Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

[TayandYou]

Bob did steer Chris from business (lol) to CADD in hopes of his son being technical skilled/passionate because he's good at picking up games

Still a better idea than Chris going into marketing. He barely even understands the basics of human interaction, I doubt he's capable of understanding how marketing even works.

The most dangerous thing is that he genuinely believes he's an innate expert in human interactions and desires. "Every mudder needs a regular healing and clearing of the cobwebs by their male lesbian daughter."

This could be due to the fact that he's restricted to just a pen. The way he usually colors his recolors gives them a distinctly childish look, like something you'd see pinned to a fridge door, so his jail art just appears a bit more mature in contrast.

The new jail drawings are very interesting in multiple ways. They continue to be, although certainly not “good”, distinctly better technically. They look like they were done by an adult with no artistic skills but they lack a certain bizarreness that older drawings had that I can’t quite define. The perspective and scale of all of the objects drawn are not so wildly incongruous as they were before. The change is noticeable enough that I genuinely wonder if it’s the result of being on proper medication consistently for the first time in his life and mitigating some of the autism symptoms a little bit. They’re still not good drawings but they look less like they were made by a literal child.

The conversation with his past self also feels like something that may have been inspired by conversations with some sort of professional too. The Merge nonsense is still there, but I’m not aware of Chris ever seeming so aware of basically every past romantic interest being a troll. I thought he still believed that some of them were real in some sense.

Just checked out the Peanuts-related art dump and honestly, it really does work better than his pre-jail stuff.

Can't put my finger on it either, but this one in particular looks, for lack of a better word, presentable. Especially so when considering the limited resources available to him in jail. Ignore the spergy ranting in the speech bubbles and this could pass as a quick sketch by a real cartoonist.

I think the change is that there’s a consistency to it and a shift towards a visual representation rather than a symbolic one. A normal, functional adult who doesn’t have any artistic skills still knows that the goal of a drawing to to approximate what their eye sees. When children start to draw, they tend to not understand this and draw scenes by making marks to sort of “tell” the viewer what is there instead of showing it. The classic example of this is small children adding the sky to a scene by drawing a blue line across the top of the page instead of filling in the entire background blue.

The latest jail drawings seem to have this big-picture visual focus instead of the random, disconnected additions of details. There’re are no objects wildly and obviously out of proportion to each other like the classic Keystone XL soda straw or random mall kiosks given excessive detail in the background.

This is primarily interesting to me not because it signals artistic development, but these features are typical child development milestones he seems to be finally hitting at 40

It's also that he's simplified the type of drawings he's going for. Instead of trying to depict these complex action scenes with foreshortening and characters interacting and movement, it's just people standing or sitting down or in basic poses. As a person who's done a lit bit of drawing it's definitely easier to mess up on some dynamic pose than just a person standing maybe at an angle with their arms doing something.

Here we have a furry telling a group of children that their “real age is that in your own soul.”

I’m definitely not one of the people who thinks Chris has an inappropriate interest in children and I know he’s going for some “always keep learning” woo woo message, but on its surface that is some okgroomer shit.

Who was Chris‘s friend during the Rollin‘ and Trollin’ video? Considering that that’s the most normal Chris has ever looked, I figured that that guy was the best influence Chris has ever had.

Magical Man, I believe.

I haven't thought about Magical Man in some time. One of the few true mysteries in the CWC-sphere. I hope he's doing well. I think it's hard to be a good influence for Chris. Chris-chan has a habit of breaking people down (mainly by not listening to their sound advice) and trying to sway them to his delusions.

Just another example of how alien Chris' thinking can be. Truly it's hard to say when something's out of the ordinary because of how far from ordinary he already is.

Isn't the nature of the Magic Man somewhat well known? No we don't know his name or what he's currently doing or anything, but we do know that he was a friend of Kim Wilson that she introduced to Chris. That's more than we know about Clyde Cash last time I checked.

Chris draws his old self even skinnier than his female form. This drawing depicts October of 2006, and by that time he was already overweight. Here's a video from November 2006 so you can compare.

The original drawing this edit was based off of has been added to the 2006 page of the CWCki by a diligent Christorian named Eamoo. Great job!

Who's to say Bob didn't? They're all lazy fucks, but Bob did steer Chris from business (lol) to CADD in hopes of his son being technical skilled/passionate because he's good at picking up games (which let's be honest. Anything prior 2005 mostly were platform collectathons).
Personally, I think Bob just didn't know how PCs worked. Also, CADD and CAD are two different things right? And even if it wasn't. Chris' CWCville CADD mall was atrocious and I doubt anyone would've hired him. There's no backrooms in his layout. . . His blueprint speaks for itself.

