The 'Share Art You Like' Thread!

Michael Colton said:
I didn't see one of these. We have them for music, film, photography, who you would sleep with, but as far as I know not one for physical art - be it digital, traditional, or whatever. So I figured I'd start one! Whether it is book covers or a nifty sketch your third cousin did last Tuesday share and enjoy!

We do actually have threads for the good book covers and the bad and the ugly book covers and even (music) album covers but those are topically restricted - I don't know of a general "l'art pour l'art thread".

I assume one per post behind spoiler tags would help those with slower internet. Also, don't remove the signatures of the artists like some people do. Also, generally-speaking, not linking to the artist's website or community page where they themselves posted it is the same as not giving credit. So do that.

I can't do all that - I wouldn't remove credit from anybody but it's all just floating around the net and so wherever it's from and whatever it says is all I know. I'm not real big on art as such - I like book and album covers and astronomy pics and MC Escher and whatever else more than museum pieces (though I guess some Eschers are museum pieces). A lot of my favorite visuals are background images/wallpapers (which is ironic because I've used the same one for about ten years now but I still look at 'em and sometimes put it up for a few minutes before going back to my old one. Here's a random one:

Two more bits of random:

BTVS Klimt scene to 22:20 - the vamps have just eaten a college student or two and are going through their stuff.

And what are the media/gallery/album things on this site for? Just for one's own art or can it be from other sources? And, if the latter, does it have to be from certain kinds of sources or what? Or should I just PM Brian or a mod with this sort of question? (I was thinking it would be handy to just upload a mess of cool pics and then link some from there to here but I don't know if that's the way it's supposed to work.)
 
@J-Sun the image behind your spoiler tag is broken, at least on my end. But yes, the things I mentioned were meant largely in the vein of "don't intentionally do these things." It is not always possible.

And DB! I haven't seen anything by Digital Blasphemy in ages.

Sorry about that. Works here, but that doesn't matter, as I've already seen it. :) Does this link work any better?

Still getting a 404. It is likely on a site that tries to impede direct linking.

Edit: Oh, there. I refreshed a few times and got it to load. One of the better android representations I've seen. :)
 
Bought this yesterday. My new house is gonna look awesome.

This monumental horse head by Nic Fiddian Green was installed on a nearby hilltop a few years ago. Sadly, it was then bought some months later and shipped off to Australia. I loved it. It was so from-out-of-nowhere, but it seemed to fit the landscape really well. I almost wanted to worship it.

That is a wonderful plate, Mouse. I love Etsy, and I think I'll look at this person's work there.

And HB, what an imposing, impressive sculpture! I feel sad for you that it's gone...it must have been awe inspiring to just rest beside this. It's one of the coolest what-the-heck-is-this-doing-here pieces of human creation I've ever seen, I think. How bizarrely wonderful!
 
Rather late to the party, but anyway, here is one of my all time favourite artists, and one of her pieces...

(couldn't find the spoiler button, so linked to it. Also she does amazing watercolours, and to anyone interested in tarot decks, she has created a really beautiful one. Her art is so intricate, very good for writing prompts.)
