I was watching a video by Danny Gonzalez about Conspiracy Theories while I was going through papers I have stacked everywhere. He talked a lot about time travel. Among my other papers, mostly art, I found evidence that I am a time traveler myself! (Or an oracle, but I think time travel is cooler.)
So here’s what I found out. I either predicted COVID19 in 2008, or I had already seen it happen in 2020, then gotten back to year 2008, made art about it, gotten amnesia and lost all my memories of my time traveling. Let me show you the proof!
Content warning: A disturbing drawing of a murderer clown and a victim with blood ahead
Proof of time travel
In this artwork we see lady liberty covering herself with a cloth (=mask) and she’s trapped inside a bubble with the weird shape that doesn’t resemble anything else than this…
How do we know it’s lady liberty? Well see the colors? It’s white, red and blue! The colors of American flag! It could also be Croatia, United Kingdom, Iceland, Norway, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Paraguay, Dallas, Labuan, Rocha, Sorbs, Federal Rebublic of Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro, Republic of Crimea, Espiríto Santo, Fort Smith, Gaugauzia, Kayin State, Khahassia, Mannheim, Mindanao, Liberia, Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Sabah, Schleswig-Holstein, Valledupar, Turov, Serbia, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Transnistria, Maracaibo, Bydgoszcz, Manatí Puerto Rico, France, Iowa, Cabo Verde, Costa Rica, North Korea, Thailand, Cuba or Hawaii (and there’s even more options here) because they share the same colours, but let’s just go with the most obvious answer, USA.
So what about this artwork? Is this COVID19 too? (Art from 2008 again.)
Clearly this creature is shaped like the COVID19 virus and it’s breathing! COVID is a respiratory illness, so breathing is a clear symbol for… breathing! But wait, there’s more!
This one predicts the stock market crash after the COVID19 lockdown in 2020. And the artwork is from 2008!
As you can see, the woman’s dress is made from the stock page in a newspaper. There’s blood dripping from the top of the artwork, but the blood turns into spores, that look like COVID19 viruses (yet again!). The red color on the bottom of the page looks like a fire that’s going on somewhere in the distance. The fire symbolises the destruction COVID19 did to the stock market. The woman also seems to hold a glass of alcohol. That probably symbolises the alcohol people drank during lockdown while getting pantsdrunk. Or maybe it’s not alcohol, but blood!
Other predictions
Being able to predict COVID19 alone isn’t that impressive. A real time traveler would know so much more! So here’s some more examples of things I have predicted with my art!
Remember the killer clowns of 2016? I predicted that in 2004!
One of the oldest works from me. What could it predict? Saimaa ringed seal livestream by WWF?
This one predicts the rise of D&D podcasts! I knew that was going to happen in 2004 already!
Here’s a weird one. Seems like a completely normal drawing of a mermaid, right?
WRONG!
See the text hidden in the waves? “Pahuuden makkara” meaning the evil sausage. This is a prediction of the poisoned sausages of York in 2019! And the artwork is done in 2005!
How would you feel if I told you I also predicted the controversy behind the 2020 Froot Loops Toucan Mascot’s design change? Well I probably didn’t, but look, I made a lino print of a toucan in 2002! Close enough!
This drawing of a horse looks just like the Ford Mustang logo, doesn’t it? Well, it’s a prediction of the 2020 Ford Mustang electric car naming controversy!
This artwork from year 2003 predicts a hit movie from 2014! Over 10 years after this piece was made, the movie Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda hit the box officed with a storm!
Now I assume you’re eager to hear my actual thoughts behind my own artworks. If you’re an intelligent human being, you probably guessed this was all just satire, so let’s go through the real ideas behind the artworks.
Lady Liberty and COVID19
I had just gotten new aquarelle pencils and learned that you can do all kinds of tricks with them. Tricks like scrape pieces off of them on wet paper! The “virus” on the first art piece is just me testing out how the pencil works on wet paper. I then decided to draw a sketch of a woman next to it. They are separate drawings at this point. But they look like they belong together, so I draw the bubble around them and add similar scraped aquarelle pencil on the woman’s cloth to make them match. That’s all there is. Two separate pieces on same paper to save paper.
COVID 19 virus breathing
That’s not COVID19, that’s pallosiira. It’s a character of mine based on an isopod species living in Finland. Also it’s not breathing, it’s sucking! For some reason Pallosiira sucks.
Market crash lady
The reason I used stock market page for the dress was that I didn’t want the dress to have words. It was the only page that had enough stuff other than words to cut out the dress shape. The background is yet again just me testing out the aquarelle pencils.
Killer Clown
This is fanart for a horror movie I saw.
Saimaa Ringed Seal
My teacher told us all to draw an animal. I chose the easiest one.
D&D podcasts
I was a tabletop rpg nerd as a teen. This is just fanart for a game I played.
Evil sausage mermaid
I was going to send this to a teen magazine under the pseudonym Pahuuden Makkara, but accidentally also put my real name on it! So I never sent it in.
Toucan
Yet another piece where someone else told me what to make (an animal) and I chose the simplest one.
Ford Mustang
It’s just a horse.
Sharktopus movie
I was obsessed with sea monsters at one point. It’s not even a sharktopus, but my point was to show that if you just squint your eyes enough and dig deep enough, anything can be a prediction of almost anything.
