"Fear and loathing in Las Vegas" Speedpainting

[jackslasho]

The mars volta kick ass, as does Fear and Loathing

[Hawkeyeharley]

Nice work, I have to say the music really makes the vid pop.

[TheTrohl]

What's the name of the song?

[oOBNOo]

Very awesome job man.

[EpicMargo]

awesome :D

[watcher173]

this music really doesn't suit the sound of the 60's Fear and loathing did,

good job on the artwork though.

[MathcoreMatt]

nice

[buckfushes]

What are we doing out here in the middle of the fucking desert!?

[captwasabi]

Mars Volta are douche bags for wanting to be paid for use of their intellectual property?

Perhaps you'r the douche-bag for not knowing trademark law?

[chrispalmo]

@captwasabi go suck walt disney's cock. copyright my ass

[captwasabi]

@chrispalmo Vulgarity does not excuse your lack of knowledge of the law nor does it excuse your desire to steal from others. Die in a fire.

[chrispalmo]

@captwasabi

Please pardon my vulgarity.

I do understand the law, and do realise that it is being broken here.

That said, copyright law is justified as an assurance that "good quality" artists get paid and have the rescourses to continue to produce high quality art. In reality, it has the opposite effect. Copyright law kills art.

[captwasabi]

@chrispalmo No it doesn't. It inspires art. By knowing that your hard work is protected and that it won't be stolen and used for profit by another person you are inspired to create those works.

[chrispalmo]

@captwasabi

Where is the connection between the sense of security and prospect of steady income and artistic inspiration?

Money does not equal artistic inspiration. It equals economic prospect.

Art is art. Money is money. Money doesnt inspire true art, and should not be used as an excuse to discourage artists from creating

[chrispalmo]

@captwasabi

When coldplay wrote viva la vida, they based the main melody on a tiny snippet of a joe satriani guitar solo, which resulted in an original, new song, unlike anything joe satriani would have written. If it werent for those 20 seconds of improvised ingenuity from joe, we wouldnt have viva la vida. And that isnt to discredit coldplay because they created true art which, in the opinion of many, is alot better than the song from which their inspiration came.

[captwasabi]

@chrispalmo "which resulted in an original, new song, unlike anything joe satriani would have written" First, you have no possible way with which to support that claim. Second, if you don't like how the law is set up work to change it. Don't just feel that you can say fuck the law because that logic works to my benefit when I want to beat the shit out of some one but the law says I can't but I feel that I can just break that pesky law.

[ThatSceneHippie]

We can't stop here this is bat country! ;3

[sargebaker]

Mars Volta aren't even worth illegally downloading... Scataa!

[SuckmyJockable]

I'm more into Dr Thompson's writing work rather then the illustrator's Drawing the book was amazing to read not look at but still nice job

[onceuponthecross]

sorry i just read the description :D

[onceuponthecross]

kewl!

what is the song?

[portugesebreakfast]

Excellent job Matthew. If I had 7 or 8 hours I would not be able to so well represent this,one of Steadman's seminal works. Everyone,repeat after me: "Matthew had mad skills!" Don't be shy join in,because it feels so goddamn good. Come on you filthy jackals,pipe up for chrissakes!!!

[raunchbear]

pretty cool

[raggamuffin06]

Cool, it's hard to say how long Ralph himself would have taken. his lines are so quirky and impulsive looking. He's amazing with ink!

[pudinthehood]

this is great!

[aeunuchsthroat]

Awesome job, sir.

[JimmyCasper]

Great work man, if that took you a week i would have been impressed; two hours - blown away. Keep it up.

[littlepinkgun]

i thought this song was by Stars of Track and Field....

[RASVAKEITINv23]

The painting is nice but I noticed one little thing that's wrong in it. The steering wheel is on the right side.

[thebedtimestory]

Um.. No it isn't.

[ShutUpNtellMe]

@thebedtimestory Yes it is.

[thebedtimestory]

@ShutUpNtellMe  Is it on the right? Yes. Is it wrong? No it's not. Take a look at the cover of the criterion dvd.

