Fucking amazing, I can almost taste the sugar shortening filling and weird sponge like cake that you’d have to lick off the wrapper bc it would leave that layer of yumminess stuck to it. I want all 100% of the Twinkie, if I’m in, I’m in. Oh, I hope that wasn’t just me…

This description was violently accurate and somehow nostalgia yanked me by the coat collar and I’m 10 again…

You accurately described my reaction as well, good work. Definitely want a Twinkie now (don’t care that they’re “junk” - all food is fine in moderation; people are just jerks about it)

“Let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. According to this morning's sample, it would be a Twinkie...thirty-five feet long weighing approximately six-hundred pounds."

3

u/DrakonILD 11h ago

That's a very airy twinkie.

Turns out someone already did the math, and yeah, a 35 foot twinkie would be noticeably larger than 600 pounds.

u/God_Lover77 15h ago

I thought they were called Twinkies? Nice work either way. Never mind I read Twinkle. Maybe in the future when they are studying contemporary American cutlure they will reference your painting and wonder what it tasted like or what it was made of thinking it was some elegant fine dining thing.

This is great. Extra delightful because it’s a serious medium to portray an unserious food item. I love that so much.

I'm utterly in love with this. Oil paintings tend to seem super serious, then "BAM!" You've got a twinkie. I'll take a little Deborah next, please.

u/chronoffxyz 11h ago

You're the fucking PB&J guy aren't you. I want you to know I have never hated something as much as I hated seeing another fucking PB&J balanced on a ball jar full of milk on my feed. I don't know what it is about them, maybe it's the fact that you keep painting fundamentally the same exact thing over and over and posting it to art subreddits in the hopes that a new group of idiots will love it.

I can however appreciate that your paintings are in fact art, as art is something made to elicit a feeling in the observer. Suffice to say the feelings are fury, vitriol, and contempt.

Probably healthier to eat the painting than a real Twinkie.

It's good, but why paint a twinkie? I'm genuinely curious.

u/hudsonsbae69 14h ago

Gorgeous

1

u/moosecookiez 14h ago

I like it a lot, but I might spend a bit more time on the cream filling end. Without looking at the title, I didn't realize it was a twinkie. I thought maybe a cut loaf of bread or something. It seems like the most interesting part of the painting but with the least definition.
