Can we post anything on here that's new or does it have to be "art" in the traditional sense?










I like giant fortress cities and airships a lot.  ;D


Are there any artists out there using Escher's techniques? I have a big book with random works of art by people after him using his techniques, but most of them are just way too simplistic.

Traditional?

Wonderful images, by the way.  :)

I meant to say something that would hung in an art museum, painted by "artists".

I see. I, for one, would consider what you posted 'art', traditional or not.

I see. Glad you liked them.  8)

Who are the most famous artists alive today, btw? (I'm not sure I can even name any).  ::)

I'm not sure digital images count as "traditional".

Probably Kapoor or maybe Christo.

I don't think so either.
Although... probably some newer artists might make use of some of those tools for something that would hang in an art museum. Could be a nice extra tool if used correctly...

Yeah, some of their stuff looks pretty cool.
Do you know any artists, though? (Like painters)? Their stuff looks more like conceptual architecture.

Maybe Close or Hirst.

Nor I, in regards to the painters, but I love both Christo and Kapoor, but you did ask for someone famous.

Hmmm... here's this link:

The featured artist seems to have a unique style:

I enjoy the texture of Stuart's paintings.

Nice. Thanks for the postings. They seem to have a similar feel to them.... perhaps a similar theme.  :)

Really?  :D
Well, if there is something similar about them, it's probably just an element of my personal taste that ending up choosing them.
