Monkeys Fist

Aye buildings for me, mainly cathedrals. I think how the fuck did those fuckers with nee scaffolding etc ever build that. Just incredible be it Durham or notre dame. I actually like moody sea scapes a lot to be fair. Yup, this is very sad, but Ive often passed some of the old peoples bungalows in South shields perched right on the cliff edge with views out over the sea and think that would be a marvellous spot to retire. (Failing loads of cash and somewhere in the south of France of course). Love a good old Winter storm smashing into the light houses etc. (Seaham, but you get the drift) Aye looks like a real photo that at a first glance. Nice picture tainted by location though. If I had a few grand to commission a painting and justifiably afford it. I'd get someone good to go to Bamburgh. Go to the northern bit of the beach in relation to the castle and paint the crashing waves coming in with a grey sky and the castle on the right. One of my favourite places in the world. Any good for you? I think most of the stuff in The Baltic is garbage, but I absolutely love the building. Agreed. Remember the huge red effort they put up when they started doing the Baltic? Anish Kapoor - the scale of the thing was gobsmacking.

Can ye? I just think fuck this, I need a bacon sandwich. I remember being dragged round the national gallery by me sister and nana when I was about 10, and I resented being there, all I could think about was how the toon were getting on at Watford. There's an awful lot of pretentious bullshit in art. I think it's also how things are presented. To your average 10 year old, the National Gallery will be torture. Present the art in a way that engages people and a lot more "ordinary" folk will be in to it. Art is everywhere though, The Tyne Bridge, posters, record sleeves/ Cd covers. And no, I don't sit down to piss

With an impeccable taste in books I have to say! Has he bought one?

Hat deine Mutter nehmen sie in den hinteren?

Parky und Meenzer sind deine Männer And Isegrim is a countryman

Well, I can draw. My brother got the lions share of the artistic genes in our family, he's a graphic designer. I do love art though, me and Mrs. Fist will have a stroll down Armstrong Bridge now and again, although most of the stuff there is pish. I can stand in front of an image,sculpture or building and marvel at it for ages though , if it's something that catches me.

What kind of artist was your Mam Stevie? Genuine question btw.

The cup or Fish? :( I'll pitch, you hit.

The cup or Fish? :(

Surprised. I'd always had you down as a lover of Bacon

Aye

Fucking Hell, that's awful.did you know her well ? edit; just seen your post above, not that depressed then?

You could always get the examiner in a D'Arce Choke until he passes you

In nettys ???????

Bob Olley; and.......

that's a blow mate but don't let it get you down too much. i had a similar experience a few years back afte ri broke my shoulder the temptaion is to turn to comfort food but just try not to stick to a sensible diet as much as possible and you'll be back excercising again before you know it. so... this was a bad idea then? A few concerns with that pic Fish; 1] The sunglasses....did you pay real money for them? 2] Judging by the size of the mug and fork, that is a sliver of cake as opposed to a slice. One bite and its over, fork is surplus to requirements 3]As evidenced by the ironing board, there was a woman present when this was taken- and yet still your jizz stained sheets are strewn on the floor. have you no shame ,man?

Keep lurking Kevin, you might be inspired.

Arse? This from the Ninja Doctor. I despair

I love that era of advertising, and I would class them as art, without a doubt. Baixar Shep! (I know it's in Catalan, couldn't find Basque on my translate app)

If you come back with an Athena poster, you're banned. Edit; just seen your Simpsons Scream. Be gone foul Philistine!

Mrs. Fist asked me earlier, "If you could own one piece of art, purely for aesthetic reasons, what would it be?". Got me thinking, so I'm throwing it out to all the Brian Sewell's on here My initial choice was this; Doesn't have to be a painting btw.

Aye, but salaried and with regular office hours rather than freelance and a master of my own destiny. Although obviously head office doesn't know if I'm nicking off to have the odd catnap as long as I answer my e-mails and meet my deadlines. What do you do Meenz, if that's not too nebby Not in the least. German-English translator, mostly tedious financial stuff that nobody actually reads. Small world. My cousin does the same job, same languages. "Die Katze ist in den Schrank, mit dