2022-6-23 ISSUES WITH YOUTUBE ARTIST ZHC - UPDATES (Twitch)

[0:00 - 0:28] Good morning, everybody. What's going on, guys? Um, I'm going to be doing a little bit of a
[0:28 - 0:40] long time, guys. Um, I know that normally I don't stream this early. But there's a couple
[0:40 - 0:55] things that I want to talk about that are very important. First off, to the major YouTube
[0:55 - 1:03] artist, ZHC. If you guys don't know who ZHC is, he's this really, really, really big YouTuber
[1:03 - 1:13] that actually makes artwork. And he's done a lot of stuff, right? Mr. Beast and like
[1:13 - 1:21] a whole bunch of different, you know, big name YouTubers. But I'll be honest, with the
[1:21 - 1:33] way he's treated people that he's worked with in the past, I can honestly say I've
[1:33 - 1:44] lost all respect for you ZHC. Like the way you treat the people that you work with is
[1:44 - 1:57] not okay. Like the fact that you can sit there and get people to work for you for free,
[1:57 - 2:05] without paying your artists that put in all that time and all that effort. And then to
[2:05 - 2:19] turn around and not even give them credit for the work that they did is fucked up. And
[2:19 - 2:26] when you do that kind of stuff, ZHC, when you do that kind of stuff, man, you not only
[2:26 - 2:39] make yourself look bad, you make all of us in the art community look like crap. And I'm
[2:39 - 2:51] not gonna let some punk artist who wants to use people make me look like crap. I'm in
[2:51 - 3:02] drawing since I can hold a crayon at four years old. My cousin Jason is one of the
[3:02 - 3:14] most renowned tattoo artists in the state of Alaska and even got offered to be a tattoo
[3:14 - 3:21] artist for Ami James of New York, who is also a very well world renowned tattoo artist in
[3:21 - 3:31] his own right. Now Jason, they turn him down because Ami turned out to be a bit of a prick.
[3:31 - 3:40] But let me tell you, dude, when you make one person in the art community look bad,
[3:40 - 3:51] you make a lot of people in the art community look bad. And what you're doing is not cool.
[3:51 - 3:59] Screwing people out of money, not paying your artists, not giving them breaks whenever
[3:59 - 4:08] they're working on a really large piece, bullying people in your videos, which I have myself
[4:08 - 4:15] witnessed, along with several other YouTubers that are artists and other even other Twitch
[4:15 - 4:30] streamers have spoken on this matter. You need to clean up your act. You really need
[4:30 - 4:39] to clean up your act, ZHC. You really do need to clean up your act. Because when you make
[4:39 - 4:54] one person in the art community look bad, you make all of us look bad. Like you had
[4:54 - 5:02] people from the Art Alliance crew that I'm part of, which I've been proudly been a part
[5:02 - 5:10] of the Art Alliance crew for about a little over four years now, maybe even a little more.
[5:10 - 5:17] And I'm proud to be with those guys. I've known half the people in the Art Alliance
[5:17 - 5:29] crew since freaking 2013. And the fact that I got brought on board makes me grateful because
[5:29 - 5:37] those people see my artwork and they appreciate what I do. And I'm grateful to them for that.
[5:37 - 5:44] But the fact that you can have artists that do work for you, that are directly from the
[5:44 - 5:54] Art Alliance crew that work their butts off every day for you is not okay, dude. The fact
[5:54 - 6:04] that you don't give them the credit that they deserve is bullshit. Like it's messed
[6:04 - 6:11] up. Because let me tell you something, dude. If I was you, you know what I would do? I'd
[6:11 - 6:18] give credit to those artists. All those artists that put in all that time and work, you know
[6:18 - 6:25] what I would do? I wouldn't do like you do. I would actually pay my artists. I would actually
[6:25 - 6:32] when they win something, I would actually give them what they want. I wouldn't sit
[6:32 - 6:41] there and bully people the way that you do. Yes, your artwork. I will give you credit,
[6:41 - 6:48] dude. Your artwork is fucking phenomenal. You have some really good artwork that even
[6:48 - 6:58] myself I'm a fan of. I'm very much a fan of your work. But as a person, I can't respect
[6:58 - 7:12] you. Let me quote something here. And this is coming directly from Lincoln Park's Chester
[7:12 - 7:20] Bennington from the I don't know if any of you guys ever seen the show Tattoo Stories.
[7:20 - 7:31] But there's a quote that you know, Chester said that I very much agree with wholeheartedly.
