ya, genius often works that way. My BIL is a manic depressive and his life was chaos for years. Made amazing things during that time but I'm glad for everybody that things have calmed down.
As someone who has spent much of their live avoiding trying things out of a fear of failure, I really appreciate you showing "teh lernin". I'm getting better, but knowing that someone who makes such amazing stuff "fails" helps.
The fact that you tried a completely new medium for the first time and absolutely smashed the first project you use it for just shows what a buttload of talent you have. Breathtaking!
I’ve been watching Bobby for a couple years now and I hope he knows how much of an impact he has on the art community! Not only does he inspire so many people but he breaks out of the mold to create new pieces of art that are creative, challenging, and unique in their own right! We love you Bobby, you’re hilarious and super talented!
Holy hell, watching it come together at the end was so unbelievably satisfying. Bobby, your skill and precision is unmatched. An artist through and through. I thoroughly enjoy watching you make your many things. Thank you for the giggles :D sending good vibes your way~
@@senfdame528Someone analysed languages and found out that German language isn't in any way ugly by nature. It's only a cultural thing triggered by a single Austrian one. We have 80 years later now - conditions that ugly stuff can repeat still apply... on your country as well. So ... stop that.
Wifey here, jumped on my hubby's account lol. So... I love that butterfly. We have a thing in our family whenever someone passes we have a butterfly visit. "Butterfly on a Forget Me Not" was one of the first poems I ever wrote. It was a poem about what happened after my auntie passed when we were saying goodbye. Not a clue why I just said all that here but your creation was so beautiful and evoked so much, when it was shining in the fading light. Thank you.
I've been watching you for a long time, and my favorite part of your videos is the part where you play this beautifully moving music while you finish the pieces you're working on, and it's such a juxtaposition of your silliness and your talent. It just comes together in this symphony of beauty... I wish I could explain how it feels. You are so talented. I love watching you create from nothing to beauty.
I just love how the table keeps getting new marks from the different projects over the years and you can still see them when a new video comes out like when Bobby desinged that gorgeous rock and instead of paper he painted it on the table and now everytime we see the holes from the screws I will remember this beauty for those who didn't feel like checking the whole page of the original artist they have a really nice section(in japanese) about how the desings are 1/1 in sice but not meant to be exact replicas of any species and more of the product of observation, they describe how finding what intricate details or exagerated parts to add it's the pain and the beauty of this craft for them as those choices that are less realistic end up giving a more lively result to the human eye, I found it so insightful I really wanted to share it here
I love how you show the failures as well and not hide them, the failures help you reach a higher level of understanding. Art really does force you get get out of your comfort zone and push you past the limits. Thank you Bobby keep up the great work you do.
I too struggle with depression and anxiety and find it hard to find the motivation to do what I love. I crochet all things. Watching your video has motivated me to start up again. So, that's what I'm going to do today. Thank you.
Oh my goodness, Bobby, that is absolutely beautiful. I don't have the patience for something that meticulous and tiny. Congratulations on your sobriety, remember, one day at a time! We're all proud of you and rooting for you!
The amount of times I have to rewind to catch this or that... worth it. That you combine the comedic with the absolutely stunningly beautiful, all while teaching on top of it all... I guess what I'm tryin' to say is I appreciate your hard work, in every aspect. Thanks for what you do. You're really an inspiration for all.
bobby, this is absolutely, utterly stunning. you are so incredibly amazing at what you do….but i’m so sorry to tell you that butterflies have 6 legs, not 4…
“The joy and inspiration you bring through your work make me feel a little selfish for wanting to see even more of it. But I understand how challenges can arise in the creative process, and I truly empathize with that. Please know that I support you wholeheartedly, no matter what. Even if you only make one video a year, that’s more than enough-as long as you’re taking care of yourself and staying mindful on your journey to recovery and well-being.”
