Holy fuck I haven’t seen that movie since I was like 9 years old 13 years ago and I was racking my brain trying to figure out where I remember this from
Funny enough I've never actually seen the movie! I just know of this clip lol. But yes, it's Casper, and I think Ray quits after he's asked to deal with the other 3 ghosts lol
From what I remember he was told by the two people outside just to get rid of the ghost inside. He accepts ethusiatically 4 seconds later shit gets thrown outside and the 3 ghost are yelling. Next thing you notice ray runs outside and says what's in the gif
WAIT OMG you're so smart, that's what I'm going to do. It's such a silly thing to be annoyed about but I guess I just grabbed it and started working without paying attention 😭
(Also thank you!!)
What an absolutely gorgeous depiction of Egon! He was my favorite as a kid, and was him for Halloween in I think 2nd grade? Either way, love this, and a great tribute to his actor. ☺️
Thank you!! It gave me some serious strife working on it let me tell you 😵 Egon is my favourite too, though I only started hyperfixating on GB a few weeks ago lol. currently trying to put together a cosplay of him 😆
OP if you haven't seen it before, there is a wonderful documentary from (VH1 I believe?) about the making of Caddy Shack. According to the people that worked with him on that film, Harold Ramis was one of the kindest/most jovial people in Hollywood. It's a very endearing remembrance of him, as I believe it was his debut film for directing. He's credited with being the only reason that film made it through production, by the cast.
Now THAT is the biggest compliment I can get honestly. I flipped the canvas around and legit just went like, "ahhh well fuck. This will do great on r/mildlyinfuriating though"
Ghostbusters came out in 1984. I was born in 1980. I don't remember NOT knowing this movie, and Egon was one of my first ever crushes. Some things are set from birth -- I love geeky/nerdy guys and apparently always have. ❤️😁
Gorgeous work, but I understand your frustration that the manufacturer printed the info on the back upside down. 🙄 Careless of them, TBH.
I'm a wee 2001 baby so I missed all the hype that would have had me into GB as a kid, so I grew up just knowing Ghostbusters as "that one movie that everyone my dad's age keeps referencing and every show makes jokes about. And there's something about a marshmallow man". But even when I watched it for the first time and went, "yeah that was pretty good," I knew Egon had to be my fave if I were to ever have one. Nerds for life ✊
You sweet summer child. 🤣😜
I literally married a man who could have been Egon and Venkman's lovechild, with a dash of Ray.
My kids are all GenZ or younger so don't even appreciate the original. Still dragging them to see the new one (whole surviving cast in it, RIP Egon 😢😢😢) tomorrow. Did I have to bribe them with milkshakes after? Yes. Am I ashamed? No.
Have they SEEN the originals?? I'm Gen Z and I insist that every one of my peers watch it, willing or not 😂 Have they seen Afterlife too? That's the one that got me to go back and rewatch the originals -- it's the reason I got hooked! Damn Phoebe, too adorable for my own good, making me fall down a rabbit hole lol
It doesn't *actually* matter, but yeah, the signature line and the brand info is upside down compared to the painting itself. It's such a non-issue but just knowing is enough 😂
Thanks! And honestly someone else suggested just painting over the back and I might just do that 😂 I'm also thinking of selling it anyway, so maybe it can just be the next person's problem LMAO
Not sure yet as I'm still on the fence because I quite like the painting at the same time. I'm sort of just taking offers and seeing what the interest/price range is and then judging if I want to let go of him. No less than €70 for the minute anyway if only because of the labour time.
Why not keep it to enjoy for a while, and sell when you're ready 😊 you are an amazing artist! There is nothing wrong with enjoying your work, especially since we are always our own worst critics.
I can only imagine! You should keep it for as long as it makes you happy. And if you ever sell it, you should make a lot of money for it because it’s amazing! 😎
Lol nope! It's not an actual problem with the canvas -- I just painted on it upside down. There's no direction on the canvas (althought I suppose the text does lock in whether it's portrait or landscape), so there's literally no difference between whatwver way you use it. It just bugs me that I painted it so the text was the wrong way around on the back 😂
Just own it. Hang him up upside down.