[7:31 - 7:37] You can be the best tattoo artist in the world. But if you have a shitty attitude,
[7:37 - 7:53] you're not going anywhere near me with that needle. And I agree with that dude. You can
[7:53 - 8:01] have the best artwork in the world. But if you're an ass towards people, and you treat
[8:01 - 8:12] people like garbage, no one's going to want to work for you or with you. The reason why
[8:12 - 8:20] I got brought onto the art alliance crew like I did, not only because you know, was I good
[8:20 - 8:26] friends with one of the people that just happens to do art as well. But I got brought
[8:26 - 8:37] on because I show respect. I respect artists, I respect what they do. I can make a post
[8:37 - 8:44] right now in there. And about 300 of those people will like it. I can go on to YouTube
[8:44 - 8:50] right now. It's a weird art group post up one of my digital art pieces. And I guarantee
[8:50 - 8:56] you for a fact that that thing will get a ton of likes. And you know what, I respect
[8:56 - 9:07] every single artist that I come across. Okay, what I do may be controversial with the fair
[9:07 - 9:17] use artwork and stuff like that. But you know what? Fair use is fair use. I'm transformative
[9:17 - 9:23] with what I do and a lot of people love it. A lot of people love what I turn these images
[9:23 - 9:29] into and how I transform them and how I turn them into dark, weird, really macabre art
[9:29 - 9:37] pieces that people really, really enjoy. And I'm not going to let some punk kid like
[9:37 - 9:52] you come in and ruin it for all the rest of us. Just because you got talent with artwork,
[9:52 - 9:59] just because you got talent with artwork don't mean you're better than anyone, dude. Okay,
[9:59 - 10:06] I respect every single artist that I ever come across, whether they're just starting
[10:06 - 10:15] out or whether they're a veteran in the art community. I respect every single artist,
[10:15 - 10:21] whether they do it as a hobby, whether they do it as their full time job, or whether they're
[10:21 - 10:30] going to school for it. I respect the shit out of every single artist that I come across.
[10:30 - 10:36] Even if I don't know them, I can come across an artist right now on Facebook who will post
[10:36 - 10:42] up an art piece. And you know what I'll do? The first thing I do, I go in there. I don't
[10:42 - 10:49] just like it. I love it. And then I go in and comment, you know, saying, Hey, this
[10:49 - 11:02] artwork is frickin awesome. Because that's the kind of person I am. Which leads me into
[11:02 - 11:10] my next thing, updates. Now, as you guys know, I started this channel strictly for
[11:10 - 11:20] gaming and doing chill streams and stuff like that. But I've noticed a lot of people are
[11:20 - 11:31] actually you know, enjoying a lot of my artwork. And that's something that I've been wanting
[11:31 - 11:41] to give back to for a very, very long time now. Which is why I will be over the next
[11:41 - 11:51] three weeks, I will be converting this channel into strictly in art and music channel. Because
[11:51 - 11:57] I really do want to push my digital artwork, my hand drawn artwork, I really want to push
[11:57 - 12:05] it out there for you guys. Which is why today I will be taking a break. And I will actually
[12:05 - 12:15] be going in and re upping and rebranding and renewing the Odd World Art Digital Art
[12:15 - 12:26] Shop where you guys will be able to actually pick up actual digital copies of my artwork
[12:26 - 12:34] that will be digitally signed by me with my watermark on them on my own site. You guys
[12:34 - 12:42] will actually be able to purchase digital copies of my artwork. And you guys can print
[12:42 - 12:52] them out, you guys can have them mounted on your wall, you know, whatever. But getting
[12:52 - 12:59] back into my artwork is something I've wanted to do for a long time. But due to everything
[12:59 - 13:07] that I've gone through over the last four years, I've not been able to do that. I've
[13:07 - 13:31] not been able to go back and do my artwork like I've been wanting to do. Yo, 90! I'm
[13:31 - 13:36] going to be working on selling digital copy or digital copies for now. And then later
[13:36 - 13:41] on I will try to figure out a way where I can actually, you know, print out and sell
[13:41 - 13:53] physical copies. But for now I will be sticking with, you know, the digital sales and stuff
[13:53 - 14:06] like that. Now when it comes to my hand drawn stuff, that will be like I said digitally
[14:06 - 14:13] scanned, printed out and then shipped out. So like the hand drawn stuff that will be
[14:13 - 14:21] printed out and sent out. But the digital stuff I will have a storefront up by the
[14:21 - 14:28] end of today for my digital artwork through a site that I will be building myself from
[14:28 - 14:36] the ground up. Because one thing and not a lot of people know about me is that when
[14:36 - 14:41] before I even started music, when I was in high school, I actually used to do a lot
[14:41 - 14:51] of web design more specifically through sites like Webs, Wix. I've never used GoDaddy and
[14:51 - 14:57] I don't really think I'm going to. But, you know, I started out with Webs and then from
[14:57 - 15:05] there I went over to Wix and Wix is the site that I've been going through for years now.
