How do you create art in the face of so much criticism and hate and being so bad at things in the beginning?

Okay, Bestie.

Chill out.

Rude.

You could have stopped several words ago.

No, but I mean, you know, you always just go for it, you know?

You're willing to just try stuff and I feel like I get paralyzed at the idea of being bad or being perceived and then I blink and five years have gone by and I've done nothing.

Okay.

Have you ever seen Hokusai's The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife painting?

No.

You definitely know Hokusai.

He created one of the most iconic images in history, the Great Wave off Kanagawa.

It's that Japanese tidal wave image that's in like every sushi restaurant and white boy's house next to like his samurai sword collection.

So anyway, Hokusai made that, but like 15 years prior, he made The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife.

What am I, what is, what, what, what does this have to do with anything?

Okay, so what you're looking at is a woman being pleasured by a daddy-son cephalopod duo.

But I want to direct your attention to the background where you see like a ton of Japanese right now.

I'm going to translate what this Japanese says.

Oh no.

So the large octopus is saying, your bobo is ripe and full, how wonderful, to suck and suck and suck some more, all eight limbs to intertwine with, how do you like it this way?

Ooh, look, the inside has swollen, moistened by the warm waters of lust.

The super hot bestie here is saying, "You're sucking at the mouth of my womb, makes me gasp for breath.

Ah, yes, it's there.

With the sucker, the sucker, inside, squiggle, squiggle, ooh, ooh, good, ooh, good, there, there, good.

Ah, yes, it tingles now, soon there will be no sensation at all left in my hips, ooh, boundaries and borders gone, I've vanished.

Sir.

Now the tiny bestie here is saying, "After daddy finishes, I too want to rub and rub my suckers at the ridge of your furry place until you disappear and then I'll suck some more, choo choo, which is like kissy noises."

This is in a museum.

It's in the British Library in London.

So, if you ever doubt yourself, just remember, this man created the original tentacle corn in 1814 and then he went off to become one of the most celebrated artists of all time because he drew like the ocean.

So your art, it's, it's probably fine.

Wow, okay, that is not where I expected this video to go.

But it worked, right?

Honestly, yeah, yeah, it did.

I don't, I don't think I'm going to overthink my art anytime soon after knowing that this, this exists.

You know, it's really interesting.

The Japanese title for this piece is actually called Takoto Ama, which means the octopus and the shell diver.

And there's a debate in the artistic community that the Western translation, The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife, actually robs this woman of her agency and dilutes the painting's true message.

Don't fuck your co-workers.

Yeah, definitely got that message from looking at that.

Imagine if we fought about porn titles like this.

Oh, Raiders of the Lost Ass.

Focuses too much on the raiders, not enough on the ass.

Men in Back.

Why aren't we centering this on whose back it is?

Inspect Her Gadget.

That one passes the Bechdel test, and I like the implication that she's just got a really great toy.

Pulp Friction.

Services both parties.

Position Impossible.

Equal representation.

The hills have thighs.

Indeed they do.

Willy Wanker.

We love a self-love message.

Cherry Poppins.

An innocent coming of age between two consenting parties.

Chitty Chitty Gang Bang.

Alludes to the community.

Big Trouble in Little Vagina.

Okay, now I know this is getting ridiculous, and I already know that no sponsor is going to sign off on this, so this video is just for me.

It's just for me.

It's just for us.

And it's probably gonna get banned on the internet, it's gonna get shadow banned, but you gotta know about it.

And now you're never gonna stop thinking about it, just like I don't.

I think about it every day.

I'm not even making any money on this, let's be real.

I paid to make this.

I paid to make this video.

I lost money bringing this message to you.

You're welcome.

So... - Every video costs three grand.

Subscribe, I guess. I don't know.
