Let's Appreciate The Fuck Out Of Art

[Mr. Bungle]

It's complicated, that's for sure

[MA]

Anything can be art.

what like your psi balls lol

[Strike Witch]

Haha oh shit, I remember that crap!

[Nepsotic]

I don't.

E: Now I do.


Do these qualify as art?

Can you seriously stop pretending like you've been here for all these years and know all these inside jokes and what's happened here? Shit, even I don't do that.

[Nepsotic]

I wasn't, you can clearly see in my post.

I don't.

E: Now I do.

I researched it. At no point did I say, ME TOO, HA!

[STM]

I think he's more begrudged with the fact that you keep bringing this sort of old stuff up to feel included. It's a natural thing to do with the amount of shit some people still give you, but you just need to post relevant, interesting stuff, mate. Any way, I'm not here to give a fucking speech, so this:



This is arguably my favourite piece of art on DA ever.

[Sekto Springs]

Reminds me of Feeco Depot.

[STM]

I think it's the Victorian steam-punk architecture, I love all that sort of stuff. It's why I'm such a fan of dystopian novels I think.

[Nepsotic]

I've never been a fan of steampunk, but that really does look amazing.

[Slog Bait]

I know that the discussion happened a whole page ago, but:

All art. Any art. Not just visual art, no. Anything that can be considered an art. Anything you consider an art.

We have threads for things like "Oh hey, I just saw/listened/played blahblahblah", but we don't have any threads that are solely dedicated to appreciating (and by appreciating I mean going on and on about the technical aspects. The things that make this so appealing or at least seeing what can make it appealing to others.) that thing we just saw/listened to/played.

Personally, I consider games to be a form of art. It's a medium that allows most forms of art to come together to usually tell a story. This thread is for appreciating art, regardless of what medium, genre, style, and so on.

Also, I ran across this guy recently, and recall someone here saying they liked surrealist stuff, so I figured I'd share his work.

[MeechMunchie]

Garfunkel is an Art.

Don't say that in front of OANST, he'll shank you.

Baiting OANST is an art, and a fine one at that.

[Slog Bait]

Baiting OANST is the finest art of them all.

[MeechMunchie]

And you should know; you're a master baiter.

[MA]

you wouldn't believe how fucking long that took. i had to work for that rimshot.

[Strike Witch]

Well anyway, my favourite modern artist is Ao Usagi:

[Nepsotic]

Some of those were quite disturbing, but boob in a cup? I want.

[Wings of Fire]

Some of those were quite disturbing, but boob in a cup? I want.

Oh but this is his tamest stuff.

[Mr. Bungle]

Haha, oh man. I miss Leto.

[Sekto Springs]

Patricio Betteo is a great blend of modern digital and classic cubist influence.

[Dynamithix]

Love that first one. Is that Hellboy?

[Sekto Springs]

Yep.

[OANST]

Don't say that in front of OANST, he'll shank you.

Actually, I agree with Nep. I just think a lot of things are bad art.

[scrabface]

alright you chicken here are some children book illustrations from alfred kubin







"The Human"





























"epidemic"

[Sekto Springs]

Childrens' books, you say.

[Varrok]

Can't understand these childeren, eh listen to dubstep and watch creppy nude art

[Mr. Bungle]

I can't imagine any children's book publishing company that would let those into their books, thus traumatically scarring a whole generation of kids.

That said, they're nice pictures.

[Strike Witch]

I also like Escher!





And Giger.

[scrabface]

yea they're cool drawings

I love the palette and stroke of Sargent

[Phylum]

Some of those look more like photos than paintings.
