So today I had about ten minutes to spare on matters cultural, so I typed "art" into google, and went not for news this time, but images. And I kept going through the pages of pictures until I found something entertaining.
I chose this picture:
It is one of the pictures here, but what here is, and who all the baldies are, I have no ideas.
It all looks very vulgar to me. I.e. it is the sort of art that you do not need an art critic to enable you to enjoy, and in fact the kind of art where an absence of art critics is probably greatly to be preferred.
Who do you reckon did this, and while doing what?
The answer is here. And this is who put me onto it.
She comments on it also. Concluding wisdom:
… we are deeply programmed to find the human face interesting.
Indeed.
I like doing these little "how about that" postings. Such things enliven any blog, and don't take long to do. You don't always want to be ploughing through elongated profundities.
I've had quite a bit of positive feedback about this posting, also involving faces, and also a quicky.
Via the latest newsletter from b3ta.com I got to the guy who did this:
I really like the look of his site, with its regular clutches of four sketch excerpts. The one above is got to via the left hand end picture on 5/07/2003. And check out also the link to coloured stuff, just above that date.
Says he ("Crap Juggler"), of the big picture above:
I did this at work abd I think its one of better sketches, in fact I'm going to colour this one up and use it in my portfolio.Even robots are allowed to be couch potatoes.
Indeed. And that would be "and" and "it's".
Tragically, and like so many sites nowadays, it looks like a blog, but it ain't. You can't link to individual postings. Tragic. He should contact these people and get himself properly sorted.
I'm not sure if the actual stuff itself, if I saw it in the paper, so to speak, would thrill me so much. But I love the way it all looks on a computer screen, with the cream background.
I've just found a bit which says copyright Richard Tingley. I guess that's his regular name, and I hope he doesn't mind me copying his picture to here.
