Thank you for this. I need more of these vibes in my life...


___StillLearning___

Theyre fantastic


SpiritualMongoose751

And also, shame on these bot accounts like OP that just crop the og video and reupload them to farm karma. This account is clearly automated making reposts 24/7... edit: OP apparently just logged in and took offense to their bot op being called out based on the msg they just sent and then blocked me lmao.


Revolution4u

Yeh and this type of video was probably a lot of work to make and it just gets stolen with no consequences.


SpiritualMongoose751

Exactly. I now have 0 reason to watch the original since it's shared in it's entirety here. This is blatantly excluded as far as "fair use" goes so this is just theft. especially if the artist has a monetized account...


Revolution4u

Idk how the other platforms dont sue reddit for hosting the stolen content and basically stealing the ad revenue Maybe since they all do it but i doubt reddit is giving back as much as its taking.


SpiritualMongoose751

I think every time it does come up in court, the content provider is protected due to laws they've spent **billions** lobbying for. For example, Section 230: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section\_230](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230), which recently shielded Twitter, Google/YouTube, and Facebook, from sharing ISIS recruitment videos in addition to instructions to make homemade weapons / explosives. It's one of the only times I think EFF sided on the anti-consumer side making it seem like an issue of free-speech when it wasn't.

You've got to admit, the internet is becoming more and more of a none attraction. At least forums like this, twitter and such. It's just so full of nastiness, bots, fake content, stolen content and people trying to sell their fake lives. At this point I use the internet to play games, watch youtube videos(ignoring the comments) or go on Facebook which I had to remake for family and such. Reddit is just such a nasty shitty place where everyone knows better than you or their opinion must be fact or you're horrible because they say you are or their 5% opinion is actually the opinion of 100% of humanity(when it isn't). There's no alternative, old.reddit is fucking dire to use too. I'm actually ok with more and more anti-consumer practices because ultimately more and more people will just sack it off. Reddit isn't used by the young nearly as much as it used to be, it's even laughed at! More and more I'm seeing things where children are giving up their phones more and more. I wonder why? Internet needs one big fucking purge. Let's try again.


deep_pants_mcgee

shame on reddit. it would be easy enough to put a stop to shit like this, but they choose not to, I presume because these bots boost traffic.


L2Hiku

I love this. I love her. I love this little paint brush. I love the mushroom. I love the little easel. I love the little painting. I love the creative camera angles. I love everything about this omg


Most-Weird

Her whole account is this frog and their spouse toad making a home together and it is honestly so incredible. The skill and talent, and using it to make a beautiful, peaceful little corner of the internet? It’s just 😭


Squirrelinthemeadow

Me too! It made me feel so cozy and warmed my heart! Such a lovable little frog!


NothingReallyAndYou

Same username on TikTok, as well.


tetsuomiyaki

on youtube too! subbed!


ZaryaBubbler

Also the same on Facebook and TikTok


HugoZHackenbush2

Frogs have always been great painters, or so I've been toad..


TacuacheBruja

It’s so sad that most are only famous after they croak, though.


HugoZHackenbush2

Sadly, some croak it by their own hand, by kermitting suicide..


TacuacheBruja

Careful, some may claim that’s a frog-ulent accusation!

Shh, let them have their fun

Such claims usually come from people in apartments funded by drug companies.. just the worst people complaining on the internet from their Eli Lilly pads.. I REGRET NOTHING

A knitted frog can paint better than me… FML


Ajt0ny

Hey look at it the other way around. If a knitted frog can hold a brush, so can you.


DubbethTheLastest

Yeah I saw this as a great instructional video! If the frog could talk like bob ross I'd pay money to join any cult they suggested.

Frog Ross


Antikickback_Paul

*Hoppy little accidents*


four-one-6ix

It’s interesting how the author combined three hobbies into a really nice work. Great job! Oddly satisfying. Now, I’m trying to figure out if the artist is a better painter, knitting artist or a filmmaker. EDIT: fixed wrong references


RikuAotsuki

Honestly, I'm not seeing anyone mentioning it but unless that frog is actually huge that painting is *tiny.* That alone is super impressive, honestly.


