art

[Morgana]

After we had the Theodor Kittelsen thread, talking about Luis Royo and tattoos, I thought it would be nice to have an art thread, where we can post links of our fave artist.
I'm very much into art and would be grateful to discover a "new" artist.

I start with
Jim Fitzpatrick
Simon Marsden
Meilin Wong
Amy Brown

more to come soon...

Oh I checked Elfwood and found a pic called Vintersorg.

Interesting thread Morgana. I love the word 'art'.
I remember when I was still in school I used to sit
and write random words on all my papers/books,
and 'art' was always there... It's so arty to just
write it!!! >) Luv it!

I'll have to snooop around a bit to see if I can find
some great art that I like... I have manily seen
loads of great desktop pics on the net, cause I've
never searched for paintings etc... We'll see what
I can come up with )

I don't have a scanner, so you can't really see a whole lot of detail, but this is something I drew

I like the artwork of some great friends of mine Unfortunately, it's nowhere on the net shown, tho

Hmmm, I liked the cover artwork of Bathory's "Hammerheart" very much, which was a part of Sir Frank Dicksee's "A viking's last journey"

Rembrandt's paintings are very moody I think, and I like those alot! As well as Caspar David Friedrich's works (Like the cemetary pics)

I'm not much of an cultural person when it comes to art, tho...

 

[Blackspirit]

Aaaaah, yessss....

I love the music, I love the albumcovers, I love the
logo, I love everything about this band >P

Now, someone hurry up and do the same thing
with Vintersorg! >)

there is a guy called richard kane ferguson who does paintings for Magic:The gathering. his paintings are amazing. he uses oil technique(I am good for literature but not for any other art expressions) and it looks so beautiful.like all windy and chaotic at times. I'll try to get some of his work here

Morgana, there's also a picture called "Dialogue with the Stars."

Anyway, for art, at least the old stuff, I like most paintings before the impressionist period, especially most of the Italian Renaissance paintings (except that the Mona Lisa is a piece of krep). Not a big fan of sculpture, but some of it's pretty decent.

By the way Gaunerin, thanks, I was going to post some of those links, but now I don't need it anymore

Yeah, I know

 

[Gaunerin]

No prob, Morg!

About those Vintersorg related pics.........oh well, I should probably shut up because I am not talented at all when it comes to drawing and stuff but.........what is this???

 

[Morgana]

*lol* well not the kind of art I like... but I had to post it here

But before we complain, we should do better! I'm better in photo art than drawing...

I don't know much about art or pay a lot of attention to it, but my mom got me into the Group of Seven a little and she introduced me to Emily Carr.

Here's a site that links you to various places you can view her work online:
Emily Carr

This one's my favourite though.
Zunoqua of the Cat Village

 

[Morgana]

I like Dali, O'Keeffe, da Vinci

 

[Morgana]

[Gaunerin]

I like your artwork, Morg!
