Anthem is pretty hollow these days.

wow! such a strong voice
teardropivyyearofthetiger
It’s VERY common for artists to learn to paint or draw upside down. To do it this quickly with three colors would have to be practiced like crazy!
PorneliusHubertII
This screams volumes about the lack of attention span these days. Subway surfers ass shit.
dripstone
why does the US anthem reference this guy named 'Jose'?
CHARCHIMUS
yeah thats pretty nifty :D
itsallaboutthecones
The guy singing was really refreshing too. Good voice, tone, control and not over done.

I kept waiting for it to get better. Did not disappoint

Do events for a living. Never worked with this guy but most have a light tracing on the paper.

Does anyone else feel like this gimmick is wildly disrespectful to do during the national anthem? Isn’t the idea to have a moment of reverence? I find this showmanship to be awful. I thought kneeling in protest showed reverence while still making an important point. Why isn’t this painter guy being harassed for not showing respect?

Talent combined with excellent (muscle)memory! ... good stuff!

As a French, with all my love, you don't deserve her right now. Take back your country from the Nazis.
FraudulentPepsi
This has been a thing for a couple decades, and it went real viral around 2010. For a few years it was very trendy and you would see it everywhere.

Your sorcery no longer works on me, upside down paitners.
glocksout
This is actually a practiced skill
UnexpectedItem
It's practice. I hate how much the word talent gets used in a way that makes people feel like skill development, planning, strategy, and practice don't exist because of some random lottery. It's good, but the guy had to bust his ass to get that way along several skill domains. Sorry, "talent" ends up demotivating more people than it helps.
Redshadow09
Seriously how do people paint upside down and make the final product look awesome? I feel like its more of a Flex but is there a science or technic or something that makes painting upside down "better" or Is it more of a flex?
AveryB
There is a smidge of something science-adjacent. When first learning to draw students are often given excercises where they draw from an upside-down image, as it helps your brain see and copy just the shapes rather than the image.
That's not really what's happening here, though. This guy has practiced this painting dozens of times and has memorized what shapes go where. He may also have a faint outline to follow.
NeverEnoughFoxes
I'm sure it was quite practiced but it's still impressive to pull off under actual pressure in front of an audience!

This needs more upvotes so it saves everybody from wasting their time.

One day, her torch will shine all the brighter
license2kilt
Is it talent? Certainly, but the speed comes from repetition. Performers like this have a repertoire of a handful of paintings that they practice and perform repeatedly to the point they become muscle memory.
The part that I find curious is the subject of these paintings is almost always patriotic and/or Christian.
snowshinedog
The first one I saw back in the 90's was Hendrix.
Shouldhavethoughtthisthroughabitbetter
The first one I saw was a vid of a guy on a beach paint bruce lee. was pretty cool to watch.
medimr
Oh fuck off. I had absolutely no idea what the hell he was doing until he turned it over.
CheeseB0t
Was obvious shortly after he added the white paint
ramarins
Been done so many times, I flipped my phone half way through
Hellbat666
Yeah really… the whole time I’m like wtf? This is just crap! Oh… OH!!! This is Talent… lol hahahahaha🤯
MadamPuddifoot
I could tell but only coz of the amazing singer, context clues gave it away.
crypresthesia
I guessed it about the time he finished the liberty spikes cause of the context.
MadamPuddifoot
I could tell the negative space when he was doing the blue. Doubted myself for a second with some of the red, but then I saw the face when he started doing the white. Either way, major talent, both him and the singer. No one's giving him props, but the national anthem is a HARD song to sing and he did it beautifully.
zer0vector
This is more impressive than anything an AI has ever done
RuBisCO1
Even better than disproving the Jacobian conjecture?
FartingWiener
LeekofLegend
True, even though they have been caught as a fake and the board has light pencil outlines. Plus the practice. But it's a real creation nonetheless and wins by default
Sebastopol140
Oh, so it's cheating!! (but AI is worse than cheating)
LeekofLegend
It's one of those weird dumb things, like they are still doing it and it's still cool, but they are creating an illusion of skill they don't possess. It's a show. To their credit they are trying to make live art more exciting. But it does seem like you need to have a hook or gimmick or tiddies to get your art noticed these days
Snowman25
I firmly believe that painting something upside down is just looking very impressive, but actually not that hard to do once you've practiced just a little bit (provided you can paint at all)
scotcherton
I love it when people who cannot do something make statements like this about the thing they cannot do.
figuringeights
Actually it can be even easier because it forces you to focus on the shapes you have to make rather than what the shapes you think you need are. Since your brain fills out predictive information automatically you end up struggling against this when painting right side up.
AyrA
Same with writing upside down. Had to fill out a form once where the top half is filled in by the government employee and the bottom half by me. While doing so at the window, she just casually filled in her part as if it was the most normal thing ever (probably was for her). What annoyed me was that her part was still easier to read than my handwriting.
LinkHouseMan
Same with playing guitar behind your back. My dad loved to do that live, but told me it was exactly the same as playing it normally (but it looks impressive)
Blud4BludGod
Whoa your dad was Jimi Hendrix?
SarcasticComment
yup. my corp has 2 of his works and they are okay. I'm sure his doing them on stage is fun, but this is hardly original as we have a Statue of Liberty as well.
WhatzitTooya
Can be even easier painting it that way. What an odd topic to have experience in it...
Wapusk
And this guy has probably practiced that series of discrete brush strokes a thousand times. Muscle memory at this point.
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
Painting skillfully quickly is the talent. Flipping it upside down is showmanship. Gives a really big "wow" moment when people realize what they're seeing.
MakeItBackAlright
It's actually easier for a lot of people. An early artist exercise is to turn (and paint) a subject upside down because it stops you from painting what your mind "sees" and instead focus on the shapes, what your eye sees.
Vortain
Absolutely. Doesn't give the uninitiated audience time to realize what is going on, not even a full couple of minutes. It pays off for those who are curious and trying to figure out what is going on.
SteveTheEgg
I actually read it's a legit method that allows the brain to process shapes better, especially when doing faces. I haven't tried it, but it does seem to be popular.
JaceTiger
Especially for speed painting
Fayen
It trains your brain to 'draw what you see', instead of drawing how you think it's supposed to look.
It's really helpful, I've done it a few times and I was pleasantly surprised when I turned my piece right side up.
AveryB
It's a gimmick, a party trick. You learn the shapes and paint them, the canvas being upside down doesn't matter. It takes practice, yes, but it's not an especially impressive talent. There are lot of street artists doing it. Which isn't to knock them, creating an entertaining performance is still something
DynamoJoeHoHo
Wanker
HighSorcerer
Yeah, the talent is in the painting it at all. Doing it upside down is just for fun.
Dimind
There are usually lines predrawn as well. This requires not only little talent, but little skill as well.