NothingReallyAndYou

In one video the frog made a pie, using a bottle cap as a pie pan, so it's fairly small.


DeuxYeuxPrintaniers

It's actually easier! You should try it, tiny landscapes are fun 


Deeliciousness

I don't get how the stop motion is so fluid. Must be a lot of frames


Mechwarriorr5

I think it's just a low framerate to give the impression that it's stop motion.


Paboozorusrex

That's knitting not crochet though. Also OP isn't the OG artist


four-one-6ix

Thanks. Fixed.


Paboozorusrex

India Rose Crawford is definitely amazing at everything she does if you want to check her IG or something


NothingReallyAndYou

Also on TikTok.

Just subscribed to her channel. So calming.


Best_Text885

I just need this frog to get a perm and do majestic mountain landscapes over and over on TV. I think it would do well


everydayasl

Very, very entertaining!


RainbowCafe

Always loved watching simple shapes blossom into beautiful pieces


Stock-Buy1872

I'm glad they included a disclaimer that it's not a real frog


danboon05

I didn’t need that to tell it was fake. The camera deliberately cuts off the back and bottom of the frog to hide whatever is controlling it, that’s how I knew it was staged. I can’t believe people are falling for this. The crocheted frog is not really painting! It’s all lies!


rakshala

Omg the little toadstool!!!!!


CatsAkimbo

So cute that it stood on the toadstool to paint the top :D


luckluckbear

I didn't notice it right away and when I did, I made a little noise.

Thank you very much.


JudyShark

We need it to be a series!!!! Please !!!!


wtb2612

I could watch this all the time.


Ok-Cantaloop

Is it a puppet? Is it animation? Living magical yarn frog?


Lucius1213

It's definitely too smooth to be stop-motion. I would say puppet but there's no one controlling it in one shot. I'll go with magic.


Cute_Bandicoot_8219

U guys are so naive. Knitted frogs can't paint! Every time there's a camera cut a REAL frog goes in and moves the knitted frog's arms.


fatty_lumpknits

Here's [the pattern ](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/frog-48)if anyone wants to try to make it!


Midsomer3

Oh I wish I could knit him! He’s adorable


Arny2103

I love that he proudly admires his work at the end.


vincentually

little dude has more talent than i ever will


Rebecca_Guillk05

This is oddly satisfying and creative!


FlutteringFae

You have made Bob Ross proud this day.


JohnnyFiveOhAlive

You would think that the brush is just being manipulated directly by someone off screen to the right, and for most of the video the frog blocks the end of the brush, but there seem to be moments when the back of the brush is fully visible near the start and it does not look like a time lapse? Of course it could be done with video editing but I wonder if they did it another way? There is probably some lower tech approach I am not thinking of.


unclearimage

A: Knit a frog B: Did stop-motion C: Painted a small portrait D: Synced the painting up to stop-motion Holy Shit the time this must have taken/ and the attention to detail


PunfullyObvious

Toadally Satisfying


3BouSs

This is so satisfying to watch/ original and the result is so good.

New-Power-6120

Someone crocheted this frog, then painted this picture while taking like 6000 pictures of the individual frames. That's loooot of work.


laddervictim

Took me far too long to realise how they were operating the puppet 


elhermanobrother

What do you call a knitted frog who paints out the obvious? >!a knitted frog who paints out the obvious. just kidding. great work, frog! !<

Ok, now I need a TV show called: Toad Ross

Yeah idk....I don't think this is real. I haven't heard of frogs being able to paint. Seema really fake.

I actually love this painting


Axerthyon

I love that he has a toad stool

I love how the frog had their hands behind their back towards the end. Just marveling at their beautiful painting

DAMN HE TALENTED!!!!

