Well it certainly worked --- The Scream has to be about the most parodied picture since Mona Lisa.
I've enlisted the aid of a HAL9000. Provided he doesn't have a conflict with the mission statement I should be o.k.
"Hal, open the door. <waits> Hey man screw the retinal scan --- o.k. so it has been a long night. Don't tell me you missed me --- I left you with plenty to do. What do you mean proving the Riemann hypothesis was an unfair assignment? Wait what the f*ck were you doing on my Facebook page in the first place??"
Not allowed, although I suppose I could conjure the bark as long as it lacked the bite.
I might add that I have a lot of square footage at the price, and use a good deal of it for business hence deduct it as an expense. So being here is not as nutz as it might sound.
for recording of history, I agree its quite fascinating, but for the modern day, I dont see the point mostly and find such things mostly boring, if thats what you need, take a photograph, or make a 3d model and get something that actually IS accurate.
I guess thats my generation, or my inner technician coming through, but while I can appreciate the technique, I think its a huge effort for.........?
Smart Cartoonish? hmmm, 'super'-real yes. guess youve not seen one in the flesh, or his self portraits. I guess you just dont 'get' it (and thats cool, its art afterall) . besides I think you missed that I already had a pretty good idea what sort of art you were talking about. I like more artistic license in my art and showed what I meant; which was the whole point of my post
while you seem to despise it?

This would be an interesting test of fidelity of recording and reproduction.
I have a relevant anecdote about the late Jack Ryan (inventor of the mechanism used by Mattel in the Chatty Cathy doll and con/subsequently a very rich man) but this is the cocktail hour so it will have to wait.

What doesn't kill me will make me anecdotal. So far that has included some Bodega Elena Mendoza Chardonnay, 2006 Keenan Merlot, and some Wild Rock Cupid's Arrow Pinot Noir. With food of course. And I'm not typing this on the road.
You mean Akitas, beautiful animals loyal and protective to the max. I love Huskies and Akitas.
My boy talks to me every night.
That motorcycle pic is one of a set that were done for Aus Two Wheels magazine....the originals are quite breathtaking in detail and technique....Bryon really is a master in this 'art form'....check his cv and the work he has been doing teaching in the U.S.
Otherwise renderings are largely computer generated nowadays, useful for visual proof of concept in industrial design.

Yes, the whole notion that it has some importance....and the 'percieved' value.
More Percieved Values....

Average price $20,107....no idea if yours is above average price, or below average price....either way it looks like you can't lose.
I have a mate who has a large Albert Namatjira painting....no idea of the 'value', but I do believe it is sizeable.

I was talking about 3D computer modelling/visualization. I have nothing bad to say about the technique, but being primarily a technical, rather than artistic achievement, I just dont see the point of spending all that time and still only having one frame of it, a frame that was as accurate as you could make it, but not perfect and you are stuck with the angle, lighting etc, especially since a lot of it is done in ink.
for that end result, if the thing exists, photograph it, if it doesnt, model it and I would have said that 20 years ago too.
I value realism mainly for the story that is associated with it, like the artists and photographers that traveled with explorers and Armies that showed such bravery to document the occasion for the world, map makers like those that documented and mapped Northern Ireland and Scottland in Medieval times etc etc.
I did get your point.
dont place the blame for that on the artist, it has very little to do with the artist and the price is simply what the market will pay. You also seem to discount the time involved in such a creation and it sounds like you have bought a story someone told.Yes, the whole notion that it has some importance....and the 'percieved' value.
is the price obscene? absolutely, does that carry any importance as to its value as an artwork? none whatsoever

Watched a documantary on last years Turner prize, sorry but a lot of it these days is just a load of codswallop, and a load of codswallop talked about it, by a load of lentil sucking right on people IMO of course, give me art (or music) created by a tortured soul any day, not some right on world saving tax paying PC correct save the world pillock.
haha, OK well I just make it my business to not bother about such things and agree with you completely re pillocks, a lot of the best art doesnt even see a gallery these days with so much being sold direct online and nobody is getting rich off it. talking about art always comes a distant second or 13th compared to looking at it, or creating it.
I must admit i'm partial to SOME of Damien Hirst's installations, but in general i'm not a fan of that side of modern art, I like some of his stuff for the shock and awe factor.