[polamidone]

@thebedtimestory è splendido è splendido è splendido è splendido

[howardb02]

[howardb02]

[thcsabinad]

@RASVAKEITINv23

Youre right. 

[Seppow92]

[Dalistjohn]

Thank god you credited Ralph Steadman have you ever seen his other work?  You seem to be quite talented and also slightly bent.

[FezzickO]

wow I wish I had more patience like you to do that :P

[z0mgeomge]

that doesn't sound like portugal the man

[limepinkjello]

isn't this 'century' by stars of track and field? anyway, portugal. the man is awesome, by the way. kicked it with them in austria a few months back, really cool cats. you should do a sound of animals fighting speedpainting. this stuff you're doing is pretty badass... and lol deftones. lol. =]

[bartbonjasky]

amazing skills...

[CBamProductions]

This song sucks cock.Hate the whole YouTube copyright thing

[Strome88]

hmmm....looks EXACTLY like steadman's...IDK.

[wacobites]

Love it!

Great song choice, too. :)

[MatthewTheShortKid]

WOW! what a good job nice vid 5 star

[maddanist]

GREAT work!

[mirkronin]

Wow that's sweet! :) I like it a lot.

Keep it up!

[jhassan46]

such a legit video...what is the name of the Portugal. The Man song playing in the background

[streetkarpftw]

Hahha i love that you had to change the song from volta to portugal..ive been a volta fan since 04 and i agree..they have grown to be big douche bags..its what success does to a good band..portugal on the other hand are awesome guys and amazing musicians..keep up the good work man..your stuff is amazing.

[supermario2100]

Steadman is awesome. I really like his art. You might not like the band too much, but doing a speedpainting video of the cover from Dance gavin Dance's first EP, Whatever I Say is Royal Ocean, or, for more of a challenge, their new self-titled cd. Either way, you definately have some sort of talent, as I see digital art like tis more difficult than traditional art in some ways.

[thebedtimestory]

I love Dance Gavin Dance, I have downtown battle mountain playing almost constantly, but I need More of a challenge than some high contrast buildings these days. Im currently making Edward And Bella From Twilight for my girlfriend, and I believe that will rake in the viewers. Literally, with a rake.

[TheForgottenPanzer]

wow nice job !

[the1andonly8]

hheeeyyy this is liike my 2nd fav band and ii saw ur circa survive videos u should definetly do somethin wit deftones too but this one is badass juss liike the other ones thanks for the posts man :D

[thebedtimestory]

Deftones? I would rather bludgeon off my drawing arm with a rusty hammer. haha

[the1andonly8]

wow umm it was jus a suggestion man no need to fliing out insults liike that im juss sayiin maybe there r other bands album covers that u could do too

[kcazn23]

deftones is the shit fuckbag

[thebedtimestory]

If you don't share my opinions,get off my page and go touch yourself to a Deftones video.

[revolutionary007]

WOWOWOWOWOW

[hoosierfan04]

not bad man...ill give it a 4.5...steadman is truly great/...

[moroso]

don't sign it like it's your work, it's ralph steadman's. you phony

[thebedtimestory]

Go fuck yourself asshole, I drew it, so I signed it. I have the right to sign my own renditions of someone elses work. I never claim to have created it, and if you took the time to read the description, you'd see that I gave Ralph Steadman proper credit.

Go outside, do something with your life. I would insult you further, but I pity your intelligence.

[thebedtimestory]

And just so we're clear, what I have done in this video comes closer to creation than posting David Lynch videos in hopes that people will watch them. You didn't direct those videos, so don't post them up like you did, you phony.

[moroso]

this really made me laugh

:P

[thebedtimestory]

Me too, you're a riot.

[alexpoulin]

you're very talented and I enjoy watching your projects keep em coming, i'd like to work on something with you sometime, if the gods want.

[GBazillionStudios]

Haha I saw that movie... didn't like it..

[VargTheSecond]

your an idiot
