Another “artist” who didn’t listen to his mother around the dinner table growing up… People producing works of art in baked bread. The masterpieces can’t possibly last long, but still I lol’d :-) Redefining “culinary art” yet again.

Internet memes and macros

Are these at all artistic? This is a topic that has been bugging me for some time. Some of these can make you laugh and cry. Although not wholly original, the combination of text and pictures can result in really clever images that catch on around various internet subcultures like wildfire. Some of my favorites are shown below. What do you think? ART???

Three million pound (currency) bronze sculpture sold for scrap…

…making a mere 1,500 at least according to the original ARTicle. You know, in the spirit of the blog, I can really SEE how someone could EASILY mistake the following Henry Moore “sculpture” for scrap metal:

Artonot #35: Urban Art? We’ll go with the Guardian on this one – keep it on the street!

It’s about time we looked at some graffiti at Artonot. What’s your opinion?

Again, a far cry from Rembrandt. The label “urban art” is merely a poor excuse for artistic incompetence. Graffiti artists should go find a real profession and do something they’re actually good at.

I still can’t figure out why the standards for artistic creation have dropped so much since the Renaissance. How curious.
