Two, this painting. Which really wouldn't be funny at all were it not for the fact that the guy that painted this is like the Thomas Kinkade of Mormons, and this will be in thousands of churches and LDS homes as soon as it gets mass produced. And every time I see it, I will laugh, like the immature cock happy child that I am.
Actually that's a lot better than Thomas Kinkade's later stuff. Kinkade's earlier work was a LOT more detail oriented and naturalistic. Before he turned into a pervert who painted houses burning in pastel colors. :D (There used to be a gallery of his up here, that closed after Kinkade had an issue with ...wandering hands, from what I remember....)That reminds me more of the binders and such I got in elementary school with the butterflies and unicorns and sea stuff with starscapes behind them. Laura something I think it was...
@Root He's does better paintings than Kinkade did, but he's just as popular among his niche, and he makes his money on reproductions. It wasn't the quality of the painting itself I found hilarious so much as the placement of things and the fact that it would be hanging in tons of churches and homes of conservative folks who would not understand why I'm laughing so hard about it.
@StefanJ I could see the milky way looking like that when there's zero light or air pollution, as it would've been two thousand years ago. Go to the right places today and it almost looks like that.
Am I allowed to post 'New Aesthetic-cy' things in WC without fear of attack-maggots? I know a lot of you probably think the concept of The NA is a bit wanky, but just take a minute to watch this:
"The video captures an episode of the popular TV show in the act of being shared by thousands of users on bittorent. The video simultaneously acts as a visualisation of bittorrent traffic and the practice of filesharing and is an aesthetically beautiful by product of the bittorrent process as the pieces of the original file are rearranged and reconfigured into a new transitory in-between state."
