From the network that brought you prestige drama comes something else entirely.
He paints in greyscale. He smokes indoors. He answers to no one.
Ralph Rumpelton is not the artist the world asked for. But according to Dr. Norbert F. Vensmire, he is the artist the world deserves.
Set against the shadowy, largely undefined backdrop of wherever Rumpelton actually lives, Everybody Digs Ralph Rumpelton follows one man's uncompromising journey to put brush — or cursor — to canvas, one MS Paint session at a time. Critics call his work baffling. Collectors call his work inaccessible. Rumpelton calls his work done.
Featuring a supporting performance by the red-tipped implement of uncertain purpose, a cigarette that burns for the entire runtime, and a canvas that may or may not be a door.
"I didn't set out to make art," Rumpelton is heard to say in the trailer. "I set out to make something."
A pause.
"Same thing."
Everybody Digs Ralph Rumpelton. This winter on HBO.
Rated TV-MA. Dr. Vensmire appears courtesy of the Royal Institute of Semiotic Studies, Antwerp.