I love you content Bobby and using your platform to encourage people to get help with mental health. I used to have mental health issues and currently having a lot of physical health issues. Your videos bring me a lot of joy in a stressful time. THANK YOU BOBBY
Please do not use Betterhelp!!!! They are known for a plethora of controversies such as having truly atrocious therapists (some not even licensed), selling customer health data, and listing therapists without their knowledge. I understand how difficult it is to make money as an artist, but frankly I’m quite disappointed that Bobby hasn’t done his research before taking this sponsor.
This is such a masterpiece! The light through the fibers of the bamboo on the wings … the way the leaves meet the stem … the burpy voice over … Bobby, it’s perfection.
I'm very impressed by your gental handling, Bobby! As a carver of miniatures, or whittler of small sculptures, all I can say is wow. Impressed...get it?...impressed by gentleness. ☺️
This man once again proofed his abillity to work through tricky crafting situations, learned new things and finished an artwork so fabulous..its just amazing. Damn im impressed
Everybody assemble! BOBBY’S BACK! 🎉😂 that end result looks stunning. I hope you will feel more like yourself again soon Bobby…but even if Betterhelp might be a good fit for you, I hope you will take some time to dive into all the stories out there that are quite different and even alarming. ❤ sending love from the Netherlands
I've been watching this channel for a long time and tbh it's been wonderful watching him branch out and try new things. Your art had only gotten more stunning, Bobby!
Every video its something. This time Bobby showed me a butterfly looks REALLY weird with 4 legs 😂 (Edit) Ok yall, I literally had to look up photos of butterflies and HOLLY SHOT it looks like they only have 4 legs, help!!!😭 I know they have six, Google knows they have six, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THEIRS 4!!!! ITS SO WEIRD
I've always enjoyed your videos, especially the humor involved, but I never comment about the sheer heart, soul and integrity that you pour into your art. You truly are one in a million, Bobby.
My God. You are a master at your craft! This is utterly amazing wewd carving! I hope you sell this stuff for very high prices. You are totally worth it.
Bobby,, you and your art are amazing,, your patience and effort are unmatched, I know personal issues like depression are tough foes and aren't always seen ,but your art reflects a side I think all of us wish we could express with such masterfulness, you are special... Cant wait for the next project!!!
The finished piece brings about a sense of calm and peace. You'd never know of the chaos that went into making it if not for the video. Great work, as always
I wish people would actually look into the BetterHelp stuff instead of going off of misinformation. It drives me bonkers that recalcitrant internet politics are preventing people from a lower-cost form of mental healthcare.
I completely understand how difficult it is to make a living as an artist, however Betterhelp literally sold MILLIONS of users health data, IP addresses, and emails. All of this is public information, and they were sued by the FTC. People deserve affordable mental healthcare, but Betterhelp is far from a good option. I adore Bobby’s work and have been watching him for years, but it is frankly negligent of him to not do even basic research on the company he took a sponsor for.
I thought about addressing this in the video. You are correct, monarch butterflies do have six legs, but the two up front are so tiny and underdeveloped that you can't even see them. That's why I didn't include them❤
Ya know what my dude.... I don't know why, but the sheer beauty of the simplicity brought tears to my eyes just now. There's a certain "Magic" to the things you create that touches my heart and I am SO happy that I found your channel those many years ago! Honestly, the best channel I've ever had the honor of watching and following. Thank you for all you do Bobby, you have brought so much beauty into this world with your creations! Truly "Bobby Duke's Art!"
Yesterday was a very personal and disappointing day. Seeing this video didn't necessarily make me smile, but it did make me smirk. I'm not much for smiling right now, but I like watching your content. Beautiful piece, I wish I had my own space to do some stuff like this.
