No one can. And what fun would there bee in that? Like Syd said, "If that's what you consider to be good art, then the artist is no more than a time-wasting camera." If you want a perfect picture of the fruit take a photo! You're just totally missing the point...

Oh crap...I was supposed to ignore you.

Well, I think it would be interesting to give a shout out to artists who aren't painters. Well, I gotta give a shout out to steve purcell, the creator of Sam and Max:Freelance police. Holy jumpin' mother of god in a side car with chocolate jimmies and a lobster bib, this guy is talented. Kepp your eyes out for the new Sam and Max game for the XBOX. Other gifted individuals I can think of off the top of my head: John K, "Swampy" Marsh, Dav Pilkey, Van Halen(Music is art and eruption kicks ass!) The entire bands of Primus, Tool, RATM, Megadeth, and Faith No More.. Boycott Taco Bell and always stay fresh! I myself don't like abstarct or shock art, I think it sucks donkey but if you love it I don't mind, whatever floats your boat! Though that picture with the naked girl was some sick twisted shit!

I see your point this is correct too I just view it a different way you all bring up good points thoughm I could discuss more but I found it would end up a stalemate, but rest assure I plan on being the first to make this perfect picture.....dont think Im not ready to fully back myself up because I am but usually these discussions outbreak into an argument and I rather have peace for now.

Well, progress. Just admitting that someone else might actually be right about something will go a long way to gaining acceptance here.

I myself am an artist. I do oil paintings and concept drawings all the time. This summer I am going to sell my work and start an online portfolio of my work. I am also taking coarses in school to get an art dagree. I am pretty good at art, you should see my work it is very good. But unfortainitly I can't post it yet. But I will.

This past semester I did like a 20 min drawing of a vacume brush and we had to use charcol. Well my drawing turned out photo realistic. and I got an A. Right now I am working with drawing with movement in them. Like if you were to take a pencil or a rular and wave it around like a fan then draw that movement. Thats pretty hard to understand at first but once you see how to do it, it's pretty easy. You get that trans parent look to everything when things are moveing. It's pretty cool.

I can say that my inspiration for my work is HR Gigar. I love that nightmarish gothic look to his work.

When I was in Junior Highschool I took a graphics class and all of my work was Oddworld related. I did a mirror etching of the Oddworld inhabitants simbol, I also did a air brushing of Abes head comeing out of an old green shirt I have. Underneath his head it says "hello!" I also did a cartoon of Abe standing in the back ground of Necrum Mines. And I have another shirt with a Mudokin Skeleton imprinted on it.

I'm mostly into realism and I can't understand some isms at all. But I'm becoming more open minded the whole time...

I like the Finnish painter Helene Schjerfbeck a lot. Here are two of her works, but I couldn't find my favourite ones...


"The Little Convalescent"


"Dancing Shoes"

What comes to myself, I wouldn't call myself an artist... Far from it. But I draw and paint with oil colours a lot.

So Morphy, you would rather have bland imitation than actual imagination? I submit that it takes a lot more skill and talent to paint a Surreal picture than a Realistic one. Of course, I don't think that I would be able to achieve either with any degree of skill, and I severely doubt that you could, either.

First Doug any one can be right and this is not worth discussing because it will end up as a argument most likely and is a matter of view...(but thank you for the positive comment) and I will achieve it Danny.........

Friggin Aye man, that abstract naked children nazi shit is no good.

Anybody read the Spawn comic books? Well the artists that the Spawn comic book recruits are ****ing off the hook. I defy any abstract artist to kick more ass than the Spawn comic book.
