I BATTLE 3 Artists to Remake Classic Art! (Again)

Oh, there's the other artist. How you guys doing? — Good. Happy to be here. — Good to see you. — What's up? — Okay, guys. We got a very special art battle for you today. Today, we are going to be remaking classic artworks in our own style. And I have three incredible artists here. We got David Miles. How you doing, David? — I'm doing great. Glad to be here. — David was actually the winner of the Tarsy Mythic guest art contest I held on my YouTube channel. He's a legendary artist. I can't wait to see what he makes for this battle. We also have Bryce aka Brazy Art. How you doing, Bryce? — Excited to be here. Really happy. — And Bryce was actually the second place finalist for that same competition. So, we have a rematch. We have a head-to-head battle between first and second. And lastly, I'm very honored to introduce an absolute legend of the street art game. We got Woes. How you doing, Wes? — What's up, man? Honored to be here, man. I'm excited for this. Never did anything like this. So, it's going to be fun, — bro. I'm so hyped to have you here. All three of these artists are absolutely epic. Their social media stuff is down in the description. Their Instagram, their YouTubes if they have one. Go check them out. Give them a follow cuz they're about to make some legendary art for you here today. So, we are going to be remaking some classic artwork. We're going to spin some wheels, get some prompts, go off and make our art, and in the end, we're going to come back together, and it's up to you, the audience, to vote on your favorite. There is a poll right now over on my post tab. You vote. You decide the winner. All right, you guys. Are you ready to jump into this? — Let's do it. — Let's go. — It's time for the wheels of doom. — Wo! — It looks so much bigger in person. It's huge. We upgraded. Did you get an upgrade? Is that bigger? — Yeah. Our last wheels of doom were breaking a lot. So my assistant Nick handm made these ones — with a little logo in the middle. That's sweet. — So this is the century wheel. It goes from the 1300s all the way to the 1900s. So this wheel is going to determine the century that our classic piece of art comes from. — Awesome. — Are you guys uh art history buffs? Do any of you know what any of this might be? — No, man. — Just as long as it's not cubism or something like that. I think we're going to have to do some research, but let's find out what century we are working with. Come on. The 1600s. — Oh, man. All right. — Here we go. — You know what's crazy? This is the second time we've done this battle. If memory serves me correctly, we it might have landed on the 1600s before. So, I might have a little leg up on you guys cuz I think I researched this time period already. Oh man, — that'll save you some time. — An unfair advantage. — 1600s. I don't even have any idea. — Nothing's coming to mind. — Nothing yet. — Ooh, goblet. — Goblet sounds very cool. — We have the random object wheel. We got all kinds. And whatever this lands on, we have to involve in our artwork in a big or small way. So the random object shall be come on a musical instrument. — Oo. — Okay. — That'll be fun. — I've definitely probably drawn a couple guitars, but something about this makes me want to try and draw something really interesting. Like an instrument no one's ever heard of. — Yeah, them instruments from the 1600s. Like the loot or something. — Oh yeah. Ooh, shark. Okay, the final wheel of doom is the animal wheel. Wos, don't worry, bro. I hooked you up. I put panda on here. I know. Wo is one of the coldest panda painters of all time, so I had to do it to him. The random animal will be Chipm. — Okay, cool. Hell yeah. We got 1600s. We got musical instrument. We got Chipmunk. This is going to be an absolutely insane battle. How are you guys feeling about these promps? — Be fun, man. I like the challenge. — I felt pretty confident until Chipmunk came in. That was kind of a curveball. So we'll figure it out, though. — I am legit nervous now. Just like what am I going to do? — All right, we have our prompts. We have our battle. It's time to go make some art. Good luck, gentlemen. — Thank you. — Good luck, y'all. — Okay, research time. I got to be honest, I'm a little bit disappointed that the wheel landed on 1600s cuz the last time we did this battle, it was also 1600s. So, I feel like I've seen a good chunk of the famous art from the 1600s. When I started researching, I was just saving anything that caught my eye. But when I went back to narrow down the pool of artwork that I've put together, I noticed that almost every single piece was from the exact same artist. — Wo is here. I am fighting a fever and a cold, but the show must go on. I'm really having fun researching an instrument from the 1600s. Being a DJ and a hip-hop head, I'm trying to go at

it with some kind of beat or track that would inspire my painting. — I realized that a lot of these guys are my favorite artists. So, I began to collect pieces and soon I had pieces and notes and lines drawn from each one and it looked like a crime scene investigation. So, instead of simplifying things, that just made things even more complicated. Maybe in the end it's cool to revisit the exact same century, but I'm going to jump back in and just enjoy some art. Basically, find something that speaks to me. — This is a really good challenge for me. Within the last year, I actually did lose my vision for a short time because of diabetes. I got my vision back, but I'm not 100%. Luckily, I'm nearsighted and I can still paint. So, you know, it's not a handicap. It's just another dent in my armor. In my own work, I tend to pull from classic historic imagery and symbolism because I feel like it gives the viewer an immediate sense of familiarity that you can either lean into or subvert in a really interesting way. — I remembered that I had taken a class oh probably 10 years ago with Thomas