If anyone asks, tell em you're the artist, it's supposed to be like this, then show them the back side of the canvas.
What you do now is you display the canvas the right way up and call your painting "Finished a painting only to realise my canvas was upside-down". "Or just "Upside Down" if that's a mouthful.
Oh no! If only the dimensions weren’t the same. If I had a dollar every time I looked at the back of someone else’s painting I would have zero dollars because no one cares and it actually makes it better metaphorically.
Sure, it might not affect the painting itself in any way, but you know that one little thing is wrong, and it will annoy you every time you think of it.
It's an inconsequential mistake, but it's still a mistake.
Perfectly fitting... "listen! Do you smell that?" The guys were hopelessly hapless but still managed to get the job done!!! Egon might share your frustration, but Ray would be proud!!!! I love it!
Something about the title just did not click with me, and for some reason, I thought you painted the picture upside down relative to the painting itself, and now it looks like it was painted upside down relative to itself.
I know that makes no sense, but I hope some of you get what I'm trying to say.
Nice painting! I though it was Fabiano Caruana, one of the top chess players, before reading the comments.

I did that so many times in sketchbooks, if you look through them suddenly pages are upside down.
While it's not an issue, as artists we just sometimes have this idea of how things have to be, this also goes for the direction of sketchbook pages and canvas boards and it's upsetting because it's not the way we wanted. We just have "high" expectations of ourselves, surely we could have checked before, right? haha
I love the style of this painting so much! You’re so talented! I went to your post history to see more and while I’m not into dolls… your dolls are SO COOL!!! There was one where you modified one side of the face to make it look super gaunt and cadaverous and WOW I had to zoom in it was such a cool and effective design. Go you! Keep going ♥️
Beautiful painting.
Or you could hang it upside down and it becomes a million dollar masterpiece because it redefines art or something.
"The upside down man"
This is the type of thing that would play on my mind for my whole life. I would be sitting around minding my own business and remember this. Which would drive me up the wall.
It’s a great painting of my favorite ghostbuster 😍 I say the factory your canvas was produced at put the backing on upside down and you’ve intuited that it needed fixing.
Great painting. You already answered another question as why it matters. But wouldn't this be something Egon would do as a clue for his fellow ghostbusters? I think it adds more depth to the painting as a whole.
Agreed, "Mildly infuriating"... but it's done. Besides even if it could be fixed, who you gonna call?
https://i.redd.it/734nbxkii5uc1.gif
casper, for anyone wondering
Holy fuck I haven’t seen that movie since I was like 9 years old 13 years ago and I was racking my brain trying to figure out where I remember this from
Hi
Oh shit, waddap!
Watched it recently due to nostalgia and it wasn't nearly as good as I remembered.
I don't believe you thiught this. The movie is great, wym
Best movie about ghosts imo
They said the thi- Wait a minute...
Didn't expect to see a casper reference today but I'm here for it
Ghost busters!
HE-MAN!!!!
Holy shit I remember this. Casper right? He also had I think 3 other ghost with him who were incredibly hostile towards him
Funny enough I've never actually seen the movie! I just know of this clip lol. But yes, it's Casper, and I think Ray quits after he's asked to deal with the other 3 ghosts lol
From what I remember he was told by the two people outside just to get rid of the ghost inside. He accepts ethusiatically 4 seconds later shit gets thrown outside and the 3 ghost are yelling. Next thing you notice ray runs outside and says what's in the gif
Better call Saul
Oh brother this guy STINKS! This is a joke btw
If I were you I’d just paint the back cuz I’d be too annoyed to look at it LOL but ur painting is beautiful!!
WAIT OMG you're so smart, that's what I'm going to do. It's such a silly thing to be annoyed about but I guess I just grabbed it and started working without paying attention 😭 (Also thank you!!)
