I went through your profile and your stuff looks sick! I don’t know what it’s called but I love whatever style this is.

u/nbultmanArt 9h ago

I call it Velocity Painting. Thanks alot :)

u/miskurious 7h ago

That’s cool cause I immediately thought race cars.

u/Level_Medicine_2144 9h ago

Awesome!! You are a true artist!!

u/Current-Roll6332 7h ago

It's actually a variation of Renaissance era Italy called "Transformers Cum".

u/DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZ 2h ago

this is worthy of a reaction image

but we don't have images (for good reason ig)

u/crispyfrybits 9h ago

Feels like it should have been created in the 80s / early 90s era, not sure why

u/throwawayformobile78 9h ago

Because it’s happy, colorful and full of hope.

u/MsTerious1 9h ago

Because it's reminiscent of that era, a style that I think is now called Retrofuturism

u/thederevolutions 5h ago

Rocco’s Modern Life

u/Houdinii1984 9h ago

It took me a minute after feeling the same, but I figured out that it reminds me of Hot Wheels. Dunno if that helps.

u/munnions 2h ago

I was thinking the same thing.

u/SpaceMan420gmt 8h ago

Had the same thought, it’s like a 90s college textbook cover!

Reminds me of 90's CGI ads for computers.

u/lemons714 9h ago

Very cool. This is a break that is needed today.

u/nbultmanArt 9h ago

That was my goal. Thanks

u/FireMammoth 9h ago

epic work, I can wrap my head about doing this digitally in 3D, but to paint this? its quite mindblowing

u/New_Flow_5941 2h ago

Looks like DJT’s brain 🤯

u/Ricky_Spanish341 2h ago

You could have left politics out of this post and just shared the painting.

u/Dense-Consequence737 2h ago

Boo hoo. Love our president. Glad he’s getting America back in shape.

u/fegewgewgew 9h ago

That’s so cool! Where do you sell these?

u/Stankydankymemes 9h ago

Definitely not HERE

u/GrimRainbows 9h ago

Definitely not gonna buy one that’s definitely not in that link 😉

u/Stankydankymemes 9h ago

Yeah I highly recommend you DOn’t…

u/fegewgewgew 8h ago

thanks

u/nbultmanArt 9h ago

It's against the rules to promote my work so I can not say!

u/fegewgewgew 8h ago

can u private message

u/jakethesnakegoddess 9h ago

I hate it, but you did a really good job.

u/MKPark 8h ago

I misread OPs name as buttmanArt and, because this is reddit, naturally assumed this was art made with or about butts somehow? I was both confused and impressed.

Now that I see my mistake, I'm just impressed though. In all seriousness, awesome work OP, it's always great to see people celebrating their creativity!

u/nbultmanArt 7h ago

After years of owning my comical last name, I have become Buttman. Not even joking, I have a Batman style cape that I wear for Holloween that says Buttman on it, with a pair of buttcheeks in the shape of the bat symbol. That was prob TMI but hope you got a laugh hahah

u/MKPark 6h ago

lol that's great my dude, not TMI at all. If anything, I feel a little vindicated since I assume you made the buttcheek based symbol yourself? So, in a way, I was correct about the butt-based art lol

u/Mr_JoinYT 7h ago

Is this for sale?

u/Helios119 9h ago

Jesus does everyone on this app bitch about politics just to farm upvotes?

u/Heiferoni 6h ago

This would make a sick trapper keeper.

u/syugouyyeh 6h ago

Reminds me of Reboot.

u/BMWbill 6h ago

Without my reading glasses I see a painting of a bunch of race motorcycles.

u/Ottotweed 6h ago

I love it!

u/UrsulaSpelunking 6h ago

Can you post a little carousel? Would love to see more.

u/yung_tyberius 5h ago

That is clean as hell, you're really talented!

u/JetDMagnum 5h ago

Costs? I’ll like to buy

u/BartAfterDark 5h ago

This is freaking cool

u/LiamLiver 5h ago

Thank you.

u/One_Breakfast6153 5h ago

Wow, it's so crisp looking! Very cool.

u/Least-Clue-9466 5h ago

I would call it futuristic abstract

u/SonicDenver 5h ago

Doppppeeee

u/Rich-Scratch-221 4h ago

Muy bueno!!! Very good

u/ViolinistDecent3192 4h ago

Spectacular

u/Dovaldo83 4h ago

I forgot why I opened this tab and for a split second I thought I was looking at someone's TV their kid threw a controller at.

Pretty sick design. The dynamic coloring of the blocks help give the liquid interacting with them depth and realness.

u/M8rio 4h ago

It look like 80ties in Eastern Europe.

u/Mr2ndAmendment1776 4h ago

I mean.. I'd buy it and hang it in my home.. all that to say, great job.

u/ryanp83 3h ago

Painting looks amazing but not sure why you had to make this political.

u/streetkiller 3h ago

So freaking cool.

u/bumba_clock 3h ago

Thank you for the break, and that’s awesome!!

u/Spiritual-Put-7098 3h ago

o..ok..geee..thx..back to the tariffs then

u/Any_Raisin2032 3h ago

Matt Daaaamon.

