Isn't it nice to see a little culture on the message board?

Re: sexual inuendo
He did have a taste for spry young lads, and lasses. But then it WAS renaissance Italy!
Re:Hard Drinking Yanks
Caravaggio had a massive drink problem as well as gambling debts and even ran one of his mates through with his sword after an argument during a game of tennis! Now why can't we see that at bloody Wimbledon?

Thats a Caravaggio yeah, but he's done better. Judith and Holofernes is cool, and one about Doubting Thomas poking his finger into Jesus's spear wound- if you see a black and white print it looks like a photo! Same goes for some of Velasquez stuff. Also check out Artemesia Gentilischi (that might not be spelled right) ill get some scans posted, but i've a heavy schedule tonight & tomorrow so it'll be thursday/friday. I've just sussed out how to post a picture up.

They all look better in real life. I remember seeing one of Rembrant's self portraits in Edinburgh, it was immense- a directly accross from it was a f@~King huge Velasquez- totally blew me away. I'd love to see Caravaggio's 'David with the head of Goliath'- apparently, Goliath's severed head is a self portrait. I was unimpressed by Raphael- dodgy foreshortening on a couple of his Madonna's. I thought i would like it, but it was crap!

Well, thats it then. 100% of people surveyed reconned Caravaggio was better. You an me both!

The question is...are you a Jackson Pollock man, or a Caravaggio man?

"Gee dad! That Rian Hughes is pish!"

Just don't slag of Rian Hughes...

Whoever fired Fleischer.

One less fascist bootboy to worry about!

Has to be Fairly-Hyper Man!

What about a free gift? A redsigned space spinner that can be fired from one of those Beyblade launchers!

I also noticed that no one jumped down my throat for slating Synamon- go on! You know you want to...

Ha! Ha! Wot? Nae opinions allowed aroond here? Honestly, some folk have got nae sense o' humour! 2000ad readers as well! Nice Rogue cover, by the way- but i still hate the style that Mr Hughes chose to depict the aforementioned strips, seeing as how i helped pay for them i feel it entitles me to comment.

OOOOOH! Tore a few scones did I?- like I care! It's all subjective, some like Jackson Pollock others Carravaggio.
