    why is it that using obscure mediums makes any old crap 'art'? crap that otherwise, as art, wouldn't pass the smell test?


    he could've used bottle caps, or skittles, or any number of obscure colored pixel substitutes.


    the ONLY way that this could be at all impressive is if he did them by eye - NOT by copying bit-for-bit a color shifted image. i didn't RTFA after the link but i find it highly unlikely he did this without first devising the entire image digitally.

    Eh, I've decided that it doesn't matter how "douchey" it sounds to spew a lot of art speak on people to explain your work. If it makes the person happy, I say rock on....though art class can sometimes get a little out of hand with it.

    @Kaiser-Machead:


    when you say "If it makes the person happy" what is "it"? because it seems to me there are true artists who derive pleasure from creation itself, and then there are douche artists who derive pleasure from the recognition, popularity, and those little wallet cards that authorize them to speak like the demon spawn of Maya Angelou and Bonno (The ones that say "Certified Douche" and then "Douche Since: ")

    @nutbastard: Understood, but like everything else, it comes in degrees. One man's lofty goal can be another guy's brain-seering gobbledegook. It's annoying to sit there and listen to someone gratify him/herself going on and on about the deeper meaning of beige stripes against an eggshell canvas, but art is a fickle bitchgoddess, so I learn to sit back and let it slide.

    Hundreds of thousands of crayons? That first one uses fewer than 3,000.

    @Sora57: Picky, picky, picky - just because they exaggerated by some hundreds of times. Or, would that be millions of times, based on the Giz exaggeration scale?

    If I ate the crayons, I could be a crayon fartist and I'd wear canvas underwear as my medium.

    @AcceptingTheAward_GitEmSteveDa...: You are to be commended, good sir. What always gets me is that it's not actually a sailboat in the stereogram at which he's looking. It's just some random shapes... spheres, half spheres, beach balls, etc.


    Yes, I actually did the Magic Eye by looking at it on my TV. Don't tell me you haven't at least tried.

    @macserv: No, No I didn't. I have tried for literally hours to see "magic eyes", and have yet to see ANYTHING. So I didn't try, but did empathize w/William. Till I found out he WOULD see it, then I was pissed.


    @Farlin Paulino: Your honor, I present to you People's Exhibit #AAJ in the case against facbooking. An admission by a actual facebookee that a post would be a flame war if there were more facebookers.