Fluy. He's a current living artist, but he does caricature and understands the Dutch Flemish way of painting. So, I learned a ton from it. And I'm kind of thinking that unplugging from the computer might be a good thing, but it could also hurt my chances in the competition because it's been like 10 years since I've done it. So, I'm going to get the paints out and see what happens. And chipmunks, I'm not really sure how chipmunks are going to fit into this, but I'll do my best. Watch out, guys. I'm coming for you. Okay, I looked through a bunch of art from the 1600s, and the one that I kind of landed on here is St. George and the Dragon by Peter Paul Rubin's. It was painted circa 1605 to607. Looking at the Wikipedia page here in the painting, this princess here in the background represents the church. The terrified lamb that she's kind of protecting represents the innocence and purity of Jesus Christ. St. George on his steed symbolizes good triumphing over evil. And the dragon signifies darkness or Satan. This is a crazy version of a dragon. I don't know how much I'm going to play into all of that uh religious symbolism or how much I'm going to play into the legend of St. George and the Dragon period, but I do have some fun ideas. It's a fun composition for me to kind of use as my home base. But this should be a fun challenge. Having like a strong beginning concept which is like literally dictated by this piece right here and then seeing how I can change it and flex it and break it is really fun versus like just starting out with a blank page and like staring into infinity and being like what am I going to do today? Like I know what step one is right here and then step two is where the adventure begins. So speaking of that, I think I'm going to take this and start working on my concept sketch. Heat. N. Okay, I got my sketch going here. Super feeling this. I like the way this one turned out. This one is more loosely inspired than previous classic art reinterpretations I've done. On previous ones, I've like traced the original and then replaced a bunch of it, erased kind of turned the exact composition into a piece of my art. This one, I just went like fully my style, sketched everything from scratch, looked at the painting, looked at my art, but a lot's different. But if Nick would be so kind as to put the sketch next to the original on the screen, you can definitely see the similarities, see the references, see what I was going for. And then the chipmunk has a battle drum for the musical instrument. And then I didn't film this part, but inside of Adobe Fresco, I went ahead and inked it. Also, in the inks, I added a little arrow into the dragon. Also changed a little bit of how the dragon's wings kind of wrap around the composition a little bit. I thought that was better. A little bit of editing takes place in the inking process. every step of the process. But that is my illustration. So, for my next step, I actually have to wait 2 days because there is a maker space at Lake Michigan College and they have a machine that I want to use on this project. But their next like maker day open house where it's open to the public is on Thursday. So, I got to wait a couple days here. But hopefully over in my workshop, I have a piece of wood and I can prepare that for this project. And I will see you guys in 2 days. So, right behind me is the LMC Fab Lab. They have a bunch of cool machinery in here, 3D printers and all kinds of jazz. But what I am looking for today is their CNC machine. — We're going to put it into the Shopbot software. — Joe here is the resident CNC guru and he

helped me get my vector file all set up inside of the software so we could send it over to the CNC machine. So, good old Joe is setting up the CNC machine for us with a 1/8 bit. He got all the computer stuff done. I'm about to load this piece of wood and the way it'll cut. The machine goes around and around my shape, maybe cutting out like a quarter of the wood each time. Once it gets down to the last pass, it leaves these little tabs here so that it's not completely cut out and the piece of wood won't shift while it's still cutting. Then we use the chisel to pop those tabs. And my cut was done. Got it. All right. Huge shout out to the LMC Fab Lab. Now back to the studio. First, we indulged in a little bit of everyone's favorite pastime, some good old sanding. Then, I busted out one of the most slept on and underrated art supplies, good old gesso. I'm going to gesso the front of this and the back of this to seal the wood and prep my surface for painting. Then, I hit the back of the piece with just some black spray paint and installed some hanging hardware. And with all that done, it's time to project it. I hooked my laptop up to the projector and opened my file in Photoshop so that I could transform my art and skew it to match the shape of this weird wood. Everything went pretty smoothly except for when my screen saver would randomly turn on. But besides that, I traced my artwork and got my image transferred onto this wood cutout. And the last thing to do was to tone this piece with a light wash. This cuts down on the brightness of the gesso and makes it easier to determine my colors when they're not sitting on pure white. Okay, well that was an epically huge amount of prep work, but I got my panel cut out. The back is painted. The sides are painted. The sketch is on there. It's toned. Yeah. So, I guess that means it's time to start painting. Yo, imagine if all the other artists just randomly did wood cutouts, too. How trippy would that be for the final reveal? I wonder what those other artists are making. Probably something awesome. But I feel like I went pretty ambitious on this one. We got a unique piece of art here. So, without further ado, let's get painting. While I finally get started on the first bits of painting on this crazy art piece, I'm going to let you know this video is brought to you by Squarespace.

