I really like a few of the American art pieces at the Art Institute of Chicago including this one:

Nighthawks

Edward Hopper

Really, just about anything by this guy (I know he has been mentioned once before in this thread, but he really deserves more attention).

P.S. Not sure if the pic will embed or if you have to click on the link, but I haven't messed with html in years...

Far be it from me to ever stop making references to this great game especially when I come across art such as this. I mean, seriously. Holy s**t....

I can't post an individual image b/c of the photostream, but take a look. The Rancor Pit is BADASS.

One of my friends just had an Art Show. She does tons of stuff that deals with rock music. I love a lot of her stuff.

 

For this art show, she took music and filtered out all the sound except the bass. Then she got lights to flash with the sound and put it together to make it give you the feel of being at a concert without the actual music - just the vibrations.

Groovy. That reminds me, anyone remember those dancing soda cans that 'moved' when music was played around them?

Sorry I thought you said "works of fart art".

Figured it out.

 

St George and the Dragon, by Raphael Sanzio.  I saw this painting at the Louvre in Paris.  It's done on a wood panel, not canvas.  As I remember, a bit smaller than a sheet of paper.

Seems like an appropiate place to post this interview with Nathan Sawaya.

Since I was born in the 70's and grew up in the 80's and 90's I've always liked ****.R. Giger and Patrick Nagel. I still have about 10 Nagels but they're currently displayed at my Mother's house.

One part Street Fighter, one part fast food, whole lot of kickass.

The wife and I were in France 5 years ago and picked a couple of architecture prints of the "Opera Garnier" in antique ally. She fell in love with them and we picked them up for approx. 150euros each. She loves her architecture. 

 

 

(these aren't pics of our personal prints, I couldn't get them to upload)

So my wife wanted to match the colour scheme of these prints for our bedroom and came across "1stdibs" which is an auction house in Boston (these pics are from their website). There is 4 to the set (which the vendor in Paris did have all 4) and they are being auctioned off starting at 13,000us framed. Apparently she has great taste and a bargain hunter without even knowing it.

 

Our most recent pick up was on a trip to Maui about a year ago from dolphin galleries in Wailea. If it wasn't for the great gallery rep. spending probably about 3hrs with us just bull****ting and not being a judgemental snob, we wouldn't have dropped the coin that we did. This one I loved because it brought me waaaaay back to eating cheerios and saturday morning cartoons. This is just a numbered print but the original goes for +$100,000us.

"Bugs at the Piano"

These are our personal prints, had to use the phone to upload them.
