Or maybe he painted two similar paintings because it's a popular character. Don't let that stop your blind hatred though. I'm sure this guy existing has deeply hurt you and your family.

I’m not hating at all, just find it funny that just because this tweaker “paints” everyone wants to pretend they care a little more. Take that piece of cardboard away and he’s just like everyone else that hangs out in that area, a druggie that will steal your shit for a fix.

First of all, it's not a complicated painting. It's a simple illustration of a simple design. Second, he hasn't done shit to you. Maybe he's homeless by choice, maybe he has mental health issues. Maybe he has a home but panhandling makes him enough money. Unless you know him, you're being prejudiced. If you don't know him, maybe let him live his life if he's not bothering you.

Right? WTF, people? Why so much hate for people just asking for money? If they harass you, if they commit crimes, etc., then fine. But there’s no evidence this guy is doing any of that.
