I've been making a living doing Questionable Content for almost a decade now, music is my other great passion in life. It's what I studied in college and eventually got a degree for!

It's a pretty damning indictment of basically everything when you consider that Jeph Jacques has made more for his art than, like, Van Gogh

Oh my God my parents took me to some Van Gogh exhibit of his late works where all of the paintings had these placards about how like this was his calm pastoral phase and it's like no, this is when he was a mental patient.

jeph jacques is more artistically fulfilled than anyone on this board

jeph jacques is more artistically fulfilled than anyone on this board

Scott Adams is probably the most artistically fulfilled person on the planet

What's your point

[trope]

it's been like half an hour and he's already raised $6000

what the fuck is wrong with people

[Jeremy]

I wouldn't buy, sell, borrow, or trade anything I have to be like one of them. I guess I'll start all over again.

no come on if you look at his video and his fundraising goal it seems kind of reasonable and you just go "aw shucks let the little weiner have his vanity opeth tribute project"

now obviously this is going to rake in obscene amounts of money and turn into something else entirely. but in a world where we have financial dominatrices and camgirls with amazon wishlists i can't blame him for getting while the gettings good

[trope]

aaaand it's funded. fuck everything.

man 2 people were about to go to bed tonight and saw that the questionable content guy was recording a death metal album and decided to drop $500 on him before they hit the sack

I still stand by what I said above but I just assumed it would be his legion of fans buying advance copies of the albums. now I have to wonder what these aggressively shitty 2013 versions of Lorenzo de' Medici look like, where they get their money, why and how they do anything

[glock mane]

went to his bandcamp and it just reminds me of Shin Megami Tensei battle music

[Grey Poupon]

I know it's like morally wrong and really cruel to tell someone to kill themselves without any hint of sarcasm but this guy is one of the few people I'd have no regrets over outside of like african generals who kidnap children as soldiers

This is like, a completely reasonable thing to do. The fact that his fans are crazy and he's gonna make way too much money from it is a whole thing, but asking for less than 10 grand to record a album is really reasonable.

i wouldn't even contribute to this if it was to buy him a cybernetic hand to replace the one he mangled in his botched suicide attempt and i'm generally pro-cyborg.

reasonable for a normal person but still

when you're not a normal person and you do this it's a gross form of affirmation seeking. the grossest because it's measured not by retweets or whatever but by how much money you can get your fans to give you

[MikeyJ]

this isnt as exploitative as zach braff lifting 2 mil off his fans, but jeph jacques should still kill himself just to be safe

The monsters finally caught up

[trope]

Just to recap, Jeph Jacques a suicidally depressed aspie who draws a not-very-good comic and has a one-person instrumental metal act based on a band in said comic. It's taken him less than 24 hours to make more money than I'll see all year. I was going to post a QC strip in here but instead I think I'll go off and think about my life.

[young opiate]

i dunno none of that sounds bad to me.
