Ringo Starr's Digital Art - Ringo Starr proving that yes, he was the most autistic Beatle

[Grub]

So for those that don't know, Ringo Starr was that guy with the perpetual goofy smile that banged on the drums for the Beatles. Sometime in the 90's he discovered using computers to make artwork.

“I started in the late nineties with my computer art. While I was touring it gave me something to do in all those crazy hotels you have to stay in on the road. In its way ‘Pop’ art is always changing-like ‘Pop’ artists. Its a natural move of things like pop music and even Popeye the Sailor Man.”

At some point he put up his gallery of art online here:

Gallery – Ringo Starr Art

Most of it is just straight up autism drawn in MS-Paint being sold for ridiculous prices.

Spoiler: Sampling of his 'Artwork'

People seemingly buy prints of these for thousands of dollars.

I'm guessing this whole thing appeals to nostalgic boomers with more money than sense or taste and Ringo could shit in a jar and some boomer would probably buy it.

Still, I find it pretty absurd that Ringo Starr is now an MS-Paint artist selling his autistic childlike drawings for thousands of dollars.

100% of the proceeds from this 'art' goes to the Lotus Foundation

https://www.ringostarrart.com/the-lotus-foundation/

Which apparently

The objectives of the Lotus Foundation are to fund, support, participate in and promote charitable projects aimed at advancing social welfare in diverse areas including, but not limited to:

• Substance abuse
• Cerebral palsy
• Brain tumours
• Cancer
• Battered women and their children
• Homelessness
• Animals in need

Ringo was into NFT art before it was cool.

The Lotus Foundation sounds mildly retarded. "What does your foundation do?"
"Oh, it promotes things. Nice, fluffy things."
"Like what?"
"Like... social welfare in cancer."
"Social welfare for cancer patients?"
"No, just cancer."

Has Ringo been a secret lolcow the whole time?

 

[Just A Butt]

you're all just jealous that your MS Paint nightmares aren't as popular as his
Starkey is a total Chad

 

[Jimmy Olsen]

It's fucking Ringo Starr what do you expect?

This reminds me of that "Simpsons" episode where Marge secretly painted her crush Ringo. His art's neat.

Look like a 5 year old just got MS pant. I hope NFTs die soon.

These aren't NFTs, they're actual prints you can buy.

Ringo has been doing this since long before NFTs became a thing.

When you really think about it, all the other Beatles were most likely lolcows except Starr who was probably the least lolcow-ish of the bunch and was always an all around great guy.

I think Lennon is the big time lolcow of the bunch though.

He did physically abuse his wives and his son Julian BTW

And anyone that would fuck Yoko Ono is a lolcow by default

His brother Sean Lennon seemed to come out pretty well, all things considered. His collaborations with Les Claypool the last few years have been on point.

And pose nude with her and proudly show that in an album cover and "Imagine" a Communist-Inspired song
