good Dali site

[eclectica]

It is hard for me to appreciate the visual arts. I am often bored or unimpressed with the works that I see. My favorite though is Dali. Here is a good site with many of his works:

Who's your favorite visual artist?

I like Van Gough. :bluefish:

i enjoy Dali ... he brings out my fears. I find some paintings rather scary and they make me feel like a stranger to myself

I also am fascinated with Goya's - the black paintings

here are some links :

even tho i am inclined to regard anything u say with disdain i cannot. I like dali a lot... i enjoy the graphical nature of his work... the straight lines, the wavy lines, the imprecise preciseness of it... more than anything i enjoy the way he subtley fucks with the perspective... and therefore ur mind... on a conscious and unconscious level...

I haven't consumed much goya, but i think i will from now on... i loved the darkness of those pictures, darkness in atmosphere and subject matter too...

so rather than unfairly disdaining u (ye i know there ain't such a word), i will say thankyou... excellent stuff =]

i don't think u are unfairly disdaining anyone..lol i had a boss man one time who used to show favoritism to the female worksrs..so much so..that one of my peers finally had enough of it and went up to him confrontationally and said, "i have a pussy too, ya know!"

Just because a person is born female does not make them omniscient, omnipresecent, all knowing and right...i had a difficult time with that fact in highschool..being blinded by love, beauty and the feminine 'mystique' i could not see past the forest for the trees to understand that the object of my affection could in fact be wrong.

teh object of ur affection is wrong here, period.

it's like criminal_sniper said when calling her a 'skank'...he was being honest and true because he is detached and able to see things objectively.

i found it funny for its 'irreverance' because its something i would never have dared doing..neither would you.

i am too close to the subject to be objective or impartial.


1. i'm not sure u are that close to the subject

2. just because someone is very annoying it doesn't make them a skank.

3. it's easy to call someone u don't know bad things... madonna's a whore... JLo is a big arsed gold digger etc.

4. I didn't unfairly disdain anyone anyway hahahha =D


here, i can prove what i am saying...

u say "it's like criminal_sniper said when calling her a 'skank'...he was being honest and true because he is detached and able to see things objectively."

so i say "i have never been to church in my entire life... and i think all organised religion is fake and bad"....

does that make me right?


i think u are going to have problems trying to resolve that particular juxtaposition unless u rethink the validity of criminal_sniper's viewpoint.

[Dollar_Girl]

listen harby, i have chatted to u like 3-4 times in what, 9 months? you're not 'close' to me, because u dont know me, you just like to pretend you do, and tell people that we are 'close' when we are not. You dont seem to be responding well to the fact that i am not interested in anymore of your rambling, manipulative FORCED interaction... with ur daily pm's and your emails and ur need to always talk about me in posts. I mean dood... with all honesty, get over it? i havn't pm'd you or emailed u or chatted with u for a while, yet you dont have the ability to move on.


As for mek... or Doghopper X ... I have shared alot of myself with meky over the past 4 years... u harbynger have no idea about any of that and you never will, fuck knows u have tried to manipulate information out of me, and i'm more than pleased with my decision to tell u to get fucked. I care very deeply for mekajinn, and i always will. I openly call him my best friend. You Harbynger on the other hand never have been and never will be because you are cruely manipulative in your words and dull droning nature. Nobody is perfect, that is why there is always room for forgivness and re-born friendhips and relationships, but i dont wish to have some special little friendship with u, like u have been making out that we have. I think you are creepy and obsessive and if you were my goddamn neighbour, i'd have your motherfucking arse ARRESTED. :beer:

u know i saw a documentary on Goya a good while ago depicting some of his sketches and paintings... the darker paintings... and i truely felt the evil... he painted these horribly evil looking 'angels' with big gushes of gas coming out of their arse and many other CRUEL looking creatures.... he truely tried to make pure things look putrid and i thought it was SO beautiful, because they literally made me scared. I thought u'd like Goya's dark paintings. I have another artist i think u may like, i will try to find him for u

There is something beautiful and fascinating in all that ugly evil he portrays. :D

I like the Saturn (http://eeweems.com/goya/03_008.html) painting by Goya, of Saturn devouring his progeny out of jealousy. It is the beastlike rawness which I like. The Greek and Roman gods were corrupt, imperfect beings, and were only gods because of their power. That's quite a difference from the image portrayed of the immaculate, chaste Jesus.

[Dollar_Girl]

Would u like Goyas black paintings hanging in your family room? you know i thought about that... i love them... they are beautiful to me... but i feel a certain madness when i stare at them too much and i feel like having them surround me while sitting in a room would break a part of my sanity...


people can easily portray and create an image of evil... but not many people can create it to be so affective as Goya did... the faces... the colours... i mean their faces truely look like something out of hell, every shadow is beautifully placed...


i think that is special

[Criminal_Sniper]

i try to only judge what i can
i call her a skank its because she is doing or saying something skanky
if im a moron tell me i dont go in the corner and cry
not everyone will like u
actually i think that when u change urself for someone u have lost urself
i hope that i could get close to people but not in a sexual way its kinda rediculous to think that u can get a root just by posting on some board and following someone round like a puppet

i dont think im right
i think i am right to myself but maybe not in others eyes
u cant make everyone think like u do
this world would be too boring if that were the case and there would be nothing new
whatever works best for u

dollar girl u seem really nice and all but if u are one of those poser chicks then what can i do?
what should i do?
should i care?
id be happy for my name to be fucker
u can call me what u like but it wont change me
if i made an incorrect judgement and u werent being yourself then i do appologise

its got nothing to do with how much u know about everything
that goes for all of us

