or not, but I'm bored of typing LNT.

I'm browsing the internet looking for art, I want a new picture in my living room. Anyone know any good sites?

no.

thanks mate.

no problem dude.

Depends what sort of art you like I suppose...

yeah, pretty open to anything interesting.

feel free all to use this as LNT btw.

I'm drinking a chateau yaldara, is rather tasty, as was the stilton i had with it.

Browse posters and photos on eBay then get it framed. I did that and was quite pleased with the result, although custom framing does sting a bit after spending a fiver on a poster or photo.

I've been through 60 of 95 pages of eBay contemporary art. most of it is shite.

this is cheesey but i love it:

Oh no, i don't mean contemporary art, most of that is done by people making a quick buck by selling purely to Landanas who talk a good game.

Probably different for me, but i get off on architecture, so i bought city scapes, skylines and stuff and that. Got some old early 1900's photos of London, Paris and Vienna as well. They're pretty badass and only cost about £5 or something. Oh, and i got a panoramic photo of some graffiti  in some industrial estate in Paris. That, i like to imagine, was just taken by some "random" bohemian type, who sold his photos and you could even pick your size. I've got a small one.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but there are some nice bits and pieces here (http://www.suck.uk.com/)

you're right, most of it is digital prints and shit with it, but some of it looked good, even if it was a bit cheesey. I'm not proud.

can't find any wall-mountable stuff there apart from mirrors.

I think this one of Sydney is pretty cool...

loads of stuff on there, takes ages finding what you want tho.

Good lord that's acid on canvas.   :D

just not my kinda thing.

I quite like that Sam, it appeals to my homosexual-esq, flowery shirt wearing edge.

Modern arty stuff is harder than it looks. Well sort of. I managed to come up with this in 2 minutes.

I was going for the black on white contrast with both forming seperate images.

Actually that's bollocks, I just drew shapes. Like dancing but on a digital canvas. I think my ability in either medium is fairly similar.

It looks a bit like a flag gone wrong.

I'd buy it.

In another life.

If I keep trying I'll create something ace. Like monkeys with typewriters or something.

have you got an infinite amount of monkeys and typewriters?

surely nowadays they'd have laptops?

I'd love giant poster of the James Bond gun barrell sequence.....would look ace!

I'm not sure about infinite monkeys but I've got lots of free time.

Well if it takes 42,162,500,000 billion billion years to get a 19 character sequence from The Two Gentlemen of Verona, I'm sure it'll only take Ben a couple of billion years to come up with a masterpiece.

yes, but the monkeys didn't have paintpro.

Paint Pro?

or gif editor or summat.

and whats the whole paper plane apartheid about?

starship troopers is on tv, ace film.

Fuck knows. IF you want to write it you can have rights to the screenplay.

I'm watching it too. I've never seen it.

:shock:

treat. in for. you are.

I doubt I'll give it my full attention. Wasshername looks a bit like a cartoon character with a big face. She's still get some though.

it's great, give it a go.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/dazzza/bunchofarse.jpg

I made you this.  It's smashing I think.

That's ace. There's so many stories going on. The sun looks like a special school kid who's just been caught smearing their faeces over a younger sibling.

is that me in the middle?

Not intentionally it can be if you want though.

It just of vomited all out in paint.

It's very nice, I might print it and get it framed.

Denise Richards was so hot back then, 10 years ago she did The World Is Not Enough.

She seems to have aged about 20 years in the last 10 years  :|

yeeeaaaahhhhh.

it's no wild things though.

Sorry. I found my paint folder and couldn't resist.

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d35/flammableben/comic13finished.jpg

:D Is that a new one Ben?

Yeah.

I miss nozza. He used to chat to me on msn and make me draw comics. Some of them are pretty bad.

I miss my Top Hat

i've discovered blues and american folk.

hell yeah

I fancy a cheeseburger.

I'm going to bed.

You want to get yourself a Lucian Freud  axs.   Set you back about 17.5 mill, mind.  Still better value than half a Shevchenko.

  Its my sincere belief that every man should hit on at least  one like this.

The woman who posed for that was on This Morning a couple of weeks ago. I've been watching too much daytime tv.

I haven't but I have been reading far too much red-top crap. Which is how I know she apparently got all arsey after the show about one of the This Morning hosts calling her "Fat Sue". I mean, come on, unless that painting's using some pretty massive artistic license, there does come a time when you just have to face facts

it doesn't go with my decor.

Why were fat women considered beautiful and now it's gone full circle and skinny women are considered beautiful?

My thought of the day.

It's what's considered different and special. Back when in the olden type days, when people didn't have all they can eat buffets, only the rich could have afforded to be a bit on the porky side. Whilst your average working peasant girl would have been skinnier than a rake.

It's the same with sun tans. Pale girls used to be considered attractive because a tan showed that you'd probably been working outside all day, maybe on the fields. That be peasant work. Lazy peasants

Something like that anyway. There's a good chance that's some bollocks someone told me in a pub.

Moyles' has been ripping the piss for ages.

"Thats not my name"

yeah with the ting tings track

I saw a fat girls minnie in Buds on Saturday night - it really wasnt pleasent - In fact its scarred me for life

Why did she have no knickers on???  :twisted:

 Where's Buds?

JFW only likes the skinny minnie

Which is still the case in this part of the world.

   Probably had a thong which got lost in the folds.  Some thongs seem so small might as well not bother.

Got one in Chippenham and one in Melksham, either way a night out in either of those establishment is generally conducive to seeing waves of minging slappers out on the pull. Which to be honest is not to be sniffed at  8)

   Indeed not.....although sniffing might be good.

More importantly, why were you in Buds?!   :?  :)

ummmmm - It wasnt my fault I was in Buds  :oops:

 How bad is this place?  I'm guessing the Melksham version maybe more down market than the Chippenham variety.

more importantly did you get a picture of said minnie?

NO!!!!  :o

Yeah its in Nam Reg - Buds in Melksham isnt a nightclub any more I dont think? (Dave??)  - I heard they lost there licence as someone got raped there? its just a bar now  

Buds in Nam is just a kind of last resort place but I was with good company so it wasnt too bad - I always feel ultra classy in there actually!

  If you want to feel classy then get along to Angelo's.

  http://www.gazetteandherald.co.uk/mostpopular.var.2100743.mostviewed.angelos_hearing_hears_of_violence_underage_drinkers.php

wow maybe next week

It's not open anymore

booooo Reg got my hopes up

   :sorry:

   Looks like you'll have to stick to Buds.

hmmmmm once in a blue moon is plenty for me

although some of the people I work with tend to get a nose bleed if they go out of Nam!  :-))(

 What eventually happened to Gold Diggers ?

Its now old peoples flats  :cry:

I miss diggers and pervy Carlos with his cocktail bar

the foam parties there were the best

and the rave nights on a Friday - we used to get in when we were about 14 - tell you mum you were staying at your friends and vice versa-  wear a shirt skirt and a bit of Rimmell Coffee shimmer lipstick and you were in!!

ahhh they were the days!  :soapy tit wank:

  Shame....for a place the size of Chippenham, it attracted some decent acts,

  You can put old people's flats just about anywhere

   Young girls getting into clubs is wrong....bet Mex doesn't allow it  :--
