Sergio Furnari said he thought the lifesize sculpture – which no one commissioned – would raise ‘millions’ of dollars
To add injury to insult, Furnari recently broke his foot working on the statue, after tripping over a roll of tape in his studio.
“Is it cursed? Maybe. I don’t know,” he told the Guardian.
Summary: Artist tried to cash in on a person’s death only to find that the hateful people that were supposed to like the hateful person dont actually care about him one way or the other … and everyone with sense actually hates the guy.
More: Apprently he will put it on times square in 10th of September to raise awareness. Make sure to prepare your popcorns.
Awareness of what? I’m already aware that Charlie Kirk is dead.
"Instead, Furnari said he made the statue in an effort to “glorify and to exercise the first amendment, this freedom of speech”
¯ _(ツ)_/¯
Reminded me of this
So grifter is furious that he couldn’t monetise far right? Fucking good riddance then. Not because I’m saying this to defend those cretins. Making this persons statue is basically means he’s trying to immortalise his existence means his views too. If you don’t like him why make a fucking statue? What sort of brain dead idea is this? He could have donated that money to a charity instead trying to make easy bucks.
There should be a statue of Ron DeSantis killing old people with an axe

Needs a sign. Empathy would have gone a long way.
Unrecognizable without a smaller face.
Not a single one of the bots that admired him wants his statue.
With or without ^
gang violence^ the neck hole?Hm.
If I turn it into a fountain, does the value of the statue increase or decrease?
There’s no way some idiot that puts a cool mil into the right political spectrum wouldn’t but that. He just didn’t get enough coverage yet. Kinda sad we’re helping, but i’m aparently doing that too. :(
My favorite comment on this statue, Charlie Kirk has become what he hates most, a person of color.
It looks like Russell Peters.
People are cheap, man
Or people don’t like nazis, it’s a mystery!
It’s so funny to see a grifter crash out like that. Ah we need more of this. Legit thinking of edging grifters into unsustainable businesses might be the highest return meme of this decade.
I heard the main reason people didn’t want to buy this is that it doesn’t adequately reflect Charlie Kirk’s towering stature in the world. If he made a 100-foot-high version in gold, Elon Musk told me he’d personally pay billions for it.
Many people are saying this
It’s also just objectively a horrible statue. The body proportions are just awful. You can tell he’s spent 90 percent of his time and effort on the head and just draped the body in baggy clothing to hide his work.
Hey, give the man a break. It may be a terrible, ugly sculpture of a nasty, hateful man but he only wants a few million dollars for it. It probably took him days to make!
I guess I shouldn’t blame man for trying to scam the right, I mean they are basically asking for it.
true enough, should have done a “Kirk Coin” or a Kirk Phone :)
I think what he meant is nazis are cheap.
The rich ones can spend money on elections that buys them power, but they absolutely will not waste their money on statues.
Other nazis are really really cheap.
The ones with money know Charlie was a pawn and isn’t useful to them anymore.
Just another broken rod in the fasces
You should see a doctor about that.
Kind of like the same result of JFK for “opposite reasons.”
“People are cheap” is something you say when someone tries to haggle a 90% discount on your like-new dresser that you listed for an already cheap $40 on craigslist. It is not something you say when someone fails to buy your statue of a person who was human garbage, made out of actual garbage, for 1000% return on your already bullshit overinflated supposed cost of 100k for like $200 in materials and your (apparently) very precious time and effort. You’re cheap dude, and an idiot. Get a commission first and make an actual sculpture out of actual sculpting materials (clay, stone, metal, even fucking plaster) instead of spray painting a cotton t shirt and some Levi’s, dude. Your time is worthless when this is the outcome.
If I had a shooting range and this shit was like $2100 I’d buy it.
I love historical reenactments

This is the funniest article:
In desperation, Furnari set up an online fundraising campaign, hoping to raise an initial $150,000, but potentially millions of dollars, which he said would allow him to take the statue on tour. As of Thursday, he had raised $1,400.
And then he goes on:
“Things financially are a total, absolute nightmare. It’s like wow. People are cheap, man. You know, people talk, talk – I know lots of people out there, and everybody’s so cheap. You know, like, it’s disgusting how cheap they are.”
He also compares himself to Michelangelo
Maybe he meant Michaelangelo the ninja turtle.
DON’T YOU DARE BESMIRCH MICHAELANGELO’S PARTY DUDE NAME!!!
I mean… cowabunga, my dude
Too much time has passed for him to make money on the Kirk grift. Gotta ride that corpse before everyone else riding it wears it down to dust.
Maybe he’s hoping this article will get enough people making fun of him that our disrespect will catch the right’s attention and paying him millions will be owning the libs. There might be money in that grift, still.
Yeah, Erika beat everyone to that.
, but man, people are strange out there,” he said.
Errr…we didn’t spend 100k on an ugly statue of a racist piece of shit. So who’s the strange one here?
Yeah, that’s the kind of strange I can get behind lol
Maybe if he sold tickets to shoot at it?
“Try to hit Charlie” 25 dollars / shot at 100m.
Awesome idea! If nothing, it might encourage TPUSA to buy it to save his image. If they don’t, then we’ll know what they really feel about him.
Ironically that would get enough ragebait to sell the statue
Hit the neck and win a prize!