Thank you for your videos. Working at a stressful job as a firefighter, your videos help me relax and also have inspiration for my art. Again thank you, Bobby, for your beautiful art.
art has never done something to me . but your work is always special . never had to cry for art and this has done it for me . bobby you always are showing us special works . and you all have made them with sweat blood and some even with tears . love to be and stay in the duke art family . peace and love from the netherlands
I've been watching your videos since 2019. i can say watching them helps me with my anxiety and helps take my mind off of whats going on in my reality. I look forward to your videos and can't wait to see what you come up with next. Stay strong brother
I love how much of a positive roll model you are and that you’re open about the process of making art and how that process includes a lot of failing. On top of that watching you overcome such steep challenges makes for very a engaging video and it’s truly satisfying to see the end product. On top of that this piece is insane and beautiful and inspiring. Truly great work
I know a lot of people in the comments are going to give you a hard time about the BetterHelp sponsorship, but I'm not here to tell you who you should and should not take sponsorships from. I trust you to make the right decision for you and not try to sell us on something you don't actually believe in. What I would really like is to hear about what BetterHelp is doing to fix the issues and rebuild trust with their consumers. Just a thought🤷♀️
Recently I'm not only looking forward to what you create and be entertained by your video but also to see you looking much more rested and healthy and seemingly centered. It makes me so happy for you and your family. Good luck and all the strength for your healing journey
You’re artwork is always so beautiful and the comedy is very comforting. Making art is one of those things if you weren’t laughing you’d cry. I really needed this today, thank you for sharing your art and putting all the work into the edits.
Bobby, (I hope it's not presumptuous of me to call you Bobby), I am literally in awe of your talent and skill. Also, I am so proud of you for getting the help you need. We need you in this world, so please keep going.
@@OfficialSylvantianAUTTP Puerto Rico it is a country, yes we are a territory, but we are consider a country aswell. We are not define for what the US has imposed into us.
@@OfficialSylvantianAUTTP Use the logic that you want. I'm telling you as a person born and raised in Puerto Rico, we are a country, yes we are a territory, but we still have our on form of government, we have governor, that we vote for, we can't vote for the US president, laws from the US don't apply here, because we make our own laws, we have our own flag, our own athom. We are just stuck being territory of the US, because Spain made an illegal trade with the US, pretty much gifting the island illegally. Just because we are a territory, doesn't mean we aren't our own country. Learn our history before talking about stuff you clearly have no knowledge of.
@@TheDarkOne1920 Spain lost the war, so they lost Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. You’d still be Spanish if they won the war. Your “nation” was colonized in 1493, and the USA has controlled it since 1898. Your “nation” has been colonized for 531 years and 93 days. You are not a country.
I respect getting that bread when you accept sponsors. But you should not support BetterHelp, nor advertise it. Advertising their service directly affects actual, real people with significant problems and are looking for help, and you are sending them to a company that has consistently shown their disregard for the theraputic process. Normally, even with awful companies, I still just don't care. But BetterHelp deals with lives, and in a very poor way. By advertising for them, you're assisting in that borderline abuse.
As long as they don't *defend* BetterHelp I don't typically mind since I'm sure they pay stupidly well. Aging Wheels did that and chat harassed him enough to get him to return the money though
Bobby is a real person with significant problems, he was looking for help and got it from them. Perhaps BetterHelp is doing better, so as long as it's working for him and he believes in it then there's no problem with him advertising the company. Sometimes what works for one person, doesn't work for others.
To be a little deep here. It's perfect that you chose to do a butterfly coming out of the chrysalis. It shows your continuous growth with art and your health. You are truly an amazing human, Bobby.
Dude! Out of all your projects, I think this one amazed me the most! You literally had to bend the material to your will! And it turned out so beautifully.
Maaaate, I've randomly come across your video's and of course I've subscribed! You're ridiculously talented, amazing at what you do. The best part? The way you take us on the journey of your work is hilarious and brilliantly out together!! Epic stuff buddy!! I'd love to see you on TV. Children would LOVE you!!
