.


Bitch this is one of my favorite artist, fucking catch these hands.



how bitter yall have to be to shit on this artist for having found an audience 
maybe try focus on something else besides being this petty at someone elses success 


ā€œsupport independent artists!!1 except this one bc I donā€™t like themā€ lmfao I hate this website 

Did OP ever recover from this?

To add more salt in OPā€™s wound
Thereā€™s gonna be an anime movie in 2020 where the artist above is the movieā€™s Visual Designer.
So :ā€>




I mean, he draws a very aesthetically pleasing anime girl. Heā€™s a proud dad who loves making art of his art daughter.
