LOL, I thought nihilistic responces were my department!.. There is more to good graphic design than Nothing. And what is good in one demographic may not be true in another. The rasta graphic looks real amateur and lame, but that's how bad the real stuff is, and so it works.. but its not fine art; and not meant to be. It belongs in a beach shack outside Port Royale with the lambsbread rollers. The B/W is straight hard editorial style, the picture looks like it could be a punk rock album art or a poster against kiddy porn.

What one needs for "good graphics" is an understanding of the psychology of the target audience. This stuff may look like crap to me, but to the general public it may be a beautiful representation of an effort to attain design and graphic perfection.

.. gag! did I say that?
...on second thoughts, francis9731 may have said it best with that details list.. ...

...LOLOL.. right..
Did I forget to mention: Don't trust anyone with a prophet-sounding name..like Muhammad

"Peace be with you" ... What's that? A sarcastic remark? Hmmm. Smacks of John Birch and the Commitee on Foreign Relations conspiracy. You may be partially right, but speaking as a Hapsburg and a member of The Conspiracy by birth, I don't think They control who wins and looses. That would give Them unreal/un-natural control, and that's impossible and therefore un-secular and skirting with magick, faith, religion and hocus pocus non-sense. However, I'm certain that They make sure They win, no matter who looses. You see the diference? Perhaps it is worse than you thought! Oh My! Boo! The "truth" may set you free, but the FACTS will enslave you forever. Do what thou wilt... We see you from up here near at the apex.

these aren't stars... they are celebrities. I was hoping to see some neutron and super giants. Nothing here but boring pics of overpaid people.

I've read ssoooo much whining bout this in every forum that I don't even bother trying to do a regular upload and just upload to a private file and then switch it over to the public one... I assume there will be a whole new eSnips download upgrade before it is fixed.. if ...

The answer to all three is the same: Nothing

I expicitly deny that this is indubitably True for ANYone else.

...That's a typical absudist explaination. One cannot use something to explain or justify itself. Duh! You can't prove the Bable or any book by quoting from it in parrot fashion. I counter with, "I hears ya but I sez Ya cain't see th'forest fer th'trees thar bubba."

Historical, archeological and geological FACT and the secular answer is aways rejected by those homo-sapiens with religious DNA in their makup..."believers" of whatever god in whatever era. The rationale of absurdism is parodoxical and can ONLY be answered in absurdist terms, defeating the rationale. The question itself is a no win and leads to ... muhuhaaaha... conflict at ALL levels; the one common thread throughout the phenomenon (all religions). Perhaps a better question will evoke a better responce than: "speaking in Aramaic parables, wanna cracker, aggggh sqawak!".. I Ask:

"If one is gonna have a God, why do christians AND muslims pick, or are born under the political dominion of one that is sooo under-achieving, coniving, hatefull, unforgiving, stupid, ... and JEWISH!!!!!!!!! and reject Judiasm as "old school"... cuz some dude(s) more than 1000 years ago said no and started his own chip off the old block?!? -- along with its "We are the chosen People, and everyone else is going to Hell" mantra. Heck, if there is a lesson to learn from all three testements its: Don't believe in such nonsense.

.... and what a puny "god" and its various "individual" religions... Historically its a slave cult if you believe in REALITY. Got most of its dogma/myth from the Sumarian Eneuma Elish which predates the earliest Hebrew.. anything, Flood Legend and all, FACT, period. Ya gotta eat the whole enchalada: seven day creation, woman made from rib bone, 385+ year old andiluvians, talking snakes, virgin birth, raising dead, walking on water, reserection, miracles, magic, curses, angles, devils, eternal damnation from an all forgiving entity...666 (oohh scary stuff!) not to mention so-called "leaders" of whatever calibre .. I mean COME ON.. Its way to goofy for smart people to even consider.

Its merely psyco-scociological crowd control... for sheep. Not a Napoleon or Satre, or Jesus for that matter, among them... LOL

consider:
NOTHING is greater than God, FACT!
Nothing existed before God. FACT!
The space that God occupies does NOT exist, OR, DOES exist in a Negative way as percieved by our rationale. If I need something to worship, I worship (that) Nothing made manifest. That emptyness, that oblivion, that space between the stars, between the nucleus and the electrons in Saturn-like orbit. And the void between you and I, and between My Reason and Our Mutual Reality, and the Oblivion (talked about in Genesis actually) that pre-exhisted eveything to which I shall return to.. as will you all.