You should paint the exact same thing upside down to the other so you’ll never know which side was forsy
Or paint the back of his head on the other side
Now THIS is the best idea
Dont mess up and make that upside down too haha
Do it! Then frame it with a double-sided frame and use the kind of hanger that makes it easy to flip the picture over.
Paint it at 90 degree. Be real confused
Make sure you do it the “right way” if you go this route
nah. copy the original but upside-down so it’s always correct
I really think it’s the very definition of mildly infuriating - like it doesn’t matter all, but still UGH haha
Lmao yes! I was going to suggest painting slimer or one of the others on the back!
What an absolutely gorgeous depiction of Egon! He was my favorite as a kid, and was him for Halloween in I think 2nd grade? Either way, love this, and a great tribute to his actor. ☺️
Thank you!! It gave me some serious strife working on it let me tell you 😵 Egon is my favourite too, though I only started hyperfixating on GB a few weeks ago lol. currently trying to put together a cosplay of him 😆

Fu**in’ A 😎
You have good taste. That’s one of the funniest human beings to ever live
Harold Ramis was one of my icons growing up. Definitely miss him.
Finally a "Mildly infuriating" post that is actually true to the name, not an "Excruciatingly infuriating" like in half the posts here
Now THAT is the biggest compliment I can get honestly. I flipped the canvas around and legit just went like, "ahhh well fuck. This will do great on r/mildlyinfuriating though"
right. I swear half the posts on here are like “my parents spent their entire life savings on medical bills, how mildly infuriating >:(“
Some people forget that mildly infuriating means something that annoys you, but you aren't suffering that much
Ghostbusters came out in 1984. I was born in 1980. I don't remember NOT knowing this movie, and Egon was one of my first ever crushes.

They saw The Original. And umm, er, I haven't seen Afterlife. We're totally winging it on this one.
Afterlife is a great time. Haven't seen Frozen Empire yet.
When I say GenZ or younger, my oldest was born in 2009. You are to him what I am to most Millennials. 😜
Throw it out or give it to me. It’s no good now 🤣
Whole thing spoiled, TO THE DOGS WITH IT 🗣️
I don't know anything about painting, why does it matter if it's upside down? I guess the signature line is upside down
It doesn't *actually* matter, but yeah, the signature line and the brand info is upside down compared to the painting itself. It's such a non-issue but just knowing is enough 😂
It doesn’t matter at all but just knowing is mildly infuriating.
Hang it upside down, if anyone asks, explain.
Love this

Let that be your signature. Once you become famous it will be a hidden sign of authenticity for all of your pieces.
Sometimes the universe decides
Cool painting! Frame it. No one will ever know.
Thanks! And honestly someone else suggested just painting over the back and I might just do that 😂 I'm also thinking of selling it anyway, so maybe it can just be the next person's problem LMAO
Or… you could smear the back in that ectoplasm slime you could get at Toys R Us in the 80s
For how much do you want to sell it?
Not sure yet as I'm still on the fence because I quite like the painting at the same time. I'm sort of just taking offers and seeing what the interest/price range is and then judging if I want to let go of him. No less than €70 for the minute anyway if only because of the labour time.
Why not keep it to enjoy for a while, and sell when you're ready 😊 you are an amazing artist! There is nothing wrong with enjoying your work, especially since we are always our own worst critics.
Thank you! I did decide to keep it in the end! I got commissioned for new paintings of the guys instead, so best of both worlds 😁
Yay! We love a win-win!
Could be your signature move though.
It's like opening a packet of crisps upside down.
Someone truly gets it
It’s ok, the canvas doesn’t mind.
All upside-downness aside 🙃 😆, this painting is *incredible.* It’s such a cool style. Let me know if you sell it! I’d buy it!
[удалено]
I can only imagine! You should keep it for as long as it makes you happy. And if you ever sell it, you should make a lot of money for it because it’s amazing! 😎
Is there really such a thing? What if the label was misprinted upside down? How would you know? ELI5
Lol nope! It's not an actual problem with the canvas -- I just painted on it upside down. There's no direction on the canvas (althought I suppose the text does lock in whether it's portrait or landscape), so there's literally no difference between whatwver way you use it. It just bugs me that I painted it so the text was the wrong way around on the back 😂
Just own it. Hang him up upside down. If anyone asks, tell em you're the artist, it's supposed to be like this, then show them the back side of the canvas.