When the brilliant mind of BOBBY DUKE shows up on your recommendations you watch and then show your child (who is 11 and has been watching him for a long time) to get inspired to do her art.. (Yes she is an actual artist at the age of 11)
Dude, you was in Puerto Rico in recent times. Which is hard to kind of find coquis lately. You literally had the chance to listen their magical singing. Is a blessing experience.
late, but the monarch (the species the butterfly in this piece seems to be based on) along with most of the larger butterflies, is part of the "brush footed" family (known scientifically as Nymphalidae.) A defining trait of this family is that their front pair of legs are reduced and not useful for walking, and instead stay folded against their body.
Bobby, enough people have spoken up about BetterHelp being bad news on your videos that I'm beginning to wonder if you're expressly ignoring it and making money is more important to you. I really hope I'm wrong. Please educate yourself and revoke your partnership with them.
I love knowing that over the years your content and humor is just as goofy as the beginning. It hasn't changed in the best way possible and I love that you have fun with your art. I try to remember that I make things because I enjoy it, not for other people because of you. Much love
Me: damn bobby I think you've really outdone yourself, this is beautiful, wow those legs are so delicate and the joints just the right WHY DOES IT ONLY HAVE FOUR LEGS AND WHY DO THEY JOIN LIKE A POLICE DOG ROBOT WHAT
I am always amazed at your artistry. You are truly gifted. I hope you are getting the help that you need for your mental health. It's not easy to put on the happy face when you are having rough thoughts. Trust me, as someone who tries to make everyone else laugh and have fun, it's exhausting. Take care.
You truly have such an incredible mind. It’s insane that you are able to create this without ever working with bamboo before. I’m always in awe every time you post!
@@Aroela Terrible company with a terrible track record. Terrible pay and treatment for real therapists. Let's people with no training or licensing act as therapists on their service. Numerous privacy violations. Yet another terrible gig economy app service that is just bad for everyone.
Him and other youtubers, especially Anthony should stop doing it, hell, youtube should do something about it at this point it's getting kind of annoying
crazy how bobby is so chaotic and then makes the most beautiful thing you've ever seen
That’s genius! No one does it like Bobby!
16:34
Agreed! he is like the representation of Yin and Yang! xD
@@Fuzefromr6 wangs. lol.
ya, genius often works that way. My BIL is a manic depressive and his life was chaos for years. Made amazing things during that time but I'm glad for everybody that things have calmed down.
I swear Bobby Duke is the Deadpool of the art world lol
hahahah yes!
Very Good 👍🏼
This is the most accurate description of Bobby I’ve ever seen. 😂
4:49 this kinda sounded like ryan reynolds LMAO
Omg THAT is who he’s been reminding me of all this time😅 perfect lol
"Trust me, I'm Bobby Duke Arts" is honestly fair at this point
As someone who has spent much of their live avoiding trying things out of a fear of failure, I really appreciate you showing "teh lernin". I'm getting better, but knowing that someone who makes such amazing stuff "fails" helps.
The fact that you tried a completely new medium for the first time and absolutely smashed the first project you use it for just shows what a buttload of talent you have. Breathtaking!
"You maybe wondering why am I running through the jungles of Puerto Rico pantless in the dark"
No Bobby, at this point, it's only natural for you
You're right, that was actually the thing I was wondering about THE LEAST xD
was so excited to see you are dropping a new vid-THANK YOU BOBBY❤
Some might say it's his natural habitat
... some sneaky creature could be hiding inside his pantyforms and might just bite his... oh look, a shiny thing over there!
Is he in Puerto Rico or Jamaica
Please never change the humor and joy to put into these videos. The art is absolutely fantastic and your goofiness is inspiring.
Extra thumbs up. All the thumbs.
Thank God you write this... Now he would never change and I was afraid that he did in the next video.
That german sentence was shockingly solid 😅👍🏻
Sehr gut gesprochen!
ja sehr gut so akzentfrei ist mein englisch sicherlich nicht
It was surprisingly a lot of words for "it's finished"
@@ariyooo what he said was basically: I'm done with making the butterfly
Ahaha ja wollte das selbe schreiben xD
I’ve been watching Bobby for a couple years now and I hope he knows how much of an impact he has on the art community! Not only does he inspire so many people but he breaks out of the mold to create new pieces of art that are creative, challenging, and unique in their own right! We love you Bobby, you’re hilarious and super talented!
