I think we all know someone who can spare some balls, that’s IF you need some balls to post your “body art masterpiece”! Lol… What do you think @Felton10?
@Lynnerizer Have at it; you can have exclusive access to them, as far as I am concerned.
I do recommend you have him sterilize them first by boiling them and then dousing liberally with alcohol.
When Art make me remember good times, move me with a message, or makes me think, Art is good. When Art bores me, make me cringe, or invokes hate, Art is bad.
@hchavers But I learned an important thing in college classes about art and art history: art is intended to invoke a feeling or emotion or thought in the viewer. It does not necessarily need to be a “good” feeling. If it makes you cringe or invokes hate, it might still be art. Perhaps that was intention of the artist, and the intent was realized in that it affected you.
Art represents a communication between the artist and viewer. But that mechanism is not (and cannot be) clearly-defined. and also may change over time and when viewed in context of different cultures, religions, and the geopolitical world of the viewer at the time.
@hchavers@pmarin My favorite quote from Marcel Duchamp is something along the lines of: Bad art is still art, just as a bad emotion is still an emotion. [Of course, bad art is still bad, as well.]

Apparently it’s true what my daughter in law discovered after having a son… Boys ALWAYS think farts are funny! It’s definitely GOT TO BE a male thing!!

@Felton10 Obviously he never heard of “crop dusting”. When you’re on a bus, you walk up the isle slowly releasing…you then turn around and as you walk back, you make a funny face and sniff and then look accusingly at a couple of people. In any case you walk quickly and “spread” the joy, hoping that it disperses. (This doesn’t work well in an elevator.)
This is kind of cool - they are planning to use DNA to verify da Vinci art. They have traced his family for 21 generations. I was surprised at how few living relatives he has now though, that many generations down the line and only 5 family branches considering how many generations and years it has been. He had no kids by the way so the common ancestor to all these folks is his father. He had 22 half brothers and sisters. His dad was a busy man. LOL
let’s see what google thinks

/image great art
@awk
/image really bad art
@awk hmm not much difference between #1 and #2. Image fail (grin).
Why is Art so popular?? What’s wrong with Ralph or Fred?? And it’s so sexist. What about Denice or Mary or Susan??
We dated for a few days in HS but I wasn’t really into him. We’re still friends though.
“Post some good art in the comments, please”
Only if I get a promise that the body art masterpieces I’d post wouldn’t be taken down.
@phendrick you have to post it for it to be taken down
@phendrick

@Lynnerizer @phendrick I have all the balls anyone could need for anything so just tell me what you need or want?
@Lynnerizer Have at it; you can have exclusive access to them, as far as I am concerned.

@Lynnerizer @phendrick Wait - dousing his balls with liberally alcohol or dousing herself so she can stand looking at them?
@Kidsandliz @Lynnerizer @phendrick This conversation is getting too strange even for here…
@Kidsandliz @phendrick @pmarin
I agree!!
@Lynnerizer @phendrick @pmarin Yeah well warped sense of humor can do that sometimes… sorry.

A big, loud, juicy one!! Oh, you said Art…so sorry. My hearing aids always make everything have that phhttt sound.

@eeterrific @Lynnerizer Butt they are funny. Unless they include a surprise delivery that is.
My favourite is when you can get someone in the other stall to laugh when you fart.

@Lynnerizer You realize that you’re truly old when you can’t trust a fart.
@eeterrific
Or when you can’t trust that one won’t sneak out when you’re simply trying to stand up from a chair!
Since the notion of “good art” is subjective, I think my own art is good…

Not my idea of good art, but I guess someone values it highly.