You're artist, so you have to draw. — I'm an artist, so I paint. — What's going on, Dave? I'm calling in to check on my competition. How's the progress on the battle going? — It's been rough. I've gone through so many paintings to recreate and uh I settled on one and then I couldn't figure out if the one I settled on is a reproduction of another painting. So, — was it painted in the 1600s? — Yeah. I mean, I'm going to totally destroy it anyway. — Do you primarily work digital? — Yep. Primarily digitally, but about 10 years ago, I took a Dutch Flemish painting course. So, I'm going to try to paint in that style. — Oo, I'm excited. You won the tar contest. How you feeling about your chances on this? — Part of me was thinking I should have just said no because now Oh, there's the guy who won, but then he lost the art battle. So, — well, good luck to you. I can't wait to see what you make. The final reveal call is coming up here shortly, so we both have some work to do. Okay, I'm about 30% done painting this piece. This one is particularly tricky because every element is kind of intertwining and overlapping and some sections are behind but then that same character will come in front. I usually like to work back to front. But like the dragon is kind of in the back but then its mouth goes to the very front and then its wings kind of wrap around to the front. The chipmunk is like its tail is in the back and its face is in the front. And like I'm sitting here wasting a bunch of time just trying to think about the most efficient way to paint this painting. And there really isn't an answer to this problem. So I think I just got to go character by character and then I might have to like cut back and it's a tricky one. This composition is kind of wild. But it is going to be hopefully a cool piece. I am really digging the way that it looks so far. Pretty crazy. It's going to be a cool one. Will it be cool enough to defeat my opponents? Probably not. Doesn't matter. Having fun making art. Let's battle.

I'm just calling to check in on my fellow art battler. How's the progress going? — It's really pushing me. It's been a while since I got into something like this type of format cuz I actually wasn't painting for almost a year. So, trying to get back into the swing of things. Uh, — it's going really well. I'm excited with kind of the story that I came up with and kind of reinterpreting the piece. — How's it been working those prompts in there? — Honestly, it was a little tricky at first, especially the chipmunk. That was kind of a curveball, but I think I found a cool way to work it in. — Chipmunk's easy cuz I I'm normally like to paint animals, especially animals that have like chubby cheeks and [ __ ] So, I love that it landed on an instrument because, you know, I'm a huge music head. — Have you ever done like a flip on another piece of art or something like that? Yeah, I actually really enjoy pulling from kind of historical imagery. So, there's a couple of uh pieces that I've done that. Like my favorite one is kind of like the creation of Adam with like the two hands meeting in the middle. That's a fun one. But yeah, I pull from imagery a lot. — I'm so used to painting, you know, my character with my vision and stuff. It takes longer for me to like getting into the swing of painting other things cuz there's no muscle memory there. I have to go back into like my illustration mode when I was a kid and like really get into like trying to build something from like scratch. reinterpreting something that already exists is just like such a strong starting point cuz when there's something familiar for people to latch on to, they're like, "Oh, I know that original and this is like such a crazy wild variation of it. " — You can kind of lean into that or sometimes it's fun to kind of subvert it. So, if like a piece is referencing something darker, you can kind of make it a lighter tone or vice versa. — What do you think your chances are on this battle? — Oh man, I don't even want to guess. I'm just going to put my best foot forward and hopefully I can at least compete. — Oh man, I'm just stoked to be in this battle. the caliber of works that I've seen from these other artists. It's totally like outside my box, you know? But, um, hopefully what I got, it it'll bring some heat, you know what I mean? Okay, my painting is done. This thing is looking seriously cool. I absolutely love the way that this turned out. Now, I think what I want to do is elevate this so it floats off the wall a little bit. So, I'm going to cut like maybe four squares of wood that are around 2 in. I'll sand those down a little bit. Then, I'm going to paint them black. I will wood glue them to the back of the board here. Tape