This is why I don't mind waiting months for a new video! So beautiful❤
Holy hell, watching it come together at the end was so unbelievably satisfying. Bobby, your skill and precision is unmatched. An artist through and through. I thoroughly enjoy watching you make your many things.
Thank you for the giggles :D sending good vibes your way~
Looking at the final product after watching the whole thing being made was jaw-dropping. Seriously well fucking done, it's beautiful.

"Butterfly on a Forget Me Not" was one of the first poems I ever wrote. It was a poem about what happened after my auntie passed when we were saying goodbye.

@@jonathanvega1067 It's okay if you were offended by it, but it was still a joke
Another STUNNING creation ! Wow 🤯 you pnocked it outta da kark 💪🤘
I’m glad you put the mistakes in. Makes me feel better about my stuff. You show it’s not a perfect process and to keep trying. Thank you.❤
Bobby, (I hope it's not presumptuous of me to call you Bobby), I am literally in awe of your talent and skill. Also, I am so proud of you for getting the help you need. We need you in this world, so please keep going.
1:07 That is Jamaica. Puerto Rico is the country on the far right that's cut off.
Puerto Rico is not a country, it is a territory of the United States.
@@OfficialSylvantianAUTTP Puerto Rico it is a country, yes we are a territory, but we are consider a country aswell. We are not define for what the US has imposed into us.
@@TheDarkOne1920 by that logic, Transnistria is also a country.
@@OfficialSylvantianAUTTP Use the logic that you want. I'm telling you as a person born and raised in Puerto Rico, we are a country, yes we are a territory, but we still have our on form of government, we have governor, that we vote for, we can't vote for the US president, laws from the US don't apply here, because we make our own laws, we have our own flag, our own athom. We are just stuck being territory of the US, because Spain made an illegal trade with the US, pretty much gifting the island illegally. Just because we are a territory, doesn't mean we aren't our own country. Learn our history before talking about stuff you clearly have no knowledge of.
@@TheDarkOne1920 Spain lost the war, so they lost Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. You’d still be Spanish if they won the war. Your “nation” was colonized in 1493, and the USA has controlled it since 1898. Your “nation” has been colonized for 531 years and 93 days. You are not a country.
I respect getting that bread when you accept sponsors. But you should not support BetterHelp, nor advertise it.
Advertising their service directly affects actual, real people with significant problems and are looking for help, and you are sending them to a company that has consistently shown their disregard for the theraputic process.
Normally, even with awful companies, I still just don't care. But BetterHelp deals with lives, and in a very poor way. By advertising for them, you're assisting in that borderline abuse.
As long as they don't *defend* BetterHelp I don't typically mind since I'm sure they pay stupidly well. Aging Wheels did that and chat harassed him enough to get him to return the money though
They have gotten way better since the original info has been let out.
I think he does use it so maybe In his case not only is he being paid, but it has worked...
Bobby is a real person with significant problems, he was looking for help and got it from them. Perhaps BetterHelp is doing better, so as long as it's working for him and he believes in it then there's no problem with him advertising the company. Sometimes what works for one person, doesn't work for others.
I'm actually glad I look into these comments on better help, I'm struggling right now and now I know not to use them, thanks
To be a little deep here. It's perfect that you chose to do a butterfly coming out of the chrysalis. It shows your continuous growth with art and your health. You are truly an amazing human, Bobby.
This is the first time in a long time I’ve uttered an audible “wow”, but I did with this. It’s beautiful.
I've been really depressed the last few weeks and this video made me laugh and it was so relatable and inspiring. Thanks a million Bobby
Lets go new vid love you bob keep up the work
Bob.?
i like your hair it is quite scrumdidiliotious
Love when knew Babbbbbbby duke arse videos come out!