[15:05 - 15:16] And they're very, very good. And so I will be re-upping Odd World Art through the site
[15:16 - 15:23] on here. And, you know, just really getting to know you guys even more than what I do
[15:23 - 15:35] now. Are you going to have a separate channel for gaming? Probably not. Like what I'll do
[15:35 - 15:41] is I'll probably end up doing gaming like on the weekends. And then throughout the
[15:41 - 15:48] rest of the week, you know, work on my artwork, work on my, you know, all my music here and
[15:48 - 15:56] there and whatnot. So I'll still be doing gaming on here, but it won't be as prevalent.
[15:56 - 16:06] It's not going to be as big as it was. It's mostly going to be my music and my artwork.
[16:06 - 16:17] Oh, that's because I'm going through StreamYard. StreamYard allows me to have my name up there
[16:17 - 16:47] and whatnot. But not when I wanted to have it happen. Oh, no, no, we got like a slight
[16:47 - 17:02] technical difficulty here. So, hold on. There we go. I fixed it, I think. All right. So
[17:02 - 17:08] hold on, guys. Let me do something here. There we go. All right. We fixed it. Dang,
[17:08 - 17:20] man. That was annoying. Sorry about that, guys. My freaking thing went... My thing went
[17:20 - 17:27] nuts over there for a minute. Shoot. Sorry about that, guys. And again, I would be saved,
[17:27 - 17:37] dude. Will the channel man change? As soon as I can change the name, I will be switching
[17:37 - 17:45] it over to Odd World Art, but I can't do that for another three weeks. So, it'll still
[17:45 - 17:55] be Toge Racer for now, but whenever the three weeks is up and I'm able to switch it up,
[17:55 - 18:10] then I will be. But, you know, like I said, man, I enjoy doing my music and my artwork,
[18:10 - 18:16] mostly my artwork, you know, above anything else. Like I said, I never got the chance
[18:16 - 18:23] over the last four years to really showcase what I can do. You know, I never really got
[18:23 - 18:32] to show what I can do as an artist, as a digital artist, as a fairy use artist, you know, all
[18:32 - 18:40] that. So I never got the chance to showcase that. And I think now is like the best time.
[18:40 - 18:48] Now that I'm in a better mindset, I'm on a platform where everybody is so welcoming,
[18:48 - 18:53] including Nyla's friend, Ryder Flev, who is freaking amazing, who I actually got to meet
[18:53 - 19:01] for the first time through stream last night. Actually, super nice chick, man. She's super
[19:01 - 19:09] cool. Like I actually enjoy Ryder Flev. She's super freaking cool, super nice, and was just
[19:09 - 19:16] so welcoming to me and whatnot. So shout out to Ryder Flev, 100%. Thank you so much
[19:16 - 19:22] for, you know, allowing me to hang out with, you know, your community and have fun. I
[19:22 - 19:37] definitely do appreciate it.
[19:37 - 19:46] I actually have thought about being a tattoo artist. And I actually was supposed to do
[19:46 - 19:53] an apprenticeship right before COVID hit. Like literally like two months before COVID
[19:53 - 19:59] hit, I was supposed to do an apprenticeship for actually one of the more well known tattoo
[19:59 - 20:05] shops around here called Arkham Tattoos, which my high school friend Harry actually
[20:05 - 20:14] still works at to this day, in fact. But unfortunately, due to COVID, they ended up
[20:14 - 20:20] shutting down and actually moving to another city. They literally shut down shop and moved
[20:20 - 20:28] to another city. And they reopened Arkham Tattoos in another city, which is cool, you
[20:28 - 20:41] know, like I get it. So I have actually thought about that. But for me, like doing my artwork
[20:41 - 20:49] and doing what I love to do is what I enjoy most.
[20:49 - 20:54] He does, man. Melon, you are definitely right, dude. And I like does have, you know, some
[20:54 - 21:00] awesome chill streams. And I enjoy what he does, man. There's a reason he's been one
[21:00 - 21:07] of my best friends for like the last nine years. Dude, I swear to God, he knows me
[21:07 - 21:20] almost better than I know myself. And it's kind of creepy at times. I swear to God.
