Official: Post a Picture of Yourself

See, still nothing…no seriousness at all, infantile, stunted manchild.

I’m just easily misunderstood. There is no cognitive dissonance, I simply paint what i see…if you think such paintings as “wife” represents a dark hidden side to me and something that I am likely to commit, then you are wrong, i don’t know how many times i would have to say you’re wrong for you to realize you are wrong, by then what does it matter? especially when you have already made your mind up…i’ve learned to let people just project themselves onto to my art…perhaps it applies to you a lot more than myself…

As far as you art, it seems quantity over quality, respectfully, you haven’t progressed beyond infantile level, there may be deep meaning to some of them but the actual quality is basic. This is because you have never learned to draw/paint, possibly due to you thinking everything is relative…styles are, but light, shadows, cast shadows, sources, highlights etc are not…failure to grasp these will hold you to a level…

it’s beyond me if you think this is not infantile level…

You clearly have a drive producing all those drawing, so why not just learn how to actually draw?

I’m particularly fond of the mask room

I might repaint it and show you how it’s really done.

At your rate, it will take you a billion years to get to my level

Even then i can see a dozen things wrong with it…so i must repaint it, until i perfect it…you lack this…

Why do people think hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans? They just flooded through idiocy and greed, we got hit and torn apart, the eye of the storm went right over our house (which really was creepy as hell). And if that was a god sent punishment, F••k that god.

Everything is God sent, surely if such a being exist, then everything would be down his doing, there is no luck or random, these things don’t exist.

Even if you want to refer to something always existing such as energy, then everything would be random and luck, if the energy is “intelligent” with a “will”, then the same applies, no random no luck, unless the energy is half intelligent, or developing intelligence…there may be room for random luck…

unless the energies’ will is to be random and lucky…

Civility please…

You want a serious discussion, go here or here. ← Those are currently my two “serious” ILP projects at the moment. This thread just is just child’s play to me.

Do you mean amateur level? Yes, I’m an amateur artist, not a professional. This is not a career. As far as careers go, I develop software. My art is a side hobby. I don’t know about infantile. ← Usually that term refers to one’s level of maturity, not professionalism… unless that’s actually what you meant.

In any case, I know my art’s good. The average 40 year old can’t draw nearly as well as I can. You’re only proving that to everyone by posting my stuff. Now, as compared to a professional (I’m presuming you’re a professional, manni?), my skills lag far behind. I never took any formal training or education on how one is “supposed” to draw as a professional, so it’s not going to win any awards… I know that. But as far as the general population goes, I know I’ve got a talent.

Thanks for the publicity!

Not without infringing copywrite laws, you won’t.

If I had said “brilliant points, manni!” in my last post instead of “You would know,” would you be saying “I like your art, gib”?

:laughing:
You must have been a stubborn little boy.

:evilfun: There just may be a few philosophers and psychologists who would go along with that.
But of course that WOULD depend on the individual and how open this person would be to see the negative or the undiscovered within him/her -self.

There is a need for gadflies in this world but the ability to respond and not merely react would be a positive only if that gadfly exercised some balance and didn’t so much attack the person but his/her thinking.
But some sense of balance would be called for.

Again, aw forget about it. You just have whatever kind of new year comes to you.

No, you dont. Your games are garbage, and your art is only good because of the 7th sense emotions it invokes. Your art is of low physical quality, however it has a 7th sense invocation connected to it which makes it strangely pleasant. Kind of like a fugly bitch you keep going back to because she has a kind soul.

Your art is more tolerable than Mannequins because of it’s 7th sense qualities, however Mannequins has more technical skill, though most of Mannequins work is still not that great.

If I compare myself to an ape, or chimpanzee, in relation to talent, I am not being a spiritual friend to myself.

mannikin you suck, you are rubbish…oh mannikin, please look at me …PLEASE LOOK AT ME!!!111 PLEASE…

Didn’t say you sucked or were rubbish, said you were subpar.

mannikin, PLEASEEEEEEE LOok at me!! I need the attentions…I’m soo bored of life!!! please!!!..i HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO!! Oh other than EATING!! SHITTING AND MAKING POINTLESS THREADS ABOUT TOILETS!!..MY FEMININE NATURE DEMANDS THAT I EMOTIONALLY PROVOKE AND EMOTIONAL PROVOKE EVEN MORE!!!, please lOOK at ME!!!

In all honesty, though, I actually agree, it is subpar, mostly I am not satisfied, I haven’t reached even a satisfactory level I wish to rise to, which does bother me in a way to the point that the annoyance demands that i fix it by improving.

Well, if you’re comparing me to Manni, and you think Manni is subpar, that ain’t too bad.

Glad you picked up on the 7th sense thing. That’s really all I ever wanna get across in my art work. As soon as I feel I’ve accomplished that, I feel no need to touch it up with technical niceties like some douche bag art school graduate who thinks conforming to technical standards is what makes her special. ← In fact, that would hide it.

Where do you rank in art skill, Trix?

Gib doodles?

Never seen anything he has done.

I love this painting.

Sage smoking a pipe. Not so much for it’s technical qualities, more for it’s light and darkness and the mood it projects, the eye can wander over it for quite a while.

Manni posted it right here in this thread. Look up.
