Anyone heard of this girl called Akiane? Check out her paintings.
She was featured just now on a tv programme called superhuman geniuses. She's making so much money from her art, she's the main breadwinner for her family and they're now millionaires.

Heard about her a while ago. There was some controversy about whether she actually paints them by herself. Don't know if that was ever resolved.

I wish I could see through her eyes for just one day. It's obvious she sees the world in a totally different way...

Seen these before, on a less snazzy website.
Tbh I see better stuff from pavement chalk-artists, and I couldn't care less if it was drawn by a 9 year old. A lot of art looks like it's done by toddlers anyway.

If her parents keep telling her she's a prodigy all the time, she will be impossible to live with in another 10 years.

This is like having respect for a 12 year old that does a flawless version of Beethoven's 5th on an early 80's synthesizer.

It's good for a 12 year old but that's about it.

Yes, through the pages of St. James'.

There's nothing special about those paintings. She's good with a brush, particularly for her age. That's about it.

Why can't you see the positive side of this instead of your boring negativity ? If she can do this at 8, what might she be capable of before she's even 20? Could you paint this now or ever? I highly doubt it.

Yeah, there's been controversy that she didn't paint them or that she only finished them off. That's certainly a possibility. But if she did do them, then I think it's amazing work.

Her 'art' is dull and uninspiring, but the exploitation of her talents for cash is pretty impressive

I was thinking the same thing. I have to agree with Drum though, she's only 12 or whatever... give her another 10 years. If she's still painting the same uninspired drivel, then fuck it. But maybe she'll have some cool stuff by then. Still, too bad she's steeped in religion. It's hard for me to take that crap seriously.

it's technically impressive for someone her age, but the actual work is just kitsch, on a par with dogs playing cards