those down while they dry so they stay in place. And with that step done, I think I'm going to epoxy resin this thing. Shout out TotalBoat. I hit them up when I started this project and said, "I need some epoxy. " And they said, "We got you, dog. " And open. Oh, yeah. Okay. They sent me some artist resin. Maker epoxy. They sent me some table top. I have used this before and I know it works well. I don't have time to test out every one of these, but I am excited to try out this artist resin in the future. But let's go with some Maker epoxy here. Get to mixing, get to pouring, get to winning. So, we're trying to get to that two line. Nailed it. Now, hardener. Now, we want to go to the four line. Okay. Set a timer for 5 minutes. Now we mix. While I mix this up, I'm going to let you know that I have a sale going on where you get 40% off your first month of my t-shirt of the month club. I design a new shirt every month. It's 20% cheaper than my normal shirts. Plus, you get a free sticker. And with the sale, it's 40% off of the already 20% off. Do you want compliments when you go into a coffee shop? My t-shirts will get that for you. 10h. shop. If you have crippling anxiety and you hate when people talk to you, don't sign up because random people will just be like, "Hey, nice shirt, bro. " But if you enjoy a little random compliment throughout the day, definitely do sign up. — If you have crippling anxiety and you don't want to have crippling anxiety anymore, you got to exposure therapy. — Yeah, if you want some exposure therapy and get used to short conversations with strangers, sign up for the t-shirt of the month club. Oh, the timer's done. Now we switch it to a second vessel. My alarm is still going off and annoying me. Nice teamwork, baby. Set a timer for 3 minutes. Here we go again. Anyway, like I was saying about the teacher. Okay, mixing is complete. Come on into my crib. Now for the moment of truth, the pour. Okay, looking good. I think that's looking pretty good. Where'd my heat gun go? Usually the torch works better for me, but let's try the heat gun. Also, this plastic is very thin underneath. Yeah, I'm switching to the torch. That's working way better. Wo! Just melted the plastic. Is that

just a chunk of something? And now we wait. Oh my goodness. There they are. My fierce competitors, I have been so excited for this moment. How you guys doing? — Good. — Feeling good. — Been doing good. Are you guys ready to just jump right into this? I can't wait to see what you guys got. — I'm a little nervous. — Let's do it. — I got this bucket right here. Inside of here is all of your names. Let's see who's going to present their artwork first. The first artist shall be brazy. Oh no. First. — Okay. This is the original piece. This is the one I chose. — That's ambitious. Oh my goodness, — that's crazy, — dude. That was wild. All right, — so this piece is called The Fall of Fyatin by Peter Paul Rubin's. It's a super classic mythological story of Fyatin, his dad, which his dad is Helios, the sun god. He stole his chariot and is kind of laying waste to the world. And this is kind of the scene of him getting struck down by Zeus. So the story that I kind of wanted to tell was weaving in the musical instruments is — wo so cool. the conductor and he's chasing his own ambitions and that is him being kind of lost by his own ambition and losing the rest of his orchestra, chasing his own pride and self- ambition. So, this piece depicts that moment of him falling. And if you can see, he's looking up towards right here, which is the chipmunk. — Oh, I wondered what that was. That is cool. — A chipmunk represents finding joy in small moments. So, he should be focusing on finding joy in creating art with his fellow, you know, musicians in the orchestra. but he isn't and he's focused on his own pride and in self-importance and so he's falling away from that. The rest of the orchestra is looking to him for guidance and — oh my gosh, — they're letting him down. — That line work is so crazy. — That's insane. — Some little Easter eggs we have. Here's Dave right here, — dude. No. Yes, — I made it. — We got 1000. — Let's go. — That's dope. — We got Wo. — Oh man. — And I played the trombone in high school. So this is me. — That's amazing. And then the audience is down here in the bottom, too. — Yeah, they look like statues. — That's my piece. — Super sick. The line work is obviously super crazy. There's so much to look at. The color scheme is really nice. I feel like I could just look at this for the next hour. You definitely went in. I mean, the original painting was insanely ambitious. And you said, "Oh, we have to do a musical instrument. " Okay, I choose all of them. — A whole ass orchestra. — The whole