Kunk, curious as to what art period really inspires you or that you really like..

I like the baroque and the rococo period (i have a love for interior design) a lot, Bernini's architectural skills were breathtaking..

yes, we can do that.

Kunk, when I am in NY, let's have lunch so we can have "Who would win in a fight, Doctor Doom or Venom?"-type discussions.

maybe it was a fuck you to all my art history classes, but i have a very visceral approach to art — not a very intellectual one. i look more at individuals over periods.

like i said before, i love francis bacon. love goya after he started to lose it. far as more contemporary, love bruce nauman and edward keinholtz. cindy sherman. there are lots of artists i admire for technique, but those are the ones that spring to mind.

i love comic art too, but i look at it more as pop-art or in a graphic design type way-they're following the script.

Sure, sure--Doctor Doom is a scientific genius who develops technology for nefarious but practical ends and is at the same time one of Earth's most powerful sorcerors. I was just comparing two characters who were on the upper end of the power specturm for Earthbound characters.

But what about Doctor Doom vs. Mister Sinister? Now that's a fight....

i LOOOOOOOOVE Bernini (:

My favorite Bernini artpiece is definately the interior of the Cornaro Chapel which is accented by his breathtaking sculpture the Ecstasy of Saint Theresa.

I heavily favor 16th century european art! ! (but who doesnt?? (: (: (: )

One of my fav sculptures from bernini is the ecstasy of st Theresa.. Ridiculous

My dad is an architect and I don't know shit about it. Not ignorant, just uneducated. But architectural tours anywhere are fuckin ballin, no matter what.

EDIT: let me revise this - I am clued into architectural history, and while I know some things, I'd always like to learn more. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

hmm...doom and sinsister are both really fucking smart and have maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad resources, but doom leads an entire country and has a fucking time machine...sinister fucked up apocalypse, but doom has battled GODS.

doom takes it fo shoooooooooo.

I just saw a movie and these two dumb girls next to me talked through the entire thing. Like, repeating what just happened, pointing out obvious things and also saying funny lines directly after they were said. And what's worse is that couldn't work up enough of a sense of authority to tell them to stop...

basically, galactus>*

i remember before ervell started doing collections, he had a few print t-shirts. one had the ecstasy of st therese on it, and another one i saw had i think it was doryphoros.

Posted
living monolith? just kidding but kang would fuck them both up.

pssssh

for realz

galactus would just eat 'em

but he's a bitch.

i'd always go with Mr. Sinister. Or possibly Hodge.

galactus? ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh...i mean no doubt dude is huge and in charge of shit, but if we're getting into marvel cosmics territory there are FAR more powerful beings than galactus...

It's not worth it to climb the chain of power because then you get to Death, Eternity, The Living Tribunal, et al. It's always how the terrestrial superhumans stacked up against one another that interested me.

Like, for example, who the hell could the Trapster fight so that it would be interesting?

Posted

i forget all the names from when i was a kid, but wasn't there a marvel character who lived on some far off planet because he was too powerful? like his whispers would crumble mountains was the one quote i remember(from the back of the trading card i had of him)

True academic architecture is the biggest wasteful pissing contest there is on earth.

Most architecture is not this, thank god.

Well duh. What I'd love to know is how to be able to critique and analyze architecture, which comes with the academic part... I mean I could read plenty of my fathers books and study his drawings and go on site visits and listen in at meetings, but that makes me in no way, shape, or form, academically or professionally qualified to comment on any architecture.