Me 2!!!!!
🥳
Dude! Out of all your projects, I think this one amazed me the most! You literally had to bend the material to your will! And it turned out so beautifully.
Maaaate, I've randomly come across your video's and of course I've subscribed!
You're ridiculously talented, amazing at what you do. The best part? The way you take us on the journey of your work is hilarious and brilliantly out together!!
Epic stuff buddy!!
I'd love to see you on TV. Children would LOVE you!!
2:39 why does the news article say the date is 14 Nov 2025 🤨🤨
Because it's a joke and a fake article about Bobby getting caught for smuggling bamboo?
I don't think THIRUVANANTHAPURAM is a real news site lol.
Because Bobby is actually a time traveler.
@@jwalster9412 It's the name of the capital city of Kerala state in India.
@@puifaiheng1411 oh. Uhm that's a longas name lol.
6:48 me when my pizza rolls are done
When the brilliant mind of BOBBY DUKE shows up on your recommendations you watch and then show your child (who is 11 and has been watching him for a long time) to get inspired to do her art.. (Yes she is an actual artist at the age of 11)
This is probably the best sculpture I've seen all this year. The details on the butterfly wings is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!
Dude, you was in Puerto Rico in recent times. Which is hard to kind of find coquis lately. You literally had the chance to listen their magical singing.
Is a blessing experience.
Looks great, but don't butterflies have 6 legs?
It's an bambooterfly
DONT MAKE HIS LIFE HARDER
late, but the monarch (the species the butterfly in this piece seems to be based on) along with most of the larger butterflies, is part of the "brush footed" family (known scientifically as Nymphalidae.) A defining trait of this family is that their front pair of legs are reduced and not useful for walking, and instead stay folded against their body.
11:40 better help sells your data
Bobby, enough people have spoken up about BetterHelp being bad news on your videos that I'm beginning to wonder if you're expressly ignoring it and making money is more important to you. I really hope I'm wrong. Please educate yourself and revoke your partnership with them.
Or he actually used it and got help from it.
I love knowing that over the years your content and humor is just as goofy as the beginning. It hasn't changed in the best way possible and I love that you have fun with your art. I try to remember that I make things because I enjoy it, not for other people because of you. Much love
Stunning work as always, Bobby and entertaining as all heck! Please sir, bring back the (F)art merch. I need it in my life.
Dang, didnt know bobby was a time traveler
How’s 2025 lookin?
Wdym?
@@mautida9998in the fake news article at 2:39 it’s dated 14 November 2025 🤣
Lookin' like a bad year for bamboo smuggling.
Me: damn bobby I think you've really outdone yourself, this is beautiful, wow those legs are so delicate and the joints just the right WHY DOES IT ONLY HAVE FOUR LEGS AND WHY DO THEY JOIN LIKE A POLICE DOG ROBOT WHAT
Ah yes!
The Duke Miser procures another educated viewing experience by way of Videography and by Silly willy Sha-nay-nay Gains! Most QUAINT!!
I am always amazed at your artistry. You are truly gifted. I hope you are getting the help that you need for your mental health. It's not easy to put on the happy face when you are having rough thoughts. Trust me, as someone who tries to make everyone else laugh and have fun, it's exhausting. Take care.
You truly have such an incredible mind. It’s insane that you are able to create this without ever working with bamboo before. I’m always in awe every time you post!
Still begging you to STOP TAKING SPONSORSHIPS FROM BETTER HELP
Can i ask why? 😮
@@Aroela Terrible company with a terrible track record. Terrible pay and treatment for real therapists. Let's people with no training or licensing act as therapists on their service. Numerous privacy violations. Yet another terrible gig economy app service that is just bad for everyone.
Him and other youtubers, especially Anthony should stop doing it, hell, youtube should do something about it at this point it's getting kind of annoying
@@chrowx okay oO thx for explaining, never thought that
Just let the man make money