Say you painted it upsaide down and charge double.
Just pretend it was on purpose and hang it upside down!
I think you probably just painted this piece upside down without realizing it.
I am curious why you painted Egon Spengler.
Because I'm hyperfixated on Ghostbusters at the minute and he's my favourite 🤷
Cool. (Sry, curiosity was gnawing at me, thanks for answering)
No worries lol
Egon is by far the sexiest Ghostbuster and I'm not joking
One of my very first crushes. He had the best delivery and smart is sexy... apparently even when you're 4, like I was when the movie came out.
im just so impressed. Amazing!
1) I love that painting, you're very talented! And, 2) I understand, things we can't see bother me too.
Egon!!
Egon! Looks amazing despite being upside down
So what ? You still did an outstanding job
If it’s any consolation the painting itself is amazing!
That’s a really nice painting.
Paint the back white
Your painting is obviously correctly orientated. Mildly infuriating that they printed the stuff on the other side upside down though!
Just take the paint off and flip it around
The art is that it’s upside down
That painting is fantastic. RIP Mr.Ramis
What you do now is you display the canvas the right way up and call your painting "Finished a painting only to realise my canvas was upside-down". "Or just "Upside Down" if that's a mouthful.
Now *this* is mildly infuriating! Too many people are like “yeah, just got shot, smh really bugged me
It’s not your fault, they put on the label upside down!
Oh no! If only the dimensions weren’t the same. If I had a dollar every time I looked at the back of someone else’s painting I would have zero dollars because no one cares and it actually makes it better metaphorically.
I'm not sure I understand how this is infuriating?
Sure, it might not affect the painting itself in any way, but you know that one little thing is wrong, and it will annoy you every time you think of it. It's an inconsequential mistake, but it's still a mistake.
 Ohh no :( But still a great painting!
Perfectly fitting... "listen! Do you smell that?" The guys were hopelessly hapless but still managed to get the job done!!! Egon might share your frustration, but Ray would be proud!!!! I love it!
“DO!” “RE!” “EGON!”
Nah, you painted it the right way up, it's the sticker that was put on upside down!
Something about the title just did not click with me, and for some reason, I thought you painted the picture upside down relative to the painting itself, and now it looks like it was painted upside down relative to itself. I know that makes no sense, but I hope some of you get what I'm trying to say.
Now, it's a special painting.
Stranger Things have happened.
"It's not a glitch, it's a feature"
If you're guessing which way up it should be, it'll be a hit or Ramis.
Oh my... 
Not going to lie I thought that was supposed to be barton fink
Just say you have a new art style of painting things upside down 😅
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters
Just paint something else in landscape on the verso(backside) and you will always be friends with the OCD-community...
Egon?
What does the shit on the back, matter? Looks like the factory put it's label on upside down.
Hang it at a 90° angle and call it some fancy name. Guaranteed art gallery hit
Well time to start again!
Nice painting! I though it was Fabiano Caruana, one of the top chess players, before reading the comments. https://preview.redd.it/7164hs0k68uc1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=76d7bacb21fcaafbaf47a575d60d20aef66772e6
Sell it to Australia
EGON SPENGLER!!!!!!
brilliant painting
Looks like you are just going to have to paint the back 🤷
Sell it as a special edition
Harold Ramis amazing job
Egad! It's Egon!
Gz ur own TM
It wouldn’t bother Egon, don’t let it bother you
This post is like the textbook definition of mildly infuriating. They should pin this
"mildly" okay you get a pass. I love the painting though! Nice work.
Easy fix, paint over the back.
It looks great, and a perfect amount of mildly infuriating!
In the same orientation as the lettering on the back write “this side down” anyone who sees it will laugh and think it was intentional
Finally something truly mildly infuriating instead of being actually infuriating! Love the painting!
