It's all about facade.

In my recent post, I said that the quartz crystals witch made me 'what I am today'.  I almost added, 'a statue of King David, glorious on the outside but with as much living value or enjoyment as cold, dead stone.'  A little later, I logged back in to see the statue of David posted by deborahkla.  I was reminded of a little recent surfing research which ( Read more... )

Really! So intrusive!

Well very nicely said. There was not or two along this line reposted via my repost.

I'm so glad to know you, one, because you love animals, two, because you are an artist! How would I ever find someone like that in real, local life! We take so much for granted, don't we. Stay with me, please, although I may disappoint you at times, OK! Your crested drawings are a little freaky, but you are still mine, so, bear with, yo.

Michelangelo was undoubtedly the supreme! However. I think we now have thousands, if now millions, if now our midst, in our time, right now. Crazy and the time, they are crazy together. Politics. Makes me want to explode. I dare say, however. It remains a comfort that one or two people do loom backwards in time.

As progressive as we are, we depend on the destruction of past covilisation, to make ourselves appear magically new. Nothing is new. In humanity. In animality. In physics. It's just a dance we were deemed to do, by nature, becaie survival is the nale of the game.

As far as David goes? It doesn't take an artist. It takes a society which gets fine with de-clothing, homosexuality, the nature body of a human being. That's often a huge cultural challenge. We benefited from Michelangelo why> Because money was coming in from the Veneti. Money. It's always the way. Money. It buys cars but it also buys civilisation. Art.

Anything over 100m just feels horrendously excessive. One if those "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" deals.

Haha, I have to have a few quirks, don't I? My work swings from fantasy to more traditional work and I'm just currently on the fantasy end of the pendulum right now.

Oh yes, there is certainly nothing completely new under the sun. It all has roots, even if it appears to fly. Horsemanship has been cycling for hundreds if not thousands of years. If you (general person you) find something "new" it's probably already been done by someone a hundred or more years ago, you just failed to read about it before discovering it!

Yes, money certainly helps fund the exploits of artists, whether it is directly commissioning works or procuring the supplies necessary to create!
