In summary, Franzbear is the most prolific thread killer in the forum. He has killed at least 12 threads and is likely responsible for 21 more. His ability to kill threads is not a direct outcome of the evidence (number of last posts). You have to at least factor in the total number of posts by each person (posts in GD) to get a more accurate representation of the killer instinct. Franz and Moonie have so many posts here, they are more likely to be the winning killers. You have to divide the number of kills by the total number of posts during the same period to get a corrected distribution.

I was getting it from the movie. Actually the radio. A long time ago I heard that song on the radio in a far place.

The bottom piece (seen above) somehow made it's way to an exclusive art dealer in NY who assuming the piece was making a statement as a "non-actual abstract turtle", is offering it for sale for $15,900.
This happen to my non-actual abstract sculptures all the time. I sell them for $30, and see them for sale a year later in NY for $30,000. It's very irritating.

<gasp> I WANT IT! :!)

Actually it's not abstract at all, the other part of the sculpture, the lid (or shell) has been lost. The two pieces, made in Taiwan, were originally sold at Walmart for $5.95. The bottom piece (seen above) somehow made it's way to an exclusive art dealer in NY who assuming the piece was making a statement as a "non-actual abstract turtle", is offering it for sale for $15,900.
:rofl: Yes, there are a lot of people who think turtles look better without their shells.

BT is abstractly actual.

Actually, BicycleTree is a neo-representationalist.

Well, it's about time! :uhh:

For a long time I considered myself a schematic representionalist, but that's all changed.

I don't believe you've understood a word you've said.
 
  • #5,687
Indeed, I have come to eschew the philosophy that all of man's work is done to produce representation, that the great tragedies and heroisms of times past are only as important as the written history they produced, and that the end of all great science is in the transcription.

You're only pushing him further in the direction he's already pointed.

And who is this Bartholemew guy that is showing up as having posted in this thread. I don't see his post anywhere. Anyone else see the name Bartholemew?

It's agood thing you're practising the coinage of phrases like "schematic representationalist" because it will distract some people from the fact you can't draw.

I know I never do.

Well, I can draw pretty well, actually. Not as well as I could a few years ago but I do know how to draw.

My guess is he posted, then deleted and bolted. Pentimento.

It's the thread ghost. Not only is this thread alive, it has had it's own thread and now a ghost of a member that mysteriously vanished while trying to kill the thread. :bugeye:

I thought you said it was abstractly.

Sounds like your an actual, historical, abstract artists: "Well, I used to be able to draw".
 
  • #5,699
No, I can still draw actual stuff, pretty realistically.

Yeah, I thought I drew a lot better when I was 5 than I do now. :rofl: I was a very good abstract artist then. :tongue2:

I do prefer Paint though. The electronic medium is far more versatile.
 
  • #5,703
In fact, I would go so far as to say that there is no great reason besides tradition to use traditional means of painting.
 
  • #5,704
Right now I have a very beautiful image that I cooked up.
 
  • #5,705
Wonderful, really... it reminds me of evening and the pale yellow moon, but it was totally spontaneous. I didn't start it with a goal.