[21:20 - 21:31] Yeah, I know. And I've thought about that. But for me, like, I kind of like doing what
[21:31 - 21:37] I'm doing now, you know, like, I feel like I have more freedom to be able to do what
[21:37 - 21:47] I do. Like, I feel like I have way more freedom to be able to, you know, do the kind of artwork
[21:47 - 21:54] that I know you guys would enjoy and that I enjoy doing and that, you know, you guys
[21:54 - 22:01] enjoy seeing me create. Like, I want to be able to give that to you guys and doing it
[22:01 - 22:07] this way, whether it be by hand or, you know, doing it digitally, I just feel like, you
[22:07 - 22:14] know, I have more freedom to do the kind of artwork that, you know, I enjoy doing and
[22:14 - 22:20] that I'm actually best with. And it's the same thing with music. A lot of people ask
[22:20 - 22:26] me why am I not assigned to a record label? Because I want to be independent. Because
[22:26 - 22:35] I want to be able to release my music how I want and what I want. Like, I want to be
[22:35 - 22:43] able to, you know, give people the music that they want to hear, all while making it to
[22:43 - 22:50] where like it's something I would want to release, you know, like, let's say one day
[22:50 - 22:59] I release an entire album of just crazy hip hop instrumentals. I'll be able to do that
[22:59 - 23:07] on my own. Or if one day I want to release a classical or Castro album, I can do that.
[23:07 - 23:14] Or if I want to release say another EDM album, I can do that. Or if I want to release say
[23:14 - 23:23] a spoken word album, I can do that. So being an independent artist in both areas, it allows
[23:23 - 23:33] me to do what I want, however I want. All while making it all while making the artwork
[23:33 - 23:42] that people love to see me create. And the music that just people just freaking love.
[23:42 - 23:49] So that's kind of like why I enjoy where I'm at now. Because I can create the music that
[23:49 - 24:05] I enjoy that you guys enjoy hearing. And I can create the artwork that you guys see me,
[24:05 - 24:31] why I like being where I'm at. Like I enjoy, you know, creating artwork that people can
[24:31 - 24:42] look back on like, Yo, that is some weird artwork, but that is super cool. Like I like
[24:42 - 24:49] to see the look and the reactions on people's faces when they see me do just a really weird
[24:49 - 24:58] art piece. And then I wrote, that is weird, but super cool. All at the same time. Like
[24:58 - 25:07] I love drawing a reaction. I love to see the reaction when people see certain pieces and
[25:07 - 25:13] they're like, Holy crap, that is actually really, really cool. But also creepy at the
[25:13 - 25:21] same time. Or like when somebody sees one of my graffiti pieces, I want them to be able
[25:21 - 25:30] to be like, Yo, that is literally the coolest graffiti piece I have ever seen in my life.
[25:30 - 25:56] Now let's, let's see if I missed anything from you guys over here. All right, now what
[25:56 - 26:14] am I missing? All right, so I am cut up on shit. We are good. But you know, like I said,
[26:14 - 26:21] man, I'm happy with where I'm at. Like I honestly am glad that I left YouTube and
[26:21 - 26:28] came over here because if I, I can genuinely say that if I didn't make this switch over
[26:28 - 26:38] to here and restarted my career like it needed literally, and I do mean this in every sense
[26:38 - 26:47] of the word, if I didn't make the switch from YouTube over here, I probably wouldn't
[26:47 - 26:58] be alive right now or even be here right now. Me making the switch over to Twitch was literally
[26:58 - 27:11] not only beneficial for me, from a career standpoint, but it literally saved my life.
[27:11 - 27:15] Because of all the crap I've been through over the last four years. As I said, I've
[27:15 - 27:22] not been able to give you guys the artwork that you guys deserve to get out of it. And
[27:22 - 27:30] now that I'm on a better platform, I can do that for you guys. I can start building
[27:30 - 27:44] up a fan base of artists and people that enjoy art and have fun doing it, you know.
[27:44 - 28:09] Like I respect and love all styles of art, man, whether it's music, whether it's regular
[28:09 - 28:16] artwork, whether it's graffiti, whether it's, you know, anime style, traditional hand drawn,
[28:16 - 28:26] whatever it may be, I respect it and I love it. Which is why I keep this song right here
[28:26 - 28:51] in my playlist. Not this one.
[28:51 - 29:19] I'm gonna let you guys hear this for yourselves.
