the ART COLONY

[sesame]

This Toilet is designed by artist Jemal Wright (Florida). Its adorned with 50,000 Swarovski crystals & mosaic set by hands! It fetched a handsome price of $ 75,000 !

Although its a toilet fixture, I cannot call it "just a commode"; its a piece of art in my eyes.

Now THAT is far superior to DuChamp's piece of Dada shit(ter).

Frigidaire mailed Pablo Picasso a check for $3,000.00 and asked him for some advice on their new Refrigerator design. Picasso promptly cashed the check and wrote back "I don't know anything about refrigerators, but I definitely think it should be white"
There's thousands of books on art criticism, I hope some of you will "mark your territory" here with a little drawing or something. Show you were here.

"I was here."
~Napoleon Bonaparte.
It was engraved into the Pyramids of Egypt.

I would like to carve that on Picasso's Bald Head,
or upon the Ass of an ass-patting Jackass Critic!

The picture above, reminds me of someone...
Who is it, Who is it?... Got it! Someone's ass!
Bionca's!

Nice stancil anna. I love that kind of stuff.

There are train tracks that pass by my neighborhood and alot of times trains park there over night, so a couple of times I have gone there to check out some of the graf art on there. I really dig that kind of stuff, I eat it up like candy! Here are some pics of some of them...

There is also a couple from this creek/stream up in the LA mountains, where I got my car stolen by some vatos! I think it looks cool the clashing of a urban style art with nature, if you look closely on one of them someone wrote "me n us girl came 2gether" I got a kick out of that one.

And that AMPK one is from when I went to Greece, it was on an elementary/middle school. There was much more and better graf in Greece, I just never had a chance to take pictures cuz I was in a car or bus when I saw them.

So ya I consider graf an art form, I know some people dont and yes some grafitti is absolutely horrible, but so is some of the other post modern bullshit like anna was saying where they take an object and call it art. Like that one famous upside down toilet, I forgot who did that but I learned about it in art history.

ok im done

This one is for lovers who wanna stay togather even while taking a piss! Believe me, this was only an art design in the beginning. But some whacko company is now producing it commercially!

An interesting thing about grafitti. What is art to one person can also be vandalism to another.
I will admit though that there are some really good grafitti works out there.

I get to see a great deal of railroad art with my job. Even the railroaders themselves seem to think that there is a lot of wasted talent in some of it.

Yah, some of it is that good.

Just saw Art School Confidential, thanks GRH, (still looking for High School Confidential, ) I heard a rumour that the Son of Sam and Robert Maplethorpe both belonged to a secret club that committed unspeakable sexual atrocities for kicks. I think that in art and music and even "Shemale" modeling, the attraction to the public is the aura of the art, but to the artist, you're trying to visualize and correct the central truth of the matter, the nugget of reality that everybody's stuck with.
