With the introduction of art in Animal Crossing: New Horizons version 1.2.0, we've seen the return of Redd and his questionable selection of items to purchase. We've already catalogued all of the fake and real paintings and statues available in the game, and in that guide, we noticed that some pieces appeared to have more than one fake.
It now seems that the reason for this is that many of the fake artworks magically change depending on when you look at them. Spooky! The change appears to happen in the morning and then it switches back to its previous state in the evening.
YouTuber AbdallahSmash026 shows how the art changes in the video below:
Have you encountered any spooky transforming paintings? Have you noticed that a painting you've bought from Redd changes its design depending on when you look at it? Share you thoughts on this cool feature by posting a comment below.

That's...actually kinda neat! Makes the fakes more interesting.
I really like Abdallah's videos. I did not watch them all but his Zelda playthroughs and his Animal Crossing are really nice!
I never thought that I would like watching a family-friendly streamer so much.
Also very nice touch with the haunted stuff. Love creepy things
Now I want to own the fakes... well done Redd, well done.
Might wanna warn for the stupid screamer in the first 20 seconds. Might just be me, but I didn't like it.
ah that's so cool! kinda creepy, I love how they are dealing with the fakes
next step is put a Sasquatch in the game to people try run after.
I've only been on Redd's ship once so far, used the NL guide as I will continue to. At this rate I'll be trying to get art for years to come.
I do like the changing art though.
Redds ship has disappeared from my island altogether..does he only appear once a week?
Lol. That was really cool. So many really cool, little details and touches in this game
A bit off topic, but I love the NES sweatshirt he's wearing
Uber cool! Makes me feel like I am buying paintings that are akin to those in Harry Potter series; although you are not a Witcher Nintendo...#throwncoin!
@Wazeddie22
To my understanding, yes, like all special animal vendors that show up on your island; established days and hours. Ah, read this off site:
open the map on your NookPhone and see if the Jolly Trawler is docked there. Seems to read to be a day at random over 2 weeks from source.
@Kaas I turned my volume up loud to hear the background music. Thanks @Damo
At least its not the infamous portrait of Dorian Gray
Oh great, now people are going to start Ghostbusting services
"Haunted" Paintings And Art. i love it. now we have even more of a reason to visit Redd for if (and hopefully when) he comes to visit.
so far i have one seen him once. well, twice if you count the day he introduces himself.
Looks like I'll be collecting the fake paintings when I get the game instead!
Dumb screamer at the start and 10 minutes of padding
This is fun. Too bad we can only buy 1 painting from Redd per visit, now I am torn between getting real painting for the museum or fake for the island. I still have a basement to build in my house.
I heard rumours about this, and it seems like a cool idea! Redd sells fakes, so why not cursed/haunted fakes?
...I won't be watching the video though, can't deal with AbdallahSmash026 in the slightest 😂
Abdallah is hot and makes wholesome content.
....Wait, what? o.o
Kinda sucks we can only buy one at a time now...
Spoilers, huh.
@muscpt @Wazeddie22 I think it’s purely random. He visited me three times so far and it’s been... 8 days since the update?
@ShadJV
Good to know, will keep checking phone map when I log in.
@muscpt @ShadJV Ah ok,thanks for replying..I thought cuz I didant buy anything off his boat the first time that he wasn't going to bother with me!
Redd and King Boo... The Ultimate Villain Team up!
@Wazeddie22
I did hear on a podcast that the method is to first try to board his boat without him there, says a programed comment, and then go talk to him to open up a new dialogue string.
I need that painting... but first I need the game
Coming soon through Amazon though!
@Wazeddie22 @muscpt yeah it’d be great if it was set days, but I’ve seen no pattern. He just comes whenever. I do have three arts now though. Art collecting is gonna be slow!
I'd love to see some ghost portraits. If only Redd actually came to my town more than the one time he came. I'm sick and tired of Gulliver and his repetitive little "mini-game"
@pinta_vodki if you didn’t click on the article it wouldn’t have spoiled anything 😉
@Zuljaras Yeah I mostly watch him for his Mario Kart 8/8 Deluxe videos and tips. He's really good! His AC vids are mostly amusing which is great.
@ATaco All the guests only come once a week. You've seen gulliver a lot more because he has been around since launch. We've only had Redd for one week so far and everyone has gotten to have him twice (once wandering, and the other on his boat) so far. Eventually, you will be sick of him. Only one that seems to show up more than once a week is Wisp.
A good reason to have more than one character.
Sure, let’s spoil fun spontaneous events in a headline for a game that is all about experiencing said events.