I think Bob's reason for the switch from business (it was marketing) to CADD was that I assume Bob had pull from his old job a G&E to get Chris in. However it was more than likely whoever Bob knew had retired just like him, and the new people at his job were never going to hire Chris to begin with.

If you were to ask Bob before he died if the PVCC experiment was a failure, or that he was a failure as a parent, I think he would solemnly agree. You can't hitch your problems on others for so long (the elementary school, the trolls, jerkops/manajerks).

Can't put my finger on it either, but this one in particular looks, for lack of a better word, presentable. Especially so when considering the limited resources available to him in jail. Ignore the spergy ranting in the speech bubbles and this could pass as a quick sketch by a real cartoonist.

And he still uses that odd way of holding a pencil/pen to draw. How soon until Chris develops carpal-tunnel or arthritis?

You think one of those chances would've been to pick a different major? Probably not but hey if he majored in art or even cooking his shitty life could've been a bit better.

I doubt Chris would want to switch because he was too busy with his love quest. Plus, as we know by now: Chris doesn't take being taught to/taking directions/being told what to do very seriously. Which is weird because one of the few things Chris was taught is to take care of Barb when she gets dementia, and that was because he was forced to. And we all know how that turned out.

I think it would have benefitted Chris to learn how to cook, because there's no way Chris would survive an art class/course due to all the critiques he would face.

Has Chris shown any signs of developing arthritis, or perhaps gout? I don't remember him complaining about either. I feel like at his age with his habits he should be even less physically healthy.

Cooking would definitely be a good skill to learn but the kitchen became inaccessible because of Barb's hoard. The housefire happened because Chris had to move a coffee machine to the bathroom where the door wore the power cable down. Also, Chris would be likely to let food go bad and then eat it anyway and then he'd get sick or make Barb sick.

Maybe if Chris had managed to keep his job at Wendy's he could have eventually moved up to working in the kitchen, which would require training in things like hand washing and keeping dates on things to make sure they don't go bad. That would be helpful for Chris.

Chris took art courses in middle and high school. This is where the Sonic totem came from. In high school it looks like he was assigned work similar to what I was assigned in 2D art classes, for example, it looks like he had to draw something from the angle in which he was viewing it, probably while other students were drawing it from other angles. In my case it was bones and flowers, I'm not sure what Chris drew. Another assignment used mixed media, in which Chris started with a photo in the middle of a sheet of paper and had to complete the image using pencils. Here's one where he realistically drew a Game Boy and N64 controller. The artwork also depicts a Sonic toy that looks much more like the way Sonic looks in the cartoons than in Sonichu comics.

The true and honest Clyde Cash was played by one troll. There were others who impersonated Clyde, but there is only one real one who played like five other characters

I would assume that the standards of a high school art class and a college art class would be very different, although imo his high school pieces are significantly better than what he's put out in his adult years, so he probably lost a lot of his talent after graduating (that or it's because he had access to actually good materials and not pens and markers). Maybe if he kept momentum and took art classes in PVCC he could've been an actually competent artist.

That's very generous, given that his art work done in HS looks like a 10 yr old did them. Aesthetics aside, Chris is currently the most famous outsider artist alive atm.

It's weird that the description says they're arranged in a rainbow and lists the colors of the characters's clothes left to right when there is no color in the picture

It's hard for high school art teachers to maintain good quality art supplies for their students. They don't get a lot of money to do it, to the point where they may have to pay for some classroom supplies from their own salary and ask students to bring in some money. On top of that, the students generally don't clean up after themselves even when asked, so the watercolors are all mixed together, the paintbrushes are caked with paint instead of cleaned off, and markers aren't capped.
Chris had control over his art supplies at 14BC. He could buy stuff at the craft store like fresh Crayola clay and he would recap his markers so they didn't dry out. He kept the Model Magic stuff in zip-lock bags so it wouldn't dry out. If he had wanted anything expensive like fancy colored pencils or paint he could probably get a ween to buy it if he e-begged enough.
My mom is an artist and is friends with a former high school ceramics teacher whose classes I took. She said I was one of her best students because I would clean off tools I had used and things like that. We would sit six to a table and share a bowl of slip, a clay slurry used as glue. I'd actually make slip instead of just leaving a bowl of half-dry clay with water sitting on top of it for the other students at my table. That's how low the bar is, you just have to mix water into clay so it's a thin slurry and then the teacher likes you.
