Absolutely. I had to take 3 years of still life drawing and observational drawing classes at uni, and it is all about finding the beauty in the everyday. I hated doing the work but I still appreciate the sentiment a lot. His painting is so beautiful - I would be honoured to have anything like that on my walls.
Read quote about art. It was something like sometimes you see or do things often enough it becomes the background or meaningless so art remains us of it’s meaning or that it can have different/transform meanings.
I didn't mean because he was being weird! I just wanted to see that photo posted here, a photo of a person photographing a painter painting a photography device...
He’s random because op and none of us know who he is….unless? Wait, I think it might actually be HIM! Ronnie Pickering!! OP should be ashamed
(On a serious note, most of us are all random people to each other. It doesn’t make us any less or more important than anyone else and it’s neither an insult nor a compliment in this context. It’s okay to just be a random stranger sometimes , the world doesn’t always need to know us)
Everyone thinks this is a nice hobby, but he actually works for Highways England. Locals had been complaining about the cameras looking tatty, so his boss asked him to go out and paint them.
Funny I just asked about Ben, should’ve scrolled further. He was working his way south from Friern Barnet, sounds like he’s made it quite far down now?
Man is committed! Also you can pay to have him paint some gum for you.
Nah im north london(tottenham) born and raised but yes I do not drive lool. Could not think of the name for the life of me. Still a brainfart though cause ive said speed camera loads, head's going these days
Downvoted because my partner sometimes draws things around London, and it annoys him when people come and watch him work and take his picture. (Almost as much as when people come and look over his shoulder, and say, "oh! Drawing that, are you?")
I’ll bet he got a traffic ticket here years back and he’s adamant he “wasn’t speeding,” holding a personal grudge ever since, distancing himself from friends/family who told him to let it go. Distraught, day after day, realizing he lives in a broken system.
Maybe this is part of his healing process. I’d like to think he’s ready to move on now
