I don't know why this made me laugh so much 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

"A fool in love..."

YESSS!!!!!

Willie Carlisle has a song called "A Certain Kind of Fool" that when Tatsuo Horiuchi had said this made me instantly think of this song.

NGL that's how a true genius would answer. He's conscious of his unusual methods but it works so well with his talent and nobody else can do it up to his level, so he is truly one of a kind.

"As long as I'm havin fun, then idc"

anyone that says something like that probably hates their life. how is doing something that makes you happy useless? i’m glad this man doesn’t let people like that bring him down

When you get older you don't give a frak about what other people think of you, anymore.

He's the fool who makes beautiful paintings with goddamn Excel, of all softwares 😂 if he's a fool, I wanna be a fool too ;)

He is a fool. Paint is cheaper than printer ink. And originals would be worth thousands. Now all he has are prints and wastes his time, money and effort making disposable art. When by now he could have actually gained talent as an artist.

@@BOOGiNS you make zero sense

@@vedantkokate971 you have low level of comprehension. Go read some books.

MS knew they had Paint, though. And plenty of people have made master level artwork using MS Paint.

Yeah but its more interesting painting where paintings are not expected

Illustrator*

You mean Illustrator.

​@@Rocadamisplenty of people use photoshop to illustrate because it allows for a much natural experience with brushes and such. Not everyone needs vectors

pasokonga.com/ is the artist's website. But it seems like there's no other way to purchase his works other than contacting the artist.

I feel like they asked a question like "are they for sale" and he replied by saying that they would be hard to sell but he would appreciate it. So I think he meant they are not necessarily for sale, but that's just my guess.

@@bohlam6c even the website seems like an Excel product lol

@@judsongreer5683 Japanese speaker here, he is saying it like "Selling paints is hard, right? If someone wants to buy it, I would be very happy!", he don't even know if he can sell his work or not. anyway, I can help you guys contacting him in japanese to buy his paintings..

Seemed to me he's tried selling, but doesn't seem to have many buyers. So selling is hard.

Yep. A true master uses whatever means necessary to achieve their goals. And when it’s done under unconventional methods, i would consider them a genius

Absolutely correct, an artist experiments and innovates and this gentleman is a master in his craft 🖌️

figuring out techniques that can be used to paint on your own and using those to make beautiful paintings, thats what real dedication and hardwork is. i have a painting software and bunch of tutorials that i can look up online but i still cant make something decent.

Although resourceful, this man chose one of the hardest tools to create these types of art. He’s an excel genuis!

how do you know if everything in this video was true?

Iam sure your parents would have done atleast somethings good for you ...apart from bringing you into this world . Repaying them is an almost impossible task so it falls back to doing small things that would make them happy.... Like helping them with Facebook ...but ofcourse WITHOUT LISTING IT OUT ON RU-vid. What's with people nowadays ? Are you so myopic that you can't imagine yourself in your parents shoes in the future ??

@@jumper030281 Unless that they ask their son to be critical, google everything and all, yet they never did it themself (at least my parents did) Sure they did great things. I'm quite objective. I can't overlook one bad thing just because they did many good things and VICE VERSA. The answer is always there. A simple google search. They know how to use google, that is why it's weird. They didnt AT LEAST TRY to search stuff.

Moreover, many of my friends can relate. We even made a theory that many (yeah, not all) older generation dont know the importance of searching anything online. They could did it, somehow, as the last resort. Idk if they are lacking incentive, passion, or something.

@artsie_UwU lmaaoooooo

We were all thinking the same thing

I hadn’t even considered that. +1 for unintended benefits

He could switch to a vector editor program like inkscape and he would still keep most of his skills

The only quality loss is in the small unalignment of elements normally invisible to the naked eye of the artist. Vectors are infinitely scalable. They are mathematical.

0 quality loss

As opposed to using the program conveniently named "paint" 🤣

Me, a young asian: *confused screaming

japanese retired workers probably like to keep the challenge going. and he started in 2000 (less software options) and probably already used excel at work, since he was too familiar with a pc to actually buy art material.