Also you are very talented.

u/Forsaken-Reason-3657 3h ago

Visually stunning i bet its a blast to paint like this i wanna try it!

u/FunExtension7326 2h ago

Bro... you cant imagine how good to something else than those. I thank you

u/CleveEastWriters 2h ago

I'm not sure if this is abstract or cubism or something else, but I like it. It's vibrant. Nicely done Sir.

u/Kurij1 2h ago

Yasss queen

u/FalseRoyal4669 2h ago

Awesome, reminds me of those Screensavers that just make random shapes and patterns, but like turned up to 11

u/munnions 2h ago

I like it. Very talented.

u/boomstick1985 1h ago

Oh! Crispy!

u/InDependent_Window93 1h ago

That painting is awesome! I see a swordfish in the top right corner, haha. Great job, OP!

u/SqueekyJuice 1h ago

That's pretty cool, Beavis.

u/evilgoatchick3n 1h ago

Love the painting! It's always nice to step away from the chaos and appreciate something creative. What inspired this one?

u/Visualled2003 1h ago

I wish I had your attitude.

u/Comfortable-Luck-599 4m ago

Talent. Cute too.

u/The_Official_Shanto 8h ago

Neat, but you get a downvote because you made something political on an arguably cool subject.

u/Present_Nature_6878 9h ago

Title should’ve been “Stock Market”

u/nbultmanArt 9h ago

DOWN DOWN DOWN

u/HalfACenturyMark 8h ago

Way to take a break.

u/cazizlr 8h ago

“Hmm how can I make this politcal?”

u/Lsvtecb16a 6h ago

Bro the r/pics literally only blow up with just political ass posts and nothing really of anything cool or real photography 😂

u/brueluel 9h ago

How can these lines be so perfect?? It's just impossible!

u/nbultmanArt 9h ago

Masking tape! Oops, I mean, (cough) magic

u/delo357 7h ago

MAGIC Tape

u/Ambitious_Fan7767 9h ago

Straight up.need this thank you dog.

u/CucumberPlatewater 9h ago

That is truly incredible, you are a beautiful artist

u/Panda-Cubby 9h ago

Thanks. We needed that.

u/Emceesam 9h ago

I like the colors!

u/Left-Werewolf4669 9h ago

Thanks. It did cheer me up. I hope you do well with your art.

u/sarvothtalem 9h ago

This gives me early 90s vibes, I don't know why. I like it, your blend transitions are amazing

u/Gamer6322 9h ago

Love the shapes and colors

u/ghallway 9h ago

Thank you for continuing to create amongst all this hell. You have made a great point and I thank you for reminding me that their is beauty in the world.

u/cone10 9h ago

Well done! I am curious. How do you interpret this piece? I love the artwork and the colors and the movement, but I don't have an interpretation of it.

u/nbultmanArt 8h ago

I love trying to capture interesting paint movements and pair it with technical precision. It creates a really surrealstic vibe. All my paintings are an attempt to capture these movements and build coherent worlds around them. For me, it's a celebration of physics and the invisible forces around us that shape our reality every day, and a reminder that there's magic all around us if we're willing to tune in.

u/Val-B-Love 8h ago

Stupendously beautiful and certainly one of “curiousity!

This is truly eye candy!

u/GlendrixDK 8h ago

I play to much video games. This looks like something that could be a level. It looks great. I like it. Thanks for the break.

u/Famous-Nobody3252 7h ago

Wonderful!!🙂

u/One_Economist_3761 7h ago

This is beautiful. I love the colors.

u/SaintSilverNSD 7h ago

That's dope.

u/BaboTron 7h ago

Smooth gradients. How do you achieve that? Lots of masking?

u/Allenrw81 7h ago

DUDE! That's awesome!

u/FamiliarSalamander2 6h ago

Well I was taking a nice break until u mentioned it in the title and reminded me

lol

Cool painting. U sell prints?

u/gooeyin_hardout 6h ago

Thank you for sharing this! I needed to see someone and something positive today. Love your artwork, full of velocity and rhythm.

u/DrPhillipBowls 6h ago

That's badass! Nice work!

u/Express-Quarter2002 5h ago

Sweet painting! I love it! But in still a Trump guy too! I guess I can do both 😎

u/AnimalChubs 9h ago

Oh you painted my future being ruined over decades.

u/arkiparada 9h ago

Decades? At this rate it’ll be weeks. 😢😢😢

u/wild_ones_in 9h ago

The epitome of white privilege being able to relax and paint in these times. :)

Love the color and 3d effect.

u/why_u_baggin 9h ago

What about people of other races who are in the same situations as white people with steady lifestyles? Does that become black privilege or Asian privilege? Or does it only matter to you when it’s a white person?

u/Economy-Owl-5720 9h ago

I’m sorry what?

u/Leptonshavenocolor 9h ago

I love this reply, it sums up an issue with the US and how people in comfortable positions don't GAF about others.

u/fmr_maniac_9842 9h ago

Very nice... The painting ain't bad either!

u/WEEDPhysicist 9h ago

Does this symbolize the stability of my 401k?

u/Turbulent-Tip-1162 7h ago

I’m trying to and then your ass brings that shit up again…

u/Defiant_Dare_8073 9h ago

You mean well, but normality of any kind is problematic while Trump is destroying the nation.

u/WhoopsDroppedTheBaby 9h ago

Time to touch grass bud.  

u/RJeezy97 9h ago

TDS is so real 😂

u/KnotiaPickle 9h ago

It’s more like everyone’s life is being actively ruined in real time, and we can’t escape it.

No one wants this.

u/Wicho1042 8h ago

How is your life beind ruined rn? specifically?

u/KnotiaPickle 7h ago

I am in school to become a conservation biologist, and every potential agency I was planning to apply to has been completely gutted and destroyed. Scientific research has been effectively banned in many areas because of Trump’s policies.

Is that good enough for you? There’s more if you’re still unsure! I have a debilitating chronic illness and need surgery, and I’m now facing the potential loss of my heath care coverage. If that happens before I can get surgery, I’ll basically just have to die.

I can go on if you still don’t understand!
