It's been fun, fellas!

Woo-hoo! I'd like to thank my parents for not liking videogames, which convinced me to devote more time to them. And the girls in junior high who ignored me, so I didn't have a busy schedule and could play more games. And my buddies who lent me copies of most of these games, because my parents wouldn't buy them and I was too busy gaming to get a job

Seriously though, gaming is probably still my favorite hobby (sorry Lego), and this quiz was a whole lot of fun. Thanks Orc! YouDaMan!

Basically as the title asks. What are your favorite works of art? It can be anything from paintings to sculptures, from pencil sketchings to pixels. A couple of my art picks would include M.C. Esher with his captivating perspective pieces or Salvador Dali with his bizarrely intriguing masterpieces.

 

M.C. Esher - Self Portrait

Salvador Dali - Butterfly Windmills

Anything by Charles Schultz.

I don't know art, but I know what I like, and for some reason, the first thing that came to mind for me when I saw this thread was this painting:

 

 

And anything by Walter Inglis Anderson

Anything by Esher especially the optical illusions.  Also 3D pavement art.

That "Great Wave" is a famous work of art for a reason, and I believe I have seen some of Walter Inglis Anderson's style before with his soft palette of colors.

100%, yes.

Now to add something else to the topic, here is one recent mindblowing example of why I love pixel art so much aside from my own geekness.

Death Magic by AlexHW at PixelJoint

I know next to nothing about art.

 

And although it's probably gotten pretty cliche the last couple of years, there's something about Van Gogh's Starry Night that makes it one of my favorites:

Maybe cliche but it is simply a nicely relaxing scene; a favorite of mine just as well.

Sounds sorta predictable (EDIT: lol I see now me and alpine used the same word choice) given his more mainstream status now but I'm a Banksy guy. Blek le Rat is excellent too.

 

New subtopic: Street Artists: love 'em or hate 'em?

 

Anyways, has anyone else been hearing about this Australian girl who is really famous (I think she is like four or five) for making abstract paintings?  She's sold a painting for 24, 000 bucks and so young http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aelita_Andre

This thread may bring out that creative streak and you may want to tear open that nice brand new box and start building something!

 

Resistance is futile.

Haha, I sorta want to open my TIE now, but the price finally turned around so too bad for me As far as Lego artists, I think all MOCers are technically artists, but sculpture/mosaic wise, Nathan Sawaya is great. Here's one you might like Alpine:

Great example of FRACTALS, lol.....the Great Wave off Kanagawa..by Katsushika Hokusai.....mount Fuji on a back. Great artwork.

My favorite work of art is a Star Wars mural in my high school depicting the Death Star blowing up. Sadly, I don't have a picture of it.

You have a Star Wars mural in your school?    Awesome lol

Yes! And a lot of other murals.

Another Pixel pick just 'cause.

Some Dragon by Fool at PixelJoint

I really liked these (from some photoshop contest), not sure why...

 

 

 

I like M.C. Escher and anything my four year old son draws up...

I collect 90's concert posters. Love the silkscreens.

 

I really dig when people come up with quirky crossovers such as this made even better when they could actually work!

 

Akumario Drakoopa by Emperor Pixel on PixelJoint

Maybe cliche but it is simply a nicely relaxing scene; a favorite of mine just as well.

Mine too!

Mechwarrior is filled with a countless amount of light to heavy assault mechs; all of which are fantastic in design and weaponry. Anyway, I remember coming across this one artist not only with a great artstyle but he also captures the essence of the mech in action on the battlefield rather well.

 

Battletech - TRO 3145 Mercenaries by Shimmering-Sword on deviantART

I have a different fell for art, here is a few things I find amazing in 1 way or another. Beside the art my girls make!!!!!

 

this is 1 of my girls and mines favorite

 

I all so really like the look and feel of bench/shelf

 

 

This one should speak for it's self, going to make this for my wife as she is a Hugh Zelda Fan

 

 

And the artist minds that came up with these's 2

 

 

And oh course bikes, beautiful bike's

 

I know my choices for art, tend not to be traditional, I just think art as some thing beautiful, and I find these to be moving. But I am not an artist.
