Heheh, I draw and express myself as a hobbie and not as a dedicated artist as you know I'm a medical student so it has nothing to do with that heheh.

As defined:
"Art is a (product of) human activity, made with the intention of stimulating the human senses as well as the human mind and/or spirit; thus art is an action, an object, or a collection of actions and objects created with the intention of transmitting emotions and/or ideas. Beyond this description, there is no general agreed-upon definition of art, since defining the boundaries of "art" is subjective, but the impetus for art is often called human creativity."


Is a never ending discussion with goes on to the philosophical realm which leads to no absolute and clear answer.

As for which of my works I think is art, that is left to the viewer to decide which they consider. If they feel anything while looking at my work, be it happiness, sadness, grief, or just admiration. By definition then is art and I'm good with that. If they don't feel anything, bah, who am I to tell them is art lol :mrgreen:

Note: I can't deal with PM's unlike mods/admins who have more space, mines gets full quickly and this conversation would be so long that it will definitely require me to delete other messages hehehe. So AIM, come on... you know you want to :hehe:

Than you're a hobbiest, not an artist. :P

That theory is HEAVILY outdated. You really need to read recent papers on what art is. If human creativity is art, than where's the line between art and invention? It's thinkers like you who are downplaying visual arts, adn why it's being pulled out of school systems. You're thinking is VERY logical.

No artist will ever think this way. Please continue this conversation with me elsewhere. PLEASE stop replying to me here. I told you, we're getting off topic so I'd rather you move the conversation. >>sigh<< If PM isn't good for you, move to another thread, or else this one will be locked. If you want ME to move it, I will. End of story.

Spoiler — click to revealSorry for the mod tone. :hehe:

ON TOPIC: My sister had this one wallpaper with a blue elephant in the center and a white background. I don't remember who created it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I'm trying to find it on the net and can't. :pout:

Edit:
That's one of nicobou's famous 3d works.
He a French "illustrator" (will refrain from using the word artist...)
He mostly does animal related renders and whatnot.
I've used one of his older wallpapers which had a turtle ehehe, real cool looking, simplistic and stylish, just the way I like it.

@TaintedWisdom - This off topic for a sec but Your RE fanart is very good (I'm a big RE fan)

Back on topic about wallpapers - Yes I like your wallpapers very much :victory:
These ones you are posting by the French guy are SO cute, that elephant is adorable!!! Maybe I could save it on my dad's PC right now (I'm sure he'd appreciate it :mrgreen: )
- My Dad's current DTP (as in the PC i'm using at the sec) is real weird it's possibly the ocean at night? (I think)

Cool WP there :)
I bet it would look even better if you take the background/wallpaper and inverted/flip it horizontally so the character appears on the left side and the widgets don't block his face :)

Just a suggestions :mrgreen: (and there you go guys, didn't comment on icons eh :victory: )
