Vincent Van Who?

Than she can rest knowing that maybe long after she is dead, billionaires will trade in her paintings and hoard them in tax free zones at airports as ways to hide their money from the IRS.

My dream legacy
So question, I understand the whole using art as a money laundering/asset/what have you with the freeports etc. But as an artist, could I just team up with a crew of friendly millionaires and just have them buy my art at exorbitant prices to drive up it's perceived market value, and just slip the initial investors a majority of their payment back?
- This is.. already what fine art is

Out of all the painters in this tweet, van Gogh was the second most successful. That's gotta count for something.

I used to be a pretty famous ASCII artist. Actually made money from it. I made enough money to cover all of my art school education and every art supply I'd ever bought. Which means I'm a successful artist.

My ex had my old phone number. I got a message from her to check her voicemail. And then I got a message that she hated me. The voicemail was offering me a job as an ASCII artist. She hated me because I always seem to make money off of the absolute dumbest hobbies. I respected her for saying that.

Living the fucking dream, though. I salute you!

Is this true? Because he didn't deal with selling his paintings, that was his brother Theo's job (an art dealer). The arrangement they had was Theo would finance Vincents art life while Vincent would send him all his art. They were both very happy to do this arrangement and frequently wrote to eachother often. In fact the main reason van Gogh is so famous is because of all these letters which allowed us to learn about Vincents life and tragic end.

Why did she only capitalize a single "I"? Like it's litterally the only capital letter. Also she didn't capitalize the other "i". Why didn't she just leave them all lowercase? I need to know this.

For emphasis, read it as if it was all capitalized normally but that one I is bolded
Intentionally lowercased the I because zoomers think formal writing is harsh or mean. Likely the next I was capitalized through autocorrect. Most zoomers completely disabled autocorrect so they can type in all lowercase
- I'm too old to tell if this is satire or serious.
I'm also curious why there's only one period, and it's not even at the end.
- You don't need to use a period on the internet if it's the end of a line. The line break signals the end of the sentence, unless maybe they trailed off in
idiots lIke that are just really Inconsistent.

Have you also cut off one of your ears for each painting sold?

van gogh sold hundreds of paintings in his lifetime.

if you dont believe me, see this QI clip that confirms it.

A surprisingly apt song for this exact thought about Van Gogh's success.
