Well, an article about Shadman. To be honest, I haven't written it simply because I don't even know where to start. No, the problem is not in me or in Shadman. The problem is what kind of reaction might follow. Those who closely follow his life will examine every letter, checking whether I have written everything, whether I have forgotten anything. Other people, having read the article, will consider that Shad is some kind of ultimate marginal fanatic. There will be no people in the middle. Shadman has long since crossed the line where he is simply an artist. He is a "celebrity", and famous in equal measure for his drawing style and the scandals that surround almost every one of his works. Anyone who looks at Shadman's works no longer thinks, "wow, a beautiful drawing", everyone begins to analyze in one way or another, "why did he choose such a theme? Why does he draw this particular thing? What is going on in his head?" Shadman left his mark on the NSFW world forever. A mark the size of a metropolis. But if I were looking for an analogue of such a metropolis, I would say it is Detroit.🤯 Naturally, no one will tell you reliably about Shad's (presumably Shaddai Prejean) youth. Almost all the information is often Shad's own words, or leaks, like the same photos in the post. But you'll have to work with what you have. Shaddai was supposedly born in Switzerland and entered a design school. For some unknown reason, he decided to bring his work to school, where the shocked teachers happily kicked him out for such a joke (I've seen this somewhere before) . After that, the young rebel goes through the army, freelances a bit, and finally registers on Newgrounds in 2009. Because of his activities, in 2011 he had to move first to Canada, then to Los Angeles. They say that this move was not entirely legal, which casts doubt on his "Swiss" origin. Moreover, Shaddai is half Indian, and the name is appropriate. Already at that time, Shadman draws all sorts of bad things, and on May 14, 2011 (Mother's Day) he posts you know what kind of art WITH HIS MOTHER .😐 Already at this point doubts about Shaddai's adequacy begin to appear in my head. Because if in the situation with the school he perhaps wanted to impress the teachers with his abilities, then the second time looks like some kind of horror. And this is only the beginning. During this period, Shaddai began participating in the SleepyCabin podcasts, where he increasingly appeared as a vulgar provocateur, ready to fight with everyone. But was this an image? During this period, Shadman made excuses for his drawings of not-so-mature characters. He said that he was drawing them to provoke and that the drawings had nothing to do with real life. In 2016 he began to depict various celebrities and their children as minors, justifying it with trolling. For which, he was almost sued, and the shitstorm on the Internet rose to the maximum fury. By that time, SleepyCabin periodically still tried to defend Shadman. And in 2019, Shaddai announced that he was stopping drawing pornography of this kind. In 2020, he began to post any work at all less and less often. In 2021, he finally falls out with everyone who defended him, for example, Spazkid. The shadman's apartment is increasingly turning into a trash container, there are more and more rumors that the artist is addicted to illegal substances. The culmination was the arrest of the "artist" by the LA police for assault with a lethal weapon. After some time, he was released, presumably on bail, and on Nov 18, he returned to Twitter saying that he was doing well. After which he stopped communicating. In the summer of 2023, Shadman suddenly returns and begins to post new works. However, these works are extremely "safe", especially in comparison with what he drew before. Moreover, almost all of the works are dedicated to Belle Delphine (simp.😀 ). How Shaddai's life will go further is an
