It's clearly a file you found online. Make the filename 'IMG 36' or something next time (or don't shitpost -- your choice).

>>11091412
or... he could be showing a photo of the product online in lieu of doing it himself.
some high quality bait buddy

>>11091327
I like it because it says Shakespeare on it in case you forget

>>11091412

OP here. It’s obviously not my home: why I would have so many fucking bicicles hanging on the wall?

I just ordered the bust because I liked the meditative look and the ample forehead of this Shakespeare. One can really see the genius on those small, marmot like eyes and well trimmed mustache.

We're reaching levels of consumerism not yet thought possible
Where did that Adorno thread go when you need it?

>>11091327
He looks kinda like brainlet wojak.

i own a statuette and am not afraid to admit it

>>11091456
then you didn't just buy 'this'. You bought something similar. Be more pacific

>>11092272
>mass-produced objects have unique existences
lol

You're doing great OP keep it up

>>11092272
Care to extrapolate?

>>11092300
dude the atomic composition of that bust pictured is unlike any other.

>>11091327
gay

>>11092260
who doesn't? at the very least, if you've been to greece you own one.

>>11091327
I wish this thing was white chocolate. I'd take a bite right out of that bulbous forehead of his.

>>11092272
what is wrong with you?

>>11091327
You will never make it.

>>11092993

Oh, but I will.

Just looking at the picture of my future statue already boosted my creativity and inspired me to compose the first scene of my new tragedy. Imagine what I will be capable of doying when I will be actually able to rub Shakespeare’s mighty forehead for that divine spark of inspiration. It will be a thousand times more effective than a cup of strong black coffee.

Great times are coming.

I think I will order a version of this bust. Shakespeare doesn’t look threatening on this version like in the others (where he is not only a genius, but also a bearded male model, with strong jawline and cheekbones).

I need to get inspired, not intimidated.

The problem with this statue is that sooner or later you are going to get drunk, seize a permanent marker and write something on that smooth, white, inviting dome of his.

Do it, OP.

Do it now.

P.S. For years I asked my relatives to buy me a large bust of Beethoven for Christmas/b-day and they thought I was joking.
Every time these came round (I was supposedly hard to buy gifts for because I didn't like normal things) we would repeat the following conversation:

>Family member: what do you want
>Me: A bust of Beethoven
>F.M.: Haha, you don't mean that, what do you really want
Me: A Bust of Beethoven. A big one.

Eventually one of them did get me one but only a really small one. That was worse than nothing because spurning it would have been cruel and it also blocked me ever getting a bigger one :(

I still don't have a big bust of Beethoven :(

>>11093828
Just buy one for yourself, anon.

>>11093833
I've promised myself one as a reward when I finish my book.

>>11093616
No you don't.

Enjoy rubbing your Shakespeare head.

>those wise capybara eyes

>>11091327
Is the bust made of soap? You should really not buy busts or statues if you aren't willing to spring for the good stuff.

>>11093972
nigga got dat fire

>>11091327
Where can I get a comfy bust like this? How much are they?

>>11091327
I'd sooner put one of those colourful dragon dildos on my working desk than this shit.

>>11093828
Get a job then and buy it yourself. Be your own man, fuck your parents, fuck the authority!
BUY THE BIG BEETHOVEN BUST

>>11091327
the skakespeare bust looks like a faggot

>>11094617
>greatest theater guy of all time
>looks like a faggot

checks out

>>11094625
i was only referring to the bust, not the person

>>11091327
It only works if you buy pic related to drink your coffee from

>>11094652
Goes nice with this Poe scarf.

>>11094670
This is the ugliest piece of clothing I've ever seen. Anyone who would wear this needs to be burned and shot, in that order.

I want a laughing Parmenides, a Hitler with face down-turned and eyes closed, a Napoleon wearing rictus and copy of Voltaire's death mask.

>>11091327
lol somene made onions wojak real?

>>11091327
Speaking of Shakespeare: I'm planning on reading the Complete Works of William Shakespeare, as almost all English literature includes narratives based off of or referencing his work.
How should I work around reading his poetic but cryptic English (which I know is why he is so great), is it my job to figure out what he means or should I consult something else?

>>11095347
Give try first but if you have issue you ought have reference in hand as you read or edition that gives explanation for what you are reading.

>>11093828
Would a big busty Beethoven suffice?

>>11095347
His language while flowery is pretty simple. It was meant to be understood by and entertain uneducated peasants. There are a lot of double entendres like “speak of country manners” though.

>>11093800
Do this, buy a bunch of them. Do different designs and then sell them for 5x the price to manchild toy collectors

>>11092312
This is not a bust this is actually an image of a bust and it's actually not an image but an illusion of an image made up by pixels and we are not seeing this same illusion because we are looking at different screens and we are actually not perceiving the screen itself we are perceiving what our eyes tell our brain and we are actually not just experiencing this because this experience is put in relation to a nearly endless amount of other information so much that our original experience is hard to find.

>>11095276
this is lit - here we say ought

>>11092272
Imagine trying this hard to convince yourself you're right

>>11091327

can you fit it in your ass?

>>11095670
this is the important question

>>11095556

My personal favorite is "I have awoken half-dead with nothing".

It's actually hard to find beethoven busts of high artistic quality. Best you can find are deathmask impressions, but those are prohibitively expensive.
