That particular fractal had a photograph used to make the image. It may seem simple to some. I do UFO's also and outer worlds, as well as sci-fi and surealistic imagery.

My Turtle Road (The long and winding road) was sold for $400.00 Dollars and was a montage with real photos and graphic imagery.

I leave that image here for you. And some other art I created.
Turtle Road: The Long and Winding Road.


Some SCi-Fi iamgery I created. I made the space ship in KPT 5.





Another of my outer world series of nebulae.


A mushroom Visual


You gotta like this one called Mr. Mouse.


And finally another in my Biosphere series.



So there are a few examples.

And have a shroomy day

Questioning whether or not something is art, or if somebody is an artist, begs the question: What is art, and what does it mean to be an artist?

If art can be simply understood as the subjective expression of an individual within some medium, then anyone who expresses themselves within a medium may be deemed an artist.

Seems to me as if MJ is an artist. He may not be "the best" (but also not "the worst), and he may not have the style of a Renaissance artist, but there is still the expression of his character, and the transformation of thought to, in this case, graphic art. In a sense, he is immortalizing his thought that was used to create the art. Its actually pretty amazing stuff, seeing as how humans are the only beings we know of that intentionally create art and express themselves in such a manner.

Just because you don't like the flavour of the candy, doesn't mean that it is not candy. Similarly, just because you do not like some art-form, or if some art-form does not meet a standard of quality, does not mean that it is not art and that the individual who created it is not an artist. Its likes saying, "I don't like your personality. Therefore, I don't think you are a person."

YEs it is shit.

However, you might think it is shit, but people are paying for it.

Can you draw? I can't, but I can creat cool images and as I noted above. People pay good money for it.

Personally I think Picasso is shit. But people pay money for that.

have a shroomy day,

I think Picasso is shit, too. That just like nonsensical chaos. Though, I'm not educated in art history.

BTW, I like a lot of your work. Fractals are awesome. And some of those photo's you snapped are pretty badass, too.



Thats awesome!

Honestly there is so much symbolism in that painting it is mindblowing. If you just like your art to look 'pretty' like I guess fractals do for some reason to you, than have at it. Also the painting style is absurdly good in guernica.

I had a print of that chilling on my wall in my last apartment, I didn't think it was all that mind blowing.

Here is an image I created in Fraxplorer and in Gradient Designer and Planar-tyling in KPT3.



Then I put this iabove image into the KPT3 Meta Toys f/x plug-in and created this Aztecish mandala.



That is one method I use.

This next image is Mj Mind meld. This was a passport phot enlarged and placed into a hyper tyling program in KPTS 7.

Don't take things so literally.




Stop trying to be philosophical? What the hell does that mean? I am not trying[i/] to do or be anything, just typing words that are supposedly representative of my thought. If you don't mean "MJ shouldn't be an artist", and instead mean "MJ creates shit art", then say what you mean. Why beat around the bush?

What were actually expressed were opinions disguised as claims. When opinions are expressed there is usually a declaration of the subjective nature of the sentence (i.e. "I think...", "I believe...", or "In my opinion...").

I sense negative energy emanating from your presence.

Personally, I think that MJ's art is alright, but it not something I would pay for. It is fun, however, to see things that other people create. I like the space themed images, but I think that they could benefit from having more a spacey atmosphere (a starfield?).

One really does not have to be in your presence to sense your negative energy.

And I might mention that my art is so bad, A journalist in France provides for free, space at his website for more that 2000 of my graphic art designs.

http://www.releasethereality.com/mjart.html

Additionaly, From a man with split personalities whose majority of posts are about meth, downers, split personalities, poppy pods, all the drugs that are negative to shrooms also speaks in the 'we' person mentality of
someone who is bi-polar and most likly was sexually abused as a child. And still is a child.

And furthermore. You do nothing but cause descent here in this thread. If you do not like my art, and consider it as shit. Then why else do you open the thread. If you do not like it then don't look. PErsonhally I think it is me you do not like and take it out on the art. Must be jealous.

Children should be seen and not heard.
