Pretty art

I know Jeff Beck, Styx, and The Mars Volta have used his paintings or adaptations thereof for album covers.

But yeah, the cover of Wish You Were Here kind of reminds me of some of his drawings.

I'm a fan of Christian Riese Lassen. He does like moonlit scenes of dolphins and ponies. lol. But I really love his stuff. I'm really not a FAN of art in general, I dont know a thing about it. But I do know this stuff is pretty.

I'm more of a Georgia O'keefe fan:

my favorite photographer is James vanderzee

I might get chewed out for this, but I really enjoy fantasy art, like dragons and fairies mainly because I used to be into the whole online RPG thing and I love fantasy. But only by a few really good artists. Nene Thomas has to be my favortie. The thumbnail is one of her works. Another would be Selena Fenech. I would put this stuff up in my house.

I'm not seeing too much artistic value there.

^Well isnt art subjective?

Sure... that's why I said 'I'm not seeing.'

Sorry, this is not Dali, this is George de Chirico's "Mystery and Melancholy of a Street"
