It was painted by a student of Norman Rockwell named Ruan Mullins. His English was lacking so they say that they communicated visually instead of speaking to each other. That cup was a gift from Ruan Mullins to Norman after he trained under him for around 5 years. Basically when you have a mentor that's a master like Rockwell, you keep training under them until you can produce a piece that is comparable to the master, aka a "masterpiece." This was Ruan's first and only masterpiece and it's been making the rounds here at /ic/ lately.

/ic/ has some devout shitposters, almost nonexistent moderation, and plenty of users who have given up on reporting posts.

It's some idiot shitposting. In fact, that's probably the answer to most questions you could have about this place.

>>2856278
fuck off
the cup isn't ever going to be as good as the merc. it's a dud.

No, that was when it became a meme. The file name shows that is was downloaded from a previous thread.

What really happened was that some guy was spouting some bullshit about imagination drawing or something and used the claim that he made it to support his bullshit.
Many anons asked to see his work, but at first he was all like "I don't really want to post it because someone will recognize it cuz I'm so famous".
Then he couldn't resist showing off and blowing the panties off the anons of /ic/ and quickly painted the mug which was so awful, it became a meme.

merc_wip really does go with everything

>>2856334
It never became a meme it will never be a meme. It's literally one tard making astro turfing threads and posts like this.

Sad!

>>2856334
no he did it in like 30 minutes. i rmeber the thread he was going off on some shit about not making it. KEK.

some real shit

>>2856338
Is "Sad!" a meme?

>>2856341
he idolizes a fat white guy with the mental fortitude of a toddler, so he adopts the language.

>>2856338
a meme is a meme tho.

Someone stated "post your work" and the original artist actually did it. Its so mediocre it became a meme.
If I try to remember really hard.... it was like a little over a week ago in a thread about how everyone here sucks I think.

The better question is why does /ic/ have the worst fucking memes

>>2857568
Because we're all dirt poor art students who should have studied the stem meme