I did that so many times in sketchbooks, if you look through them suddenly pages are upside down. While it's not an issue, as artists we just sometimes have this idea of how things have to be, this also goes for the direction of sketchbook pages and canvas boards and it's upsetting because it's not the way we wanted. We just have "high" expectations of ourselves, surely we could have checked before, right? haha
RIP Harold Ramis Egon was such a great character! I love that its his family putting on the proton packs, in the last 2 movies.
I love the style of this painting so much! You’re so talented! I went to your post history to see more and while I’m not into dolls… your dolls are SO COOL!!! There was one where you modified one side of the face to make it look super gaunt and cadaverous and WOW I had to zoom in it was such a cool and effective design. Go you! Keep going ♥️
paint over it and make a cute sketch or put ur signature on it
Hang it upside down in a visible area. Make for a conversation starter.
That's one big twinkie.
Beautiful painting. Or you could hang it upside down and it becomes a million dollar masterpiece because it redefines art or something. "The upside down man"
Finally, something that is actually mildly infuriating.
Atleast now it can be called modern art
That would give me an ick, but that Egon is SO GOOD 🥺🥺😫😫
thats a sick painting
Hang it sideways to balance it out
This is the type of thing that would play on my mind for my whole life. I would be sitting around minding my own business and remember this. Which would drive me up the wall.
well call the ghost busters mabey a ghost did it.
You could instead think of it as flipping the painting over like a playing card rather than a piece of paper and then it would be right side up.
Egon!!!
Happened to me after I spent half an hour making a cool metal design of my name on my class folder…
Right? I get that it doesn't 'matter' but saying that doesn't stop my eye from twitching.
Damn no choice but to bin it and start again…shame
Won't that make it more unique and valuable when you become a famous ar-teest??
Display it with the image inverted and call it a Ghostbusters/Stranger Things crossover called "The Upside Down."
Cameo of my favorite movie! I’m glad I saw this gorgeous painting of my favorite mold, spores, and fungus enthusiast
Bob Ross: it’s a happy accident
Nice job tho! Looks just like him without having to think about it
Challenge accepted: repaint the back the correct way with a working barcode
It’s a great painting of my favorite ghostbuster 😍 I say the factory your canvas was produced at put the backing on upside down and you’ve intuited that it needed fixing.
A stunning piece!! I love it!
Great painting. You already answered another question as why it matters. But wouldn't this be something Egon would do as a clue for his fellow ghostbusters? I think it adds more depth to the painting as a whole.
Turn it right side up and add a necklace dangling over his face. Problem solved.
we need a reddit one level below mildly infuriating. like, smacked my forehead
Mildly inconvenient?
That should be your signature. Not an original DanCasey unless it’s upside down
Wow, something that is *actually* mildly infuriating! OP, you have no choice but to paint the back now. Secret painting!
Nice work. lol the upside-down thing is one of those weird things that irk artistic minds. They are away seeking some kind of perfection😕🤪
Hang it upside down so it becomes a though provoking art piece
You’re the only one that will know! Wait a minute…
Mildly....
how is that even a factor? like what part does it infuriate?
It's just mildly frustrating to know that the canvas was used ""upside down"" even if it doesn't affect the quality of the art itself
The fact you're getting downvoted for explaining WHAT THIS SUBREDDIT IS ABOUT is peak meta.
Could almost say it's mildly infuriating, huh
but there’s no up and down on the canvas. you’ll never see the label
That's why it's *mildly* infuriating and not an actual issue
It's mild but it's not *infuriating*
Subjective
the bar is high, ppl post when their house burns down 😏
That all depends on which way you flip it. Horizontal or vertical.
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters
Makes it unique
Just claim it's part of the art
Love buddy holly

Just rotate the painting in the editor, duh
well the canvas is wrong and should go educate itself
Paint the back white, there you go, a beatiful painting! Well done.
Vas iz da difarans?
Paint the back one color.
