To everyone telling him to reach out to Taco Bell, do you not realize that they paid him to paint this and post it here?

And that they have a marketing team swarming this thread making and upvoting positive comments while downvoting negative ones?

Edit: to all doubters, when he posted the Popeye's Chicken one people found the post where he was talking about that commission (now deleted). Also, they posted the same on instagram where they clearly state it was a paid partnership, I can't hotlink it but the path is /p/Cc5ihwuuR7w/.

I have no problem with corporate patronage of art, as long as it's disclosed as such so that the audience can decide if it's an advertisement or not.

You had to be commissioned for this right? Of all the things one could paint...

Is this one of those posts where it's actually an ad? Because it really looks like it lol.
