Eat. The. Rich. (hexbear.net)

And I cannot stress this enough: bury their bones in an unmarked ditch.

Those are original Warhol boxes. Two Brillos, a Motts and a Campbells tomato soup. Multiple millions worth of original art, set on the floor by the front door.

Theres a regular customer whom i do plumbing work for, for the last 3 or 4 years. These belong to her. She also has Cherub Riding a Stag, and a couple other Warhols that i cannot identify, along with other originals by other artists that i also cannot identify. I have to go back to her house this coming Monday, i might get photos of the rest of her art, just so i can figure out what it is.

Even though i dont have an artistic bone in my entire body, i can appreciate art. I have negative feelings on private art like this that im too dumb to elucidate on.

eat the fucking rich. they are good for nothing.

he was an artist who made work about racism class struggle and colonialism and daily black life. ill keep it short, he met andy when he was 22 and warhol was 30 years older and super controlling of his carrer and personal life and romantic relationships. now he was bi but theres no proof of their romatic relationship but it was widly speculated because of how they behaved in public. andy got Basquiat mixed up in drugs and parting and then did nothing to help his "protgie" and would make him get back to work. it was a super toxic relationship and Basquiat overdosed a year after andy died. i think any warhol ruined his life personally.

I genuinely love his work now that I've seen more of it and I dislike Andy Warhol even more now that you educated me. agony-deep

This deserves its own thread. In fact I'm going to make it now.

I hope someone crops out “ASBESTOS ASBESTOS ASBESTOS” and submits it as an emoji under “:obnoxious-liberals:”