band is in there. I love the way you made that chipmunk light up. The striations of light around there. So cool. — That's crazy, dude. Oh my gosh. We could just take the next 40 minutes of the video and talk about all these different details. — I could see this as a mural at the Denver airport. — Yeah. A little dark, but kind of hidden under the surface a little bit. — It's so cool. — That's a tough act to follow. Good job, Brazy. Oh my gosh. — Real dope, man. — Thank you. Thank you, guys. — All right, the next artist shall be me. Oh my goodness. I have to follow that. So this is my piece. Also — also on the Peter Paul Rubin's tip. This is St. George and the dragon. We got old Georgie here riding his mighty steed slaying a dragon. — That is a really ambitious piece as well. — So this is — Oh man. — No way. No way. — So cool, — dude. Holy crap. That is awesome. That's uh Sir George here. He's riding a giant chipmunk and he is slaying the dragon. Dragon has his like rainbow colored eggs and his money horde and it's a wood cutout and I epoxy resined it. Yeah. Let me switch to the digital image cuz this is kind of hard. — Is it 3D or is it flat? A flat painting? — Yeah, it's a wood cutout. I took it to a CNC machine. I drew it up and then I had it like lasered out. So, this is the photo of it. Previously, when I have done recreations of traditional art, I've stuck to the original super duper closely. And with this one, I was like, let me just like take the loose composition and the loose story line and then just like 10 hunt it out hella hard and just go like my classic style. And for that reason, I think it's one of my like favorite pieces I've done. I really like the way this one turned out. — I love how the dragon is just kind of intertwined with that chipmunk. And they're just going at it. Yeah, this one was actually really hard to paint cuz I usually like to work sort of like back to front, you know, starting with the elements furthest in the background, but like literally every character is in the back and in the front. It's very like intertwined up with each other. So, it made it kind of challenging to paint it from an efficiency standpoint. — The way you rendered it out, it looks almost like a sculpture. It looks three-dimensional. It's kind of hard to imagine that's just a flat wood panel. — Yeah. I mean, it floats out from the wall a little bit. So, on the back, I actually got some LED strip lights and I installed some lights on the back. So, I wanted to show you guys this, which is kind of a video of the actual piece on the wall and it kind of just like glows from the — nice — and it changes all the colors. But it does have some depth to it where I've like mounted these little pegs on the

back. So, that is mine. — Slaughtered, man. — Both you guys slayed it. Really cool. — Unreal. — All right. Glad I got that out of the way. The next artist shall be David. Okay, here we go. So, I kind of got stuck on the whole chipmunk thing and I started with Alvin and the Chipmunks and like for several days I could not get that out of my head and then my brother-in-law mentioned the kear. He's like, "Why don't you throw a kear in there? " So, I'm like, "All right. " So, this is the loot player and it is by Theodore Rombout. And so, I was going to put a kear in his hand and um this is my sketch. So, this is a tale of the art battling the artist. I had a rough time here. So, this was my plan. I was going to cross this with Boingo Boingo's weird science. So, I was singing that a lot. We got the chipmunk kind of come out here and the mad scientist. And so, I was going to paint this in oils and uh something happened with my gesso on this one and it was mixing with the background paint. So, it blew up. Yeah. So, that was like a week ago. I was like, this is not working cuz it's not — That's crazy. — So, then my next idea was I need to start over. Uh so, this is Mal Babs painted by Friends Hall, I believe. — That one's awesome, too. — She's just kind of a caricature of a woman in a bar. She's probably a drunkard. In fact, the owl represents folly or drunkenness. And I was like, "Okay, I can do this. I love caricature and I love this loose style. " And it also kind of emphasizes that light and dark thing. So, I attempted to paint again. And this is as far as I got with this one. This is like last night. So, — that was last night. You were just starting? — No, it was a couple. I got I painted this last night. I finished it up. — Wa. So, this is the final piece. — Yeah. This is the This is where as far as I got. — That's so good. This is awesome. — I felt like the art is killing me here. But I really love the light effect that they can get through light and dark. And you just uh when you