Slowly gaining friends. Well, have one now. I'm so lame. Haven't actively pursued anyone, just been commenting on journals and posting boards. Any one interested in the arts, books, movies, and whatever else want to be my friend?

The Urban Institue for Contemporary Arts just sent me an email for a submission request. I guess I should send them another $20, wait six months, and...

It's raining here. Why is it that every time it rains the local classic rock station plays "Riders on the storm"? Isn't that a bit cliche?

Just went down to Old Town to visit the gallery district. I popped into my friend Spider's store to see how my prints, tee shirts, and buttons were doing. He didn't even have them up frown Well, it has been...

Comicking is under the impression that I care what he thinks about my Fine Art, and yes it IS fine art. It meets all of the criteria to be Fine Art. Whatever Pop Art has been to you is not Pop Art. What you are describing is either Impressionism, or maybe even expressionism, perhaps you should investigate to two art froms before defining my art as such. I only brought this point up again because it was adressed again in the comment above.

As to the "Attack" it was not what you said but how you said it. It was worded as a backhanded dig.

comicking said:

Ok, but you may not like my response.

I may be interested in seeing some Fine Art on SG. Know where I can see some? The Pop Art you present is good, but its not what I would call Fine Art.



This is akin to saying to someone "You are a pretty nice guy, for an asshole." and then when the recipient challenges takes issues with being called an asshole, the instigator says "Hey, you're being selective. I told you I though you were a pretty nice guy." If I wanted to be selective I would have focused on the fact that you said the art was good, and ignored the context of the statement.

In closing, the issue has become really nothing more than childish bickering. And this is my last comment on this matter in particular. As to my original board topic, that is another story.

comicking:
Alrighty. Apparently you've got me with the dictionary. I did look these words up after PixieTits' post about what is or is not fine art. I still contend that Fine Art is different than fine art, and not just that one is capitalized and the other isn't. I withdraw, retreat, re-group and answer give an answer to your last question in the thread. While DigDug seems to contradict the meaning by mentioning that what he draws for SG is not what he would call Fine Art, he brings up that its really just semantics. Demetrius_z states why he thinks its a bad idea and I answer with why its a good idea that won't work.

Furthermore, I'm sorry that my gender has embittered you to those do not know you. I personally know for a fact (I get in fights with most men because they refuse to believe the statistics) that women are better at almost everything than men. Men can excel at cooking and cleaning house if they apply themselves, but women make better doctors, nurses, lawyers, mechanics, bus drivers, construction workers, plumbers, artists, musicians, pilots, politicians, ceo's, scientists, you name it. Women are better at every male-dominated (and female-dominated) profession if they apply themselves with the exception of the two I mentioned above. Men just have a hard time "moving out of the way" and beat the slender gender down with glass ceilings and what-not.

"You wish to try the life of the artist; you wish to try a life of arduous, unceasing work, and- uncertain praise. Your praise would have to be earned, like your bread; and both would come slowly, scantily- what do I say?- they might hardly come at all."

-George Eliot-

What do you think about reality tv shows that set the feminist movement back 30 years? How about ones that prey on the fact that millions of young women think that the only way they are worthwhile at all is to be another pretty face to look at? I think it's a disgusting comment on society in general, and that they do far more harm...

Going off on an anime rant now.

Finally got the chance to see the last "His and her Circumstances." I'm a little bummed, it was anticlimatic.

All of these loose ends I wished to be tied up were completely left wide open.

And does Gainax decide to sooth my pain by making any new episodes? Not that I can find out.

Boo...

I need a...
