It's impressions he gets when listening to Stockhausen..... it's not supposed to be good.   

You bet! Here's Cosmic Pulses:

I aim to please

Funny that you of all people say that, after all, you look like a baboon, and you behave like a monkey, too...Making fun of the way someone looks is about the most idiotic and childish thing to do, but you bring the level of discourse down that much.


Anyway, here is another M masterpiece. It is called "loneliness":

M has inspired me. I call this "The Haircut"

[M forever]

That looks more like a headcut though.

Not as minimalist and to-the-point as my art, but that is the result of many years of sublimination and compression of the most important elements in visual art. Still, I can see that you have something to say and a desire to communicate it. I like the reference to East Asian calligraphy expressed by the tapered strokes (can you do that in MS Paint, too?). The desperately raised arms of the figure - is it a self-portrait or a general comment about humanity and its suffering? - are very expressive and draw the observer in, invite him to participate in the headless suffering. I see a strong social commentary in these lines.

This is my own take on this very important subject, the haircut:

[Joe_Campbell]

Haha...I thought the image failed to load at first. Nice effect.

I like 'the haircut' even more!

[mn dave]

Oh my god, M. I'm dying here!

My final piece of the evening. I cannot create anymore tonight. It is too difficult and painful to create such great artworks as mine and an artistic genius must have his rest.

I call this one: "M Forever"

Actually I think that's a very clever little sketch.

Thank you for this thoughtful hommage.

Allow me to share a very personal work of mine. It is a portrait of my girlfriend, Jennifer.

Saftig!

How do you do that?

This is a very powerful work, BTW, eloquent, maybe even verbose, but full of meaning and poetry. I can see you are telling my story there. There is an M at the beginning of the line, and then it continues to outline the shape of the state of California (where I used to live) which evolves into the coastline of Massachusetts (where I live now) - but mirrored (yet the characteristic outreaching shape of Cape Cod can be clearly identified), a bold and elegant recreation of my journey. Thank you!

Saftig!

Thank you, too (and she says thanks! also). This is one of my most personal and condensed works, about a very personal subject, one of the few which are actually in color. Brown tones dominate here because she has brown skin, dark brown eyes and very dark brown, almost black hair (yes, she is "Hispanic" American). The red dot denotes my pounding heartbeat when she is hugging me.

That looks obscene.

I wouldn't feel too bad about it. You've only just begun to try at Hebrew, after all - I'm sure Saul doesn't expect you to be as fluent in it as he is in English, after all his years of immersion in the language.

Hehehe...

[Lethevich]

My ASCII hommage to Saul <3

[(poco) Sforzando]

How do you do that?

You expect me to reveal my trade secrets? Does Saul tell us how he copies and pastes his birds? The very thought of it. . . .

[greg]

I caught you, Saul, in the act!

[mn dave]

Excellent work, my friends. It warms my heart to see such great art. (And that rhymed, yes it did.)

I worked alllll morning on my latest masterwork. And I post it here for your eyes only!

It is called, "The Terrible Clef"