@@MrJeanNunes bruh paint was packaged with windows at that point

For a grandpa, yes it is. He probably only knew Word, Excel, the browser and a couple more, only simple useful things to help run your life. Graphic design programs aren't essential to manage your life for most people, so it makes sense a grandpa wouldn't know or nobody would spend time teaching one.

i imagine this is just the feel vector art gives off. they have very smooth and even colors and lines because they are partially computer generated (like the computer calculating a smooth gradient for example).

Very unique and creative

Thought the same. Those painting are legit

So true I feel like its really like a traditional japanese style that he would do with watercolor sumi or something like that, or even with cutting paper and making a collage. But in fucking 2000's he thought "you know what fuck paper, we are in a goddamn NEW MILLENIUM im gonna embrace modernity and save money" ol

😂, you should work for an art gallery.

Looking at the video, it seems that Excel has actually better drawing capabilities than Paint (it can do vector drawing). Still an odd choice of program of course

Well, at least he found a better one 😂 microsoft paint is not... good

He can draw on many microsoft office programs 😀

@@drawcheat6232 Actually, MSPaint is probably one of the best programs for pixel artwork. Not so great for other stuff tho.. Lol

It's a quite realistic goal if you're a newbie. I started studying photography in 2011 and the first exhibition I was actually proud of was in 2018. Five years later I'm still figuring out how to mix in what I've learned as a photographer with drawing and fiction writing. It's a very slow progress but so rewarding once a work feels "complete" and there's only excitement to share instead of insecurities or fear no one will like it.

20 years of practice are "talent"? People think they are being nice when they call someone "talented", in reality it's just rude, you're turning down their achievements, all their hard work under a single word, just to make yourselves feel better, "there's no way I could have done that, I don't have the talent!" Yeah, sure (Sorry if the comment turned out a bit agressive, that wasn't my intention)

@@geli95us yeah, chill. You clearly missed my point. I specyfically said (to put it simple) that talent is what one DOES not what HAVE.

​@@aliceinclockworks that's not the meaning of the word "talent" though, the definition of talent is: "a natural ability to be good at something, especially without being taught" I do get your point now, though, sorry for jumping on the offensive too fast

@@geli95us Well, I did not define it that way. I think proficiency is part of it, but more vital seems to me what people decide to do with it. Makes talent something of will and not fortuity. Although being "gifted" seems like fortuitious, I belive it is rather born of our love and choice.

@@aliceinclockworks yeah, I agree with you completely, it's just that "talent" is not a good way of describing what you mean, in fact, I don't think there's a word to describe what you mean, "skilled" or "proficient" doesn't quite cut it

K2_SLAYER_ yeah..!.

K2_SLAYER_ I'm just sharing the gospel. First of all, the gospel begins with God. God created us in his image, for his glory and to have a loving relationship with Him. God loves us, he gives us free will to follow him, or to not follow him. All of us have sinned against God, we have all like sheep, gone our own way. We have chose something else meaningful to us, in our life to replace God. God is holy, he must punish sin otherwise he's not a holy God. It's no different than a judge, sentencing someone to prison. Even if the person being judged, would bring up all the good deeds he has done. It still doesn't pay for his crimes. So if God were to judge us, we would all be guilty. But God is rich in mercy, he sent his only begotten Son Jesus. To die on the cross for our sins, Jesus took the punishment you and I deserve. All you have to do, to receive salvation is by repenting of your sins. And believe in the gospel, that Jesus died on the cross for you. And God rose Him on the third day, I encourage you to read the gospel of Matthew God bless you!

@@thenonexistinghero make moves or make excuses

@@taiwoash1388 No, I'm just using common sense. You cannot dedicate yourself to something fully if there's too many distractions. If you're old and retired, you can dedicate a lot of time into something without having to worry about how long it will take. It's the same for children. You can dedicate a lot of time into something when you're an adult as well... but the fact is that there's a lot of things on your mind that you need to worry about. The barrier is a lot bigger for someone in his/her adult stage of life to do something like this.

@@thenonexistinghero the barrier is only as big as you make it. As you've said, there are a lot of distractions. Stop being distracted, set the goal as ten years from now, and even ten minutes a day will get you there.
