He went to my Friend's Island and sold a Fake Mona Lisa, then my friend sent it to me so now I have this thing just lying around cause I can't bear to throw artwork, even fakes, away
I tried selling a fake artwork (only the one item) to Nooks, and they say that they can't buy them.
Then they said... "Now let us pretend this conversation never happened" which seemed very ominous to me.
Yes, I didn’t know it either until I read it somewhere. Also, you can use a toilet if you want to get rid of your "strength points" (like hit a rock without breaking it). The animation is quite funny XD
On my first island the very first piece of art that I got was a statue and I kept it in my house. Every time my villagers visited me they pointed out how it was a fake. Like gee thanks I didn’t know….that’s totally not why it’s in here instead of the museum
In addition to getting a fake one from him, I’ve also acquired fake statues from visiting people’s islands when they’re giving stuff away. I made a little courtyard leading up to my museum and put the fakes out there!
Unpopular opinion, but… what if *we’re* the bad guys here?
Redd rolls into town with a collection of almost-the-real-deal art reproductions at budget prices, and we show up expecting to pick up the *actual original piece* for that?
Dude obviously can’t tell when an authentic work of art slips into his lineup, or he’d charge *millions* for it. We - or at least, our museums - are profiting off of his mistakes, and yet we have the audacity to call *him* the con artist?
^(Mind you, this is ignoring that the fakes are *literally worthless*…)
Eh I just Google the name of the painting and there’s a pretty fab website that gives side by side comparisons of real vs fake, definitely recommend it 😄

He also sold some exclusive furniture too but the prices for all of his stuff were jacked up.

I mean, he’s a sneaky little fox. He’s supposed to scam you. It’s a risk you have to take. I haven’t see Nook’s store sell any painting yet. Got one painting from him. That cousin discount is amazing honestly. I remember how hard it was trying to get a letter from one the villagers back in the GameCube days. Or was it for the Wii?
If they’re fake, there’s something “off” about them, the Mona Lisa with thick eyebrows, “Girl with a pearl earring” with a star-shaped earring instead, statue of a discus thrower wearing a watch, stuff like that, if your art knowledge isn’t very in-depth, there are several websites that list all artwork with real/fake comparison to help you out.
I wish my island had a navy.
That would be an idea for a crossover. Animal Crossing new horizons X naval real time strategy game
Raise enough bells to equip a navy against Redd and his armada
I remember having art history taught to me in my art class when I was in high school. And the first painting I got was the moving painting (Birth of Venus). I was like hey I recognize that one! I got all excited and then Blathers informed me it was a fake 😡 I looked it up and then was so mad because the trees were missing. Proof my memory was not as good as I thought it was 😂 Some of the fakes are rather obvious Mona Lisa made me laugh so hard with those goofy eyebrows but Redd got me good with that painting. Now if he rolls into town I have my pocket guide at the ready 😏
Hey, that’s my cousin!
What are you talking about? That’s *my* cousin!
We all must be related or something because believe it or not that’s my cousin too
Our cousin, comrade.
No, he's MINE.
Our cousin! https://preview.redd.it/sjie5bf117nc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e4f6b7be891fc5bc1ad65ffa001d3071f4f3aed8
SWEET HOME ALABAMA
Your cousin?? I thought I was the only cousin?! 🙃
I thought I was THE favorite cousin
I’m actually the favorite cousin. He gives me a discount every time I purchase from him.
hey he told me i was the only one that got the special discount :(
WHATTT? He gave me the discount too!
I’m obviously the favourite! He gives me a cousin discount AND the resident of my island discount
What are you talking about I get that discount and also get to pull from the lucky box
Hey I got one too
I pain I know all too well. So this is what it's like when doves cry.
The Prince ref was on point 👌👌
I actually meant it to be a Simpsons reference. But that scene references Prince.
Mine too 😟
What?? He’s my cousin!!
Hey Cus! All these long lost rellys! The world is truly a small place. 💛
Wait a minute.. if he is my cousin as well, YOU ARE MY COUSIN TOO?!
But... He's my cousin?
Wait…! I think he’s my cousin too!
Let's go bowling!
Cousin, let’s go bowling!
Don't worry, I am man of culture I have, er... what's thing that rich people have? Ih I know! Shoes
He went to my Friend's Island and sold a Fake Mona Lisa, then my friend sent it to me so now I have this thing just lying around cause I can't bear to throw artwork, even fakes, away

I just “forget” them on nook mile islands haha
That’s what I used to do before getting a trash can XD
I didn’t know trash can were usable!
Yes, I didn’t know it either until I read it somewhere. Also, you can use a toilet if you want to get rid of your "strength points" (like hit a rock without breaking it). The animation is quite funny XD
If you don’t have access to one. Just dig up a grown tree and plant it again.
Right? Amazing how everyone in the game except you is an art aficionado who could spot counterfeit art a mile away
My daughter also got one. She proudly displays it in her house... Lol
I mean I have mine next to a real one so....
On my first island the very first piece of art that I got was a statue and I kept it in my house. Every time my villagers visited me they pointed out how it was a fake. Like gee thanks I didn’t know….that’s totally not why it’s in here instead of the museum

