Let's start an ART thread!

Thanks for the links. That was interestng reading.

You sound just like my mom. I hope you put a note in there, too. I think it would mean a lot to them to know you planned this. XO

Maybe the third eye? I had a little headache today, probably from staring at that image I posted last night. I really got into it, lol! I could do all kinds of things with it.

What type of paper do you use? That's great. I've tried to work on wood panel, the oil in the paint got sucked up so fast I found it hard to work with (I was probably supposed to prime it first, but was impatient, haha). I think you are good at more than just color. But, I know how it is. I was so frustrated while painting I tossed one of my paintings out a second-floor window once.

Oh my goodness....lots in this link.

Happy Sunday, Sloane!

I like these both very much, very pretty with calming vibes.

You know, when I checked out oilapocalypsestill, as I looked through it, I realized you have documented the feel of the whole thing. Those images should not be sold/bartered separately. They are a whole.

I hope you get the chance to do a showing of all of those at once.....maybe one room covering all 4 walls with them....because it's not only documentation, but also an experience.

So, I wasn't too surprised when I went to apocalypsestill and read your intention with that project.

Journalism was my passion for many years. When the Iran protests occured in their 2009 elections, I was reporting on it for 3 days before msm reported on it. Many of the videos and images I captured have been scrubbed from the internet now. So I still have my journals and my words about it, but you have visuals to document the horrors.

I hope you feel good about this whether it results in something or not. You've done your part to help.

Can only do a link but this artist works in ball point pen and is absolutely amazing.

For art lovers out there Colossal is a great blog.

Some sculpture, including some masterpieces by Bernini and Rodin:

I got such a kick out of all 3 of them. Thanks. Helen blew me away with blocking the way she did. So, did you watch all 3 of them every week?

If you soft focus, the middle image pops out. And you can make the middle image do several different shapes, besides 0356, plus you can also make that back image move or stand still. It's really amazing what all you can do with this one.

Great links! Wow, that ballpoint pen portraiture exceeds what I thought was possible, both links do...amazing, thanks for sharing.

Helen is/was a pretty amazing artist, I know that vid only shows the beginning of a painting, but for anyone who hasn't seen her paint, try to find a full episode. Her realism was really great. I think I picked up little things here and there. I started off with a Bob Ross kit when I was 11 or 12, I did landscapes for a few years, then completely gave that up and just did my own stuff from dreams or imaginings.

Yes, I watched all three every week. Actually, a lot--I was home a lot as a child due to illness, I had home instruction for a few years, and during the day I watched a lot of PBS. It kept me good company, I enjoyed watching them create.

Once again just a link. It's to the Veiled Vestal by Monti. The way they make marble look as ethereal as lace just boggles my mind.

Do you guys wanna know about strange attractor art? It's the Art of chaos:




Serpent head inside the Sun synoptic images.



Amenijehad again inside the sun ultraviolet spectrum with a black and white filter.



Thoth and Ra in its monkey sign wearing a magician hat.



From the Akira franchise, Tetsuo inside plywood sheet, appeared naturaly without any special effect.



Strange Attractor art is the art of logical forms appearing inside chaotic medium. Click my link in my sig to see what it's all about and find your own art ;)

I love what you've been posting today. And when I check the links, I always like what you've done to them better, lol! With an HD monitor, I can imagine what they look like. I might like this and Assasin's Creed best, but also the 2 Lilly pointed out. Oh, I like all of them, why am I trying to pick out what I like best!!! :o)

Redhead girl is amazing. And the artist using DNA for her rendentions.....wow, makes me paranoid, heh!

Seems to me you made good use of your time at home. Most kids would be watching cartoons.

I love stuff like this. I never knew it had a name but I see things in things all the time. I had The Scream in the pad under my carpet for a while. (tore it all out to put new carpet down. kinda hated to lose The Scream, lol)

In fact, that's why I enjoy sketching with pencil because things show up. I know it happens with paint too, but I'm not that good with paint, yet.

Wouldn't it be fun to paint some of these on the walls in your house?

Here's a couple of vids, I got the link of the Colossal blog. It's a room that's only 4 meters x 4 meters x 8 meters but the inside is covered in mirrors giving the infinity effect. Very Dr Who's Tardis style.

U3, strange attractor art is also called simulacrum, or paraedolia or even scrying. It's like looking at the clouds, there's really a connection between "this" fifth element and the conscious mind.

Heres other shots I got:



Mr I know who ;)



Jesus like face



Anubis like face inside my garage plywood, and it's unflat.



The word Blow, hehe



a girl I know from work


and so many more. Keep looking U3, see ya

Yeah, they'd look great on my walls, but as far as painting them, I'd have to hire somebody, this isn't part of my talents
