5:02 borderline just you know it's actually pretty cool yeah so he's in Ukraine in San Diego oh he's San Diego San Diego yeah what's that the Ukraine I'm just saying inspired by like you know tragic wartime type stuff but no he apparently he just he just saw some cool DVDs and like he just they came from that some of us want to report the news here you know isn't that cultural appropriation Anthony is just making sure that I'm saying the facts so that we you know are saved yeah oh that was crazy our fans don't even know what DVDs are he said he has some cool Hollywood videos that his dad still has he just did this off for that I don't like that one yeah I like the other one that one looks like that one looks like his mom's mom's Anglers like I'd say this was only 30 G's or something nah 30g these are very impressive but that looks like it could be big like it goes across your whole living room but yeah no this kid so this

5:52 kid's kind of like a big ████ thing right because um you know his dad's Hollywood videos are like pretty inspirational no yeah so he so he was um he was watching about the war in Ukraine the mom says not the dad um and he saw a small 12-inch banana scan canvas sketch and colored marker and um the then the the dad was like Hey like what's this and he says this is the invasion of Ukraine and then the father got moved by that and then the the um the mom says that her art like her kid is 10 years old and she was asking about like why this happened and like what's up with that and he's and he's like hey can I have more room to

6:42 paint with so she got him so he's like can you please leave yeah I mean yeah um so then the prince of invasion of Ukraine went up for sale on his website and all the proceeds went to a foundation which supports Ukrainian youth and so now that's cool yeah now um his work is getting a lot of attention obviously because of that little hook um and he sold his entire 17 painting collection in three days for for prices ranging from five thousand dollars to twenty thousand dollars wow so yeah he sold it for over a hundred thousand dollars obviously for like he did 17 paintings so do you think this do you think this craze of physical paintings in the real world is gonna catch on no I think entities is what's up
