I love it when drawings or paintings interact with real world elements. Well done.

hey i like this! i knew a guy that lit some toilet paper on fire in the boys bathroom one time at school. we all thought the fire alarm was going to go off but it didn't because one of the teachers had to pee right after the kid did it so he put it out with his foot. not bare feet, he had shoes on.

Hey I heard adding oxygen to the fire puts it out.

espritsaura · 8 months

This makes me sadder than it should, perhaps.

Roodypo · 8 months

At first I though "How in the hell did he draw so well and so fast while the fire burned away at the paper"....Then I facepalmed and gave myself a time out.

Poor guy. Here's hoping his sweat will put it out.

Oh my goodness! That reminds me of the time my grandson Wesley set the attic on fire!

andrewsmith1986 · 8 months

I can't imagine taking the time to draw something, just to light it on fire.

Blowing on the base of the flame is just going to fuel it with more oxygen.

I become so happy when I see people make art only to destroy it and make more art in the process

Voyboy · 8 months

He's doing it all wrong. He's a mime, he needs to make a box around himself before the flames reach him.

DoZeYLoVe · 8 months

Why have I never seen this before? Brilliant!

adresanet · 8 months

ha ha, really strange, but also funny pictures. i like it

[deleted] · 8 months

Proving, once again, that "peeing on it" is always the right thing to do.

NeoSniper · 8 months

Why are so many people trying to say that blowing on a piece of paper doesn't work? Is this a joke/reference I'm not getting?

Only way I can make sense of this is because of the scale of the flame size with the boy's size.

iamagainstit · 8 months

I am just going to pretend he is blowing on it to get the fire going good.

certified_badman · 8 months

First thought: How did he have time to draw that after setting the paper on fire?

EndymionAwake · 8 months

There is something nice about art where one has to prepare for a few fleeting moments that convey what is desired.

The time spent drawing that, only to have it destroyed in moments as part of its completion. Good thing he took the picture at the right time.

Would be funny if you missed the picture, forcing you to start over.

This is art.

I_Get_Sidetracked · 8 months

i like it when they interact with the real elements, if i could control any element it would be earth, i would make my self a big castle, my old school looked like a castle, i didnt get good grades at school, neither did jim carey, i liked some of his films when i was younger but that penguin one was shit, i need a shit, semi pro was pretty shit, will ferral is badass though, im watching taladega nights right now, its night time right now, i am not a fan of night time, its quite cold, i dont like cold food, like that cold pasta you can buy from boots and stuff, not as good as warm pasta. mmmm.

A piece of A4 paper is 297 mm x 210 mm.

This means that there is a total of 62,370 mm² which can be engulfed by flames.

If you didn't put that fire out.. then you are a monster.

Instead of blowing on the fire, he should focus on being less flammable. That is what I would do in that situation.

MevTheKid · 8 months

Have one of a building and fire engines shooting water at it then light it at the top? I might have a go at it tomorrow.

MevTheKid · 8 months

Great idea and picture btw

engwar · 8 months

Check out the old Italian film Allegro Non Troppo. It was a parody/response to Disney's Fantasia. It had a short bit with an animated guy on a piece of paper which caught on fire. I can't find that piece on YouTube or I'd post it. Great film.

DaHolk · 8 months

There is an animated version of this idea in allegro non troppo from 1976. With This little guy being burned.

Sadly I can't find a clip of that scene. But the whole movie is a more serious version of Disneys fantasia. European style. One of my favourite scenes: Valse triste