see a painting from that time period, it really glows. So, I'm all set up. I'm going to do this again. But this was a battle. — Is this digital or traditional? — Oh, I have it here. There we go. After seeing your uh epic battle pieces, I felt like the dragon. You know, the chipmunk was chewing on my neck — when I said, "Do you want to be in an art battle? " Oh, you were like, "Oh, yeah, the art is going to battle me, right? " — Yeah. Well, it's it turned out that way. — It looks amazing, though. And if you look at your reference, like the tankered or flask or whatever that old timey beer vessel is called, like some of the elements of the metal are like a single stroke. Like the lid of that is like three colors of gray and some black. And then like the highlights are like one stroke of white. And yours also maintains that looseness. So maybe you wish you had more time to like fully render it out or flesh it out or whatever, but like you're paying homage to that original style with like single stroke stuff. And then the stuff that needs to be rendered really well, like the face and the chipmunk and the mug are indeed rendered well, while the stuff where the viewer's eye is not as required is a bit more loose. And I love that about it. Looks awesome. Dude, you're you're down on yourself way too hard cuz it looks sick. — I love the caricature on like the face and then the chipmunk. Oh my gosh, so much energy. The piece you held up is an underpainting and then you finish it digitally. Is that what's going on? — Yeah. Yep. I took a class on this type of painting. But this is like 10 years ago. But it's like, you know, it's like anything else. If you haven't done something in 10 years, it's probably going to take you a little while to warm up to it again. — The lighting is dope on you. — Do you have that mug? — Oh, yeah. — So, wait, did you say that's a self-portrait? — Yeah. My daughter came down here and she's cracking up. She's like, "You don't look like that. " — I think it's pretty accurate. That's not I really love caricature as well and it's something I'm not very good at. So I don't know why I chose to do two things that are hard for me in an art battle. But uh — well you can just tell how technically talented you are from this piece and also the piece that we saw from you in the Tarsy contest of just like your understanding of light and shadows and you're such a talented artist, man. It looks absolutely incredible. Killer work. All right. Ooh, this is a good ass battle right now, yo. Oh my gosh. And Wo has to close it out. — So this the first battle I'm in and it totally flew over my head. The prompts and stuff. So I didn't actually base my piece off of actual classical painting. I pulled inspiration from classical painters from the Edeto period of Japan. I was looking up instruments for my painting like the Cotto or the Gujan. And then I landed on a shamasen, which is like a three string guitar that comes with a paddle kind of like a Japanese banjo. The whole time I don't know why, like it just went over my head, like trying to base it off of actual certain painting. So there, you know, there's Mousashi, uh, Hokusai, like these classic painters that did either paintings or wood prints. And I just like the roughness of backgrounds and just how the paintings looked. Yeah. So, I did my version of a Japanese style etto period painting. Dude, — man, that is cool. — Super dope. Yeah, I love those instruments. What' you say it was called again? What's that instrument called?

— Shamasan. — Dude, the pose on that is so dope. That's so cool. — He's so well drawn and the way his fabric is flowing. You can just tell he's in motion. — Got the little spitting. — Yeah, that's sweet. That's a good touch. — The one thing I did get wrong with the period is the sword. cuz uh the straight sword was more like a ninja type sword, but that was like from the 10th century. After that, Samurai had the sword with the curve. — So, you pulled inspiration from the 1600. — Yeah. — Like the armor and the costumes and the instrument and stuff. — Mhm. — And like the traditional wood block printing like you know that piece by Hawkai called the wave. You're saying you're inspired kind of by that wood block printing style and the vertical with like your tag kind of looking like the old artist prints or whatever. — Even painting the Mount Fuji in the back. It's more simplified rather than like a actual mountain, you know? — Yeah, I like the snow for that reason, too. And you got a little bit of almost like blurry spray paint effects creating snow. — It was a challenge for sure cuz, you know, trying to get back in the swing of things and I was looking at all you guys art and you guys are super insane with it.