That value alotted to the numeral ZERO, that islam gave to the world and created the very digital switches in this computer as well as the Al-Jebraic mess we have now. The word No in arabic is La. al - LA, actually translates as: The NO. The petultimate blasphemy. al LA akbar boom. worse..0=feminine to 1=masculine Proof their god is a woman! The No is One =al LA achad. Stick that in your hookah.

The history of this planet and its factual scientific geology of extremes of mostly molten or totally frozen, and the cosmic fact that the Sun will eventually trun Red Giant and expand beyond the orbit of Venus, confirm the Human Nada in Oblivio Secular Seculorum.... unless we colonize the stars... like a plague.. and there's no proof that we have been planet hopping up to now since the beginning of time, so its unlikely, and our Ultimate Reality Bites.. LOL and don't mean squat. ...and without god and morals, we are left with Personel Ethics and Personel Responsibility..

voila!...Poof a new religion.
Our/THE Laws state that anyone who reads this RANT is ipso facto a member of the Catholic Nihilist Atheist Scientists' Church-type-thingy. Proof of this membership is Denial.
There is only one Saint and his name is Murphy. Now go and pray to whatever god you want, since you are "one of us Now and Forever" and Our LAWS say you gotta go believe somewhere else and not mess up the HOLEy Void with your membership... Have a great day... or Not!

Thank you Ian.... YSP..lol.

What's the latest? Its been almost a year since I was asked if my art could be used... I sure would like a copy or 2 if this comes to fruit.

Jezebel??? wife of Ahab.. a female control freak... a jezebel indeed.

LOL... well then Ian, just your opinion is sexist LOLOL.. not you of course..LOL... what's the keyboard equivalent of foot in mouth?

As for my friend Prasad's digital paintings.. I am assuming that painting was refering to NON CGI (computer generated imagery) so I excluded digital graphic art... there are so many places for that already. I can appreciate why those/we elitist painters would want something exclusive to hand crafted object d'art. The only thing that resembles "painting" in MSPaint is the marketing of the interface: and the name.. some buttons with brush pictures and names... all virtual. Not Handi-craft. Even so, MSPaint is more handicrafted than lets say, IceRain's fractals. They are beautiful, but nothing more than a mouse click and hot software (I don't think she's programming Mandelbrot's formula into machine code... not that I'm sexist for using the word she.. well, I am actually, but my stated opinions usually aren't LOL)

Both Prasad and IceRain present ORIGINAL art and presentation/editing skills to whatever degree... but I don't think its Painting.

As for Graphic Design, even Painting is graphic design IF its something more than the monochrome side of a barn or a fence. Nasty ugly graffitti is painting, but white on picket is not. If we exclude the white paint on the fence from painting, it would be tough to include Prasad's eye candy.

Obvious point: ALL paintings etc HERE are also photographs...or video.

PS/EDIT: And lest I seem not to find merit, let me say for IceRain: she is an excellent editor and only bothers to put up ORIGINAL quality stuff that's easy on the eye, and that reflects on her quality as an artist/critic and self esteem. (...all artists have opinions that are always interpreted as critique, and see symbols in all they hear and see...taste..etc. its the nature of the craft.) The collection is fun to look at and read Wikipedia on the Mandelbrot Set at the same time... "How far into the valley is this seahorse..Sweet Julia!" and other such absurdist mathamatics.... I hear Newton groan.

Actually Karen, I think adobe stinks.. silly having to create a new language.. stroke instead of outline... and adobe acts like a virus and frankly.. anything anybody can do with adobe, I can do in corel. And their marketing.. stinks too. Adobe takes two hands to use.. corel just one... zoom in and out w/left right mouse..etc. I only use adobe to make web galleries, nothing else.... eh, OK, I like the "healing" brush.. but that's it.

Tattoo is graphic design
but is it also Painting...?
It is pigment in/on parchment in the finest tradition.
Example: http://www.esnips.com/doc/227f2d30-ea2c-4ae4-b155-8af7104e23aa/Egyptian-God-Tattoo-Timeline

Scrimshaw, same question:
Engraving on ivory using pigment to highlight the etching.
Are lithographs, etchings and engravings home here?
Example: http://www.esnips.com/doc/9bac2337-eac9-44a4-940c-d5db6a4ba082/Battle-of-Trafalgar-by-Tiger-Leahu

I see lots of pastels and pencil work.

Is well applied facial makeup painting?
..its certainly art without being too dada or absurdist, but in danger of going there ... then again there are Clowns... whose faces are trademarked commercially...

I assume Painting does NOT include digital CGI, but rather something crafted by hand.. something more than a mouse click and a download. And it IS something more than flat canvas and pigment.