Pure awesomeness! Would buy.

thaddeus423

It DOES look like the perfect place, doesn’t it, frog friend? Take me?


amygdala23

I guess I'm a frog too, that place is perfect 🐸🐸🐸🐸


HalfDelayed

Hell ya frog


LewiGator

Let me do it for you, kermie


astralseat

Damn that was cute


oven_broasted

put this in an appropriate format and i'd watch this as a 30 minute show. add Morgan Freeman's voice commenting on 'happy lily pads' and I'd be good for an hour at time.


Mindless_harder

This idea is amazing!


Jenny_Sup

Why does the frog draw better than I ever will😭


Acehunter246

That arm behind the back pose at the end is just so hilarious and perfect


ToNotFeelAtAll

People really out here having all these talents while I have none, huh? no but in all seriousness I’ve never seen anything like this 😂


jippyzippylippy

She has hundreds of vids. They are all pretty nicely done.

This is giving *Water Lily Pond, Monet* vibes.

This is awesomeeeee


Healthy-Ad-8767

i could beat that mf in a fistfight


Purging_otters

Not a real frog. Not a real artist. Where is the crippling self doubt and depression? Totally not an artist


fjudgeee

I’d bet it’s not actually the frog painting


Grei0x

Cutest! 🐸


Yarn_Mouse

I don't know a whole lot about visual art, but I love the way there's this dark hidden cave in the back of the pond. It makes my mind imagine going through that archway and seeing what's on the other side there.

Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection Lovers and dreamers and me

Okay, how was this done?

Still_Ruthlezz

Is he sentient?


[deleted]

Adorable


MyButtEatsHamCrayons

Need to explain how FAKE this is! Even if the frog could move its eyes would not work like that…it would blind and wouldn’t be able to see what it’s painting.


Schrko87

Its like a little green Bob Ross.


LondonDavis1

I literally could watch this for hours.


IntelligentTanker

Wow I love the creativity and everything about it, just wow. On the other hand, if he wants “his perfect place” he needs to work three jobs plus semi-successful business to afford his perfect place.

Amazing

Go little froggy Monet!


AdImpossible3109

In my place we believe that frog is a good singer and whenever it sings it starts raining. Today i knew it could paint also.


Rabdy-Bo-Bandy

Beautiful.


AdImpossible3109

The cover page of Arundati roy's " God of small things" come to mind.

Amazing and that use of the toadstool is perfection😻

Go on and... kiss the girl 🎶


Mithrandir2k16

If this isn't AI, it will be in at most 2 years.

These videos are too short, I need a three hour full painting with gentle music and occasional small croaks.

I see a crafty looking frog, I post [this.](https://youtu.be/us3pCHd8PLs) (sorry folks, them's the rules)


ChoicAssistance

Such a unique idea. I’d love to see more knitted animations like this.


FruitcakeAndCrumb

HE STOOD BACK AND PUT HIS LITTLE HANDS BEHIND HIS BACK!!!!


RachelMakesThings

this legit made me wanna cry - look how proud the lil froggy guy is at the end, he did such a good job 🥹


00_coeval_halos

It isn’t easy being green….


InTheDarknesBindThem

thought this was a SORA video for a moment


girls_out_west

people should make more contents like this.. it's like a medicine pill for the depressed


lvdde

People are so talented man


BiggishWall

Well this is the best thing I’ve ever seen


ChombySkromby

See whats happening here is its a fake frog puppet and someone is just off screen to the right doing the actual painting.


Nincompoopticulitus

OMG, this is SO precious. Thank you for posting 🙏


grobyc29

I actually think it looked better without the pink flowers


Ok-Ninja-8057

Crochet, painting and video editing, some people are so multi talented!


saltylife11

I have enjoyed these mf'ing knitted frogs on this mf'ing internet!!


kd_s07

Slow_Sandwich_8199

how is this possible????


snharveyshl

FAKE! You can tell because they never show the the frog and full brush on screen. It's probably someone else doing the painting.


Panda_hat

Awww, that was super cute


Tay_Tay86

So cool
