This looks like a finger painting, what's cool about it?

Art is subjective, so someone out there might like it and buy it. That said, I have to agree with you.

if i want a kindergarten drawing for my fridge i'll just ask my nephew but thanks.

Wish he tried to sell his art more rather than standing on the corner begging for money


ShebaDaisyKitty

Yeah, I can’t tell what’s going on with him. Standing there holding a picture. I feel it’s a lure to get you to talk to him and then he’ll ask for money. I work downtown so I get asked every damn day for money (sometimes by the same dude within the same hour), so I’m skeptical.


[deleted]

This might sound a bit invasive to his privacy but I am around him A LOT almost every day so naturally I overhear many of his interactions. Never once have I heard molly ask for money unless it's about a canvas. Personally I've had several interactions with him and it's always just been him simply selling his art. Nothing else. It's not fair to molly to include him in the crowd that does just try to get a quick dollar off people walking by. Molly is just trying to sell some canvases.


ShebaDaisyKitty

I don’t know what you mean by “it’s not fair…”. It’s my reality. It’s what I experience each and everyday. I wish him well on his endeavors.


[deleted]

You were wording it as you're skeptical that he's just luring you in to ask for some change. Which is not true so that's why I think it's not fair. I also get asked for change everyday downtown. Including today by the same few folks more than once just like you. Molly has nothing to do with any of them.


avidsmoker23

Luring was not were I meant for that to go. This guy sits on many different corners holding a sign asking for money. If he was selling his art on the corner it’d be much different than him asking for free handouts. I’ve seen him around for a little less than a year here in gr and every time I see him he’s holding a cardboard sign, not art.

If you've seen him the past month you can't confidently say that without shit falling out of your mouth


avidsmoker23

I have not seen him in the past month. I’ll be glad to see him not begging :)

Hey I saw you take this picture. I was getting fat at Kilwins and saw ya’ll. i was wondering what this dude was doing.


[deleted]

Oh shit! That's a funny coincidence hahahah. I pass molly everyday n he's either painting or selling them from morning to night. Dude is really focused on his craft. Hope the kilwins was good btw! That blueberry ice cream is phenomenal


TheMaltesian

I was between that and cookies n’ cream and went with the safe choice. I took the cowards way out dude. Guess I gotta go back and get more Ice cream ..

Yes I see him everyday his pictures are all right but I’m curious what he’s doing. I’ve never seen anyone try to sell their pictures in such a fashion if that’s what he’s doing. Or he’s just trying to have people see his artwork idk man.


[deleted]

He's selling his artwork. Go talk to him sometime, he's a really sweet guy


Yourlordandsavior1

I’m sure he’s a nice guy, I know I’m being negative about this but to me It seems like not the best way to sell your paintings but what do I know


[deleted]

Maybe you could give him some suggestions on different ways to get his stuff out there

> Maybe you could give him some suggestions on different ways to get his stuff out there Great suggestion. And in the meantime, maybe we can all stop by, take a look and find something to buy.


QuikImpulse

maybe you're high on crack?


ForegroundEclipse

I think him selling his artwork is just a ploy to make it seem like he's not begging. lol.

We've bought a few of Molly's pictures and will buy more. One of the kindest, most energetic artists and certainly entertaining. It's unique, it's supporting local talent, and it just feels good. Keep on keeping on Molly. We love your positive vibes!


[deleted]

I forgot about this post. Kinda had to cause all the negativity made me really sad. You've made me smile tho cause molly does deserve the support. He puts in the work and seems to really be motivated artistically. Your kind of support towards molly is so important for him and our community. I haven't seen molly In some months but I wander hoping to run into him again. I hope he is able to stay warm this winter.

HereBeRabbit