the more u know the stronger opinion may be formulated

and being so close to someone u can be blinded and not see there faults
but thats ok if u focus on the good
im sure she has much more good than bad as i hope all people do

i went to church up untill 3 years ago
and i have good reasons why i dont believe
i have read more than my grandmother (born again christian for 48 years) and grandfather (he was an ex-minister aswell)
they believe and i dont is it coincidence? no
they always says ''i dont know enough to answer u''
knowledge can be power but power can be good or bad forwards or backwards and right and wrong

u know dood, i am not cut up by you calling me a skank... i mean so what lol? the comment i made about the avatar was a joke... "taht is SOOOO 2001" ... joke man, just a joke. To be honest i dont have any desire to live by the current trends... i dont even have enough money to buy a vogue magazine to even see what the current trends are. I go by what i feel, and i wear what suits my mood that day (or whatever is clean, coz i only do the washing when there are no more clothes to wear :coward: )

I have not gone around here using anything phsyical to boost my image or whatever, i post here because i enjoy the different intellect here... i have a varying sense of humour... sometimes it's dry sarcasm, sometimes it's just stupid ... i like it here, because i dont have to be worried about posting dry sarcasm, coz most ppl here can take it without having a cry or trying to analyze it as a founding comment of my entire existence... coz it isn't... i like the conversation here, i enjoy the people here ... that is why i am here... and not the 'hip' place to be which is .net or wahtever.

I dont like the way 'wishful thinking' is going on about "what you said to criminal sniper" ... coz i didn't take any of it to heart, i thought u didn't either... i think he is the only one who continues to analyze it and make a fuss... even my response to u calling me a skank was in humour... i'm just like that and i enjoy people who have at times a rude sense of humour, but dont dwell on things and have a cry because i called them a cockhead, or i get called a 'skank'.

i also dont like the way 'wishful thinking' keeps droning on about how i use the 'i have a pussy' thing to get ahead... i mean what gives harb? ur the only one that brings it up... i never asked u to forum stalk me, and i never played on the fact that u were, i come here to post, not share lipstick techniques. so get over it sista.
it's all good

[Criminal_Sniper]

u never did answer me as to who those lips were
if they are urs i can see harby's obsession
but things like that are not good for anyone
if i bumped into u in the street and saw lips like those id resist strongly coming up to talk to ya incase i made myself look like a dickhead
sometimes id rather not bother
im all in it for the humour
but i dont use it much
its far too dark and sinister at times
sarcasm is fun i like to confuse people and get them hot and bothered ovewr nothing just to see thier reactions
but i never let a bad joke go too far

keep it real people

[Dollar_Girl]

those were my lips.




Someone once told me that if you look at photos of yourself, that makes you vain... i think that was a poor attitude because there is nothing wrong with a person being fascinated with their own being. Just like a woman comes to a stage in her life, when she looks at her vagina with a mirror... coz before then u only see other vaginas... her own is still a mystery. I also am fascinated with myself when i cry, i think it is the weirdest thing. I dont think that is vain, i think some people are just too afraid to look at themselves, because they aren ot confident enough in what they see. I am a third like that, the other third isn't afraid and the last third is just inbetween confused.

I dont think you should be afraid of being a dickhead, because in australia, women love dickheads - it is part of our culture. I wouldnt date anybody that wasn't part dickhead, because i'd get bored far too quickly. Sometimes it is the strangest things that women find sexy and attractive, perhaps even the parts of yourself that u wish were different. Someone will always love your imperfections, and i hope someone will one day appreciate mine.

[nicobie]

Good for u dollar Gurrl.

I'm glad to see u have a bit of judgement ability.

Right or wrong, we all need to call it as we see it.


I think harby is a weirdo and am glad :coward: he doesn't live near by.

nic

PS: I think mekamojo is almost ok too

i know sista, i know :D

lots o' lovies :eatout:

[Criminal_Sniper]

the thing i like about Dali is that when u tune out and stare at it all day the borders of reality are blurred
and figuring out if it is twisting reality or if it is that reality is just twisted and we look from an unrealistic point

[Criminal_Sniper]

im glad u liked it lol
theres always something deeper though
thats why i like to learn theres always something new and opinions change with that
iand i once though picaso was good before i discovered Dali

[Criminal_Sniper]

it was her avatar when i first got here
u missed it lmao?
u arent even a real forum stalker ;)

[Criminal_Sniper]

i like things that remove me from my world not remind me of it

[eclectica]

A colleague of mine at work had a tattoo done yesterday at this place called "Last Rites" in the Lower East side of Manhattan which specializes in that dark style of art which I find seductively beautiful. They have a website (http://darkimages.com/) requiring Macromedia Flash which is fun to maneuver around in. The tattoo was done by Liorcifer on his arm, of a skull with some smoke and clouds. It took about two hours to complete and he paid $150 per hour for the actual tattooing part. They refuse to do any "Christian", "good", or "Disney-like" tattoos.

I don't have any tattoos myself.

[Criminal_Sniper]

i plan to get something personal
not sur ewhat that could be yet
theres many thing i hold personally

[Dollar_Girl]

i dont haev any plans on getting any tattoos. I once thought i wanted a mango done on my bum, but now no longer wish for anything like that.



I find that i dont see many original tattoos, most people have something standard done like arm bands or eagles or something.

A man i knew who looked like woody allen mixed with dracula had "FUCK LOVE" written accross his knuckles with "FUCK" on one hand and "LOVE" on the other. It was an imperfect tattoo like stained blue words... it was interesting and fascinating. It looked like one of those tattoos written for a reason, and not just planned and imprinted to represent somethign random in life.
