Redd has only come to my island once, and once I got the first painting from him I time traveled to get the museum upgraded and he hasn't appeared since. Could that have anything to do with it?
 
He appears once every blue moon. I dunno why his visits are so rare... I'm more thankful to my villagers because I was able to donate more art from them than what I bought from Redd.
 
After his very first visit, I've had him come to my island twice. Yesterday was the second time I got to go on his poorly constructed boat.

Villagers are able to give you art? :0

But yeah Redd never shows up for me too): He's only appeared once after his first visit for me... and he showed up another time while I was TT when adding in villagers through amiibo but I foolishly decided to no go and get some art 😔

Yes, villagers can give you art, but there's a chance of it being fake as well.

Redd also appeared to me ONLY while I was TT'ing back when I was still doing the campsite method. Now, he's nowhere to be seen.

I really hope they patch it in and increase the chances of him appearing.
 
I've only gotten Redd twice, once to donate the first painting to Blathers and the other was random. It's so weird how rarely he appears now compared to New Leaf. I hope there's an update that makes him appear more often!
 
Unfortunately there are more island visitor NPCs than there are days in the week, so visitor RNG can make it so that it will be weeks before you get a particular visitor again. I'm over 2 weeks since seeing CJ, and have had Leif 3 times in the last 13 days.
 
There have been a few threads about this already.
There are more random merchants than there are days in the week so some weeks you may not have someone. I believe there are 8 merchants and theres only 6 days (kk takes over saturdays) a week for them to appear.
 
Really annoying he shows up so little especially since he’s the only way to get art for the museum.

Should at least show up once a week.
 
You just got to have some patience. He is cycling through with all the other NPC's that come to the island, so it might take a while before he shows up again. I have only had him once as well, but i'm not worried. He will come back eventually.
 
Will Isabelle say anything in her announcements if Redd is visiting or do you just have to check everyday?

While farming for Celeste and meteor showers, I time traveled about 80 days in a row. I got Celeste 5 times, meteor showers 3 times, and Redd twice. His spawn rate is too low compared to other NPCs, all of whom I saw at least 4 times each, Saharah seemingly being the most common.

Yea I noticed leif is VERY common as well it's weird how uncommon redd can be. But honestly if your TT you can go back/forth when you do find him to get art and what not

Yeah, which I have done to get about 15 pieces or so (don't want to complete it too fast), but this game isn't designed around exploiting that. For that reason I feel Celeste, Redd, and Meteor Showers are terribly implemented as it. Nintendo is essentially saying you have to trade with people or wait literal YEARS to complete your collection.
 
I've only seen him twice after his initial visit, he seems to be pretty rare based on what everyone else said
