t0nythelover Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 wow i cant believe i missed this thread. the scream is a painting in which the main character is horrified by a sexual self-realization so that makes me wonder about all you people who identify with that(just kidding) but seriously i work in the metropolitan museum of art and right now there is an exhibit on surrealism. its way trippy. they actually have alot of dali and magrittes work. you guys should go there tripping, its some real freaky shit. as for the painting i relate too it would be dali's faces of war or modigliani's reclining nude.

mutiny Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 hey glow, are you into art? just wondering. im an artist and im putting together a portfolio to apply for school of visual arts (sva). i also draw.inspired by fantasy creatures from seeing lord of the rings, i was bored during lunch yesterday because my laptop ran out of battery. so i drew one in my friend's notebook. i'm trying to put this one in 3dsmax or maya which is why i have height and weight or whatever.http://www.superghetto.com/gallery/crolis.jpg cloud from final fantasy 7 - this was way back in high school. i was bored out of my ass and drew cloud on my black book.http://www.superghetto.com/gallery/cloud.jpgi'll put up some of my paintings on this thread for those who cares.

tastyt Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 It depends on when you catch me. I'd say, either a Jackson Pollock... any will do... cuz they're just a big old fucking mess...Or if I'm actually in a good mood... Mondrian... Broadway BoogieWoogie.

fierydesire Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 I was thinking about this last night, about who my favorite artist is and what depicts me most...It has to be surrealism by Dali.

LavenderMenace Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 i really cant pick one. I'll limit myself to ones that i think really reflect the crap that goes on in my brain.
