Why does everyone hate adam ellis so much?

Literally who? And why the fuck should we care?

>>94244333
jealously and a lack of understanding the adult world is about connections, not perceived merit

>literally who makes stupid statement on Twitter

It feels wrong that buzzfeed seemingly doesn't give a ahit about the cartoonist they hired while outlets like thenib are actively trying to promote different people.

>>94244333
Does anyone care who that is?

>>94244333

How does someone earn their spot if they are worse than their competition?

>>94244333
OP, you haven't explained who this guy is supposed to be. He seems like an asshole, but why should we care about him?

>>94244333
Who?

>>94244333
He resuses and traces the same drawings over and over again and makes generally really normie ass jokes.

I don't get why everyone vocally goes after him, I don't like his work but it doesn't bother me enough to send abuse and I can see exactly why he does reuse work a lot too.

Why are people so think skinned about criticism these days?

On the one hand, he's a lazy fuck who has no merit calling himself an artist
On the other hand, people have probably been sending him abuse that's way over the line for what he did to earn it

Either way he still doesn't hold a candle to the likes of Buckley

>>94244333
but he's not wrong tho

>>94245437

Promoting oneself and getting in contact with the people who then hire you is part of getting the job, satan. It's about self-promotion just as much as it is about skill

I am one of those broke artists and yeah I kinda agree with this douche. While I get that it isn't what he is trying to say really the best way to 'make it' is to focus on your own shit instead of trying to get to the top by pulling other people down.

Adam Ellis is without a doubt one of the most talentless hacks that have plagued the internet in the past few years. If you respond to genuine constructive criticism like this you are a pathetic child and will not improve in at least 10 years, just like Buckley didn't.

>>94244333
Everyone is attacking him right now, he's dropping knowledge and hitting back. He's a cool dude as far as I'm concerned.

It's not the fault of capitalism that people are shit.

>>94246385
That's not knowledge though. He's boasting and trading insults like a little kid who got a lollipop from his mommy.

>>94244525
Being reliable, being consistent, being on time counts for much much more in commercial art than being "great".

Lots of people can be "great" when they sit around and noodle at a drawing for a week.
It's the ones that do good work on a deadline that can continue to get work for long periods of time.

>>94246424
It also pays to cut corners as much as possible, and to have friends in the right places.

fucking makes me rage so hard. why the fuck do reddit fags give him upvotes

>>94246446
Sure.
And you get those friends and can learn to cut those corners by working your ass off and figuring it out.

You don't get them by pouting on DA and yelling at the people who are where you want to be.

>>94246536
See, here's the problem with your arguments- while they can be true, the painted image of an artist following those (IE cutting corners, etc, for the sake of being fast, instead of just being lazy and arrogant) would not be having the shitshows this guy has whenever called out on his copypasting.

>>94244525

Listen, everyone knows the cynical nature of the world, it's not merit that puts you in high places but who you know and how much ass you kiss, everyone knows that, doesn't make it wrong to bitch about it.

i didnt even know this fucker until this thread. and i fucking hate him so much already. he works for buzzfeed, makes shit jokes, copy pastes his comics, has no respect for other artists nor the readers, he's a fucking scumbag, is so fucking full of himself, and when someone criticizes him, he shits even harder. and worst of all most kids probably like him for being 'savage! lolxd'

i have a friend who is fucking 19 and is a way better artist and writer and i am fucking pissed knowing that he will never make as much money or have as much fame as this cunt.

What's worse is that there are thousands of other fuckers in other aspects who get paid for doing fucking nothing of value. is it that people turn shit instantly after they get famous or sth? it's sad and i dont want to live in a world like this

You don't need to work your ass off to make friends. It's really easy if you're good with people and say the right things in the right places. It's a social game.

You also don't need to work your ass off to cut corners. That's what cutting corners means. It means you make your job easier by taking shortcuts and avoiding effort. Your friends turn a blind eye to these things as long as you don't delay schedule, which is easy to avoid because your job takes no effort.

>>94246966
>i am fucking pissed knowing that he will never make as much money or have as much fame
And that's entirely the fault of your friend for not marketing himself properly

I will never understand the retards who whine that it's "unfair" that x gets more fame and money than y, who is better. Life isn't fucking fair, kids. There isn't some invisible class teacher in the sky who evaluates everyone's skills and only those, and then magically makes people receive the attention and profit they "deserve" based on nothing but the quality of their output. It's like people legit think that one shouldn't try to make money if somewhere in the world a more talented person exists, because that person would "deserve" that money more (even if they don't really try to get it)

Success is a combination of a lot of things. Human relations is one factor, as is sheer luck, as is being in the right place at the right time and meeting the right people, as is the audience willing to give attention for comfortably mediocre things. Such is life. Quit whining and work on your pitch. Your failure isn't the responsibility of the people who currently aren't failing.

>>94246966
Your friend might be a better artists, but pure skill isn't everything. That's not enough to make people care about you. You can be very skilled but uninteresting and boring. Consistency is also a major thing.

>>94244333
Once again /co/ proves themself to be jealous of someone with social skills. It doesn't matter that he's lazy if he delivers work and knows the right people (social skills, kiddos)

Anon, people appreciate artists for being good artists and making good material. Nobody ever looked at a garbage webcomic like this and said "wow this is shit but that's okay cause he's friends with BuzzFeed" as a reader. If you'd stop assessing Adam Ellis by his ability to peddle trash and started assessing the quality of what he puts out then you'd be saying what we're saying.

Stop justifying the existence of low quality garbage just because it can be successfully sold to the lowest common denominator.

I suspect this guy is trying to hatepost himself into relevance and publicity. If anon agrees, we should deal with threads accordingly by reporting.