[29:19 - 29:27] We were working from that generation of graffiti that rode on trains. We needed to get in and
[29:27 - 29:32] out and run some real stealth shit. Be quiet, not get caught. So really, man, that same
[29:32 - 29:36] like ethic and that same preparation went into the street fun. You know, we didn't
[29:36 - 29:39] want to get caught. You know, you don't want to get stopped and get ten cans of comic
[29:39 - 29:55] stuff. You don't want to get caught. You don't want to get caught. You don't want to get
[29:55 - 30:15] caught. You don't want to get caught. You don't want to get caught. You don't want to
[30:15 - 30:26] get caught. You don't want to get caught. You don't want to get caught. You don't want
[30:26 - 33:19] to get caught. You don't want to get caught. You don't want to get caught. You don't want
[33:19 - 33:36] to get caught. You don't want to get caught. You don't want to get caught. You don't want to
[33:36 - 33:51] get caught. You don't want to get caught. You don't want to get caught. You don't want
[33:51 - 34:11] to get caught. You don't want to get caught. You don't want to get caught. You don't want
[34:11 - 34:30] to get caught. So, you know, I definitely do respect all styles of artwork, man. I always
[34:30 - 34:37] have. Like I said, whether it's digital, whether it's, you know, graffiti art, whether it's
[34:37 - 34:46] street bombing, whether it's, you know, traditional hand drawn stuff, you know, whether it's cartoon
[34:46 - 34:54] work, animated stuff, abstract, modern, whatever, man. I respect art in general. Always have
[34:54 - 35:14] and always will. Hey, watch. Yes, I have, dude. I actually watch your stuff all the
[35:14 - 35:21] time and I'm actually glad you brought them up, dude. Like I watch their stuff all the
[35:21 - 35:30] freaking time. Oh my God. Yes. They really do have some dope stuff. Like I'm not even
[35:30 - 35:51] going to lie. For street artists and graffiti artists, man, they're super, super sick. There's
[35:51 - 36:18] actually a few other ones that I watch as well. What do you mean what happened to my
[36:18 - 36:44] record? Huh. I'll check that out. Thank you for the heads up, dude. I'm going to check
[36:44 - 36:50] out my discord here in just a sec. But, uh, what that means is that y'all, I guess said,
[36:50 - 36:55] I just wanted to let y'all know what's going on and whatnot. Let you guys know what I'm
[36:55 - 37:05] going to be doing for today and whatnot. But I am going to get on to the discord and
[37:05 - 37:24] see what the hell's up. Yo, let's check that out. Dude. That's what I was about. Then we
[37:24 - 37:31] check it out. I'll look into that, but I like to say, y'all, I am going to bounce off here
[37:31 - 37:35] and get to working on everything. Uh, first things first, I am going to check my discord
[37:35 - 37:41] and find out what in the ever living hell is going on over there. But, uh, like I said,
[37:41 - 37:54] I just wanted to make this live stream not too long. Um, but you know, I just wanted
[37:54 - 37:58] to give you guys enough to let y'all know like what's going on. And like I said, I
[37:58 - 38:04] wanted to, you know, I'll call out that ZHC dude, because like I said, if you guys ever
[38:04 - 38:14] watch ZHC on YouTube, just really pay attention to what he does. Like really pay attention
[38:14 - 38:36] to his videos from 2014 and on, like you'll see how fucked up what he's doing is. But,
[38:36 - 38:41] uh, you know, to all the other artists out there, man, holding it down, like Eli, shout
[38:41 - 38:46] out to Eli, who, like I said, is one of my personal best friends in real life. Shout
[38:46 - 38:52] out to Eli, a hundred percent. Got some amazing fricking artwork. Shout out to all my friends
[38:52 - 38:59] over at the Art Alliance crew. You know, I fricking love you guys. You guys are awesome.
[38:59 - 39:07] No, not necessarily. It's just Fortnite just happens to be one of the ones that I actually
[39:07 - 39:14] just happened to be good with. So that's why I played that one a lot. Cause that just happens
[39:14 - 39:22] to be like one of the ones that I actually am very, very good with. So what do you do?
[39:22 - 39:30] But with that, I say guys, I love you guys and I will see you guys later on either tonight
[39:30 - 39:36] or tomorrow, depending on when I get done with everything. So I'll catch you guys later,
[39:36 - 39:42] man. I love you guys. I hope you guys do enjoy the rest of your morning and I'll catch you
[39:42 - 39:49] guys later, man. As always, stay humble, stay positive. Keep being yourself. Screw when
[39:49 - 39:54] anyone thinks about you guys, man. You guys are awesome. You guys are talented. You guys
[39:54 - 39:59] are amazing. And like I always say, man, don't change for nobody, man. Keep being yourself
[39:59 - 40:05] and keep being you and screw anyone that doesn't like you, man. If someone doesn't
[40:05 - 40:13] like you, screw them. Cause you guys are awesome and I'll catch you guys later, man. Peace.