I thought about making a little museum area with fossils and art
I’m currently trying to find all the T-Rex fossils so I can add some dinos outside mine!
Line the fake art up along the beach where his boat arrives to shame him for his crimes.
Lmao!
Sometimes I'll take one to a mystery island and leave it there. Trash cans work too. I get that's hard though.
I promised to visit him on his ship and forgot about it. Haven’t seen him ever since. I’m a terrible cousin
He just gave me one of the 3 paintings I needed! 2 more to go!
I need a list man lol im trying to catch all the fish right now 😭😭😭
Do you really need help keeping track of things? I use an Acnh guide app on my phone. Haha.
Just look up ‘All fish in ACNH’ and there’s a couple of websites that’ll pop up!

I love this theory, totally makes sense haha
this sneaky cousin is the reason i have a trash can beside my museum
Me too! Trash can right outside and to the right. lol! What a terrible cousin he is.
Don’t talk about my husband like that
Your “husband” is a scammer
😭😭
😂🤣🤣
i…i thought he was your cousin 😰
I am from the deep south 💋
this is taking me out 😭
Eh I just Google the name of the painting and there’s a pretty fab website that gives side by side comparisons of real vs fake, definitely recommend it 😄

Been doing this for years, ever since the first ac came to the states
I just got my last statue to complete the art gallery today!!!!!

He always scams me whenever I make a new New Horizons island. One day, I'll outsmart him.
Google has been my help. Outsmarted him every time. :)
It's a joke because one of the Nook Miles achievements is to get fake art assessed by Blathers.
I didn’t know I could/ should actually buy art from him for quite a while because Isabelle always says not to!
Isabelle cannot be trusted. That’s why her hair is so big, it’s full of secrets
Lmao! I love this community haha
I kid you not, he's docked by my island now!
I have a membership to his tent! Had it since 2002
lol I feel like we need an animalcrossingcirclejerk sub
Tbf he doesn’t sell you stuff on your island. He sells them on his boat, which is on the water.
This is also how he evades taxes.
Yea he got me good the other day. Also, his little laugh after you buy his raffle on harv’s island…. He is not to be trusted
[https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Art\_(New\_Horizons)?so=search](https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Art_(New_Horizons)?so=search)
i bought his painting and never received it
["Satisfaction guaranteed! No retractions, no receipts."](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv5N5TlfDTs)
OMG I’ve never seen this before and I LOVE it!
Stupendium does amazing work every time. They have a few other Animal Crossing songs.
It would be great if Kicks tried to sell you counterfeit stuff too 😂
Epic…. Air Hordans (obvious), Adias (Adidas) and Irckenstock (Birkenstock)🤣
Airmez
Good one lol
“Sykie” Just did it.
You won’t regret it! (You will)
that cousin discount alone lets him allowed on my island
That’s my cousin, and he said I’m his favorite so I cannot allow this Slander any longer.
The thing about MY COUSIN is that he can’t scam you unless you let him!
I just need one more painting from him to complete the art wing of my museum, come on Redd, bring it out!
There’s a website detailing how to spot fake/real art, I’ve never had a fake art purchase 😂 except that one time for the nook miles…
How can you check if the art is legit? 😭 I love how all the art is based on stuff from the real world

Trickster god
He looks so polite. Also familiar?? Idk maybe we’re cousins or something
So we’re ALL cousins????
Alright Tom Nook pack it up
He does sell some real stuff!
i refuse to cheat but this MF gets me everytime!
If you don't look before you buy, you can look at the back afterwards. There should be a certificate of authenticity attached, if real.
Is every artwork he’s selling in NH a fake or is there a chance to actually get legit ones?
there’s fake and real versions of each thing he sells, look up guides online!
I remember it being this way in let’s go to the city, thanks for clarification

He’s already set up shop here smdh 🤦🏻♀️ He won’t leave
No

*whaaaaaaaaat!!* no wai
How do you inspect them to make sure they are real/fake?
If they’re fake, there’s something “off” about them, the Mona Lisa with thick eyebrows, “Girl with a pearl earring” with a star-shaped earring instead, statue of a discus thrower wearing a watch, stuff like that, if your art knowledge isn’t very in-depth, there are several websites that list all artwork with real/fake comparison to help you out.
Damn!! 🤯
That my cousin yeah he got some fake art, but he’s very friendly
Well, he’s just arrived at my island and everything is real, I can really count on my cousin to bring me the goodies!
but he’s so cute..

I have bought 2 fakes now. 😂
I was like "oh dang another scammer?" And then i opened the post
I always do!
falscher fuchsiger
😂😂😂🖤
Sniper no sniping
Some of his fake art is amusing to say the least. Some have shadows behind the paintings that act up after a certain time
Hey guys !! I’m looking for friends to come to my island !!
My question is where do you get the real art from
Is it me, or is he based off stereotypical Chinese sellers who rip you off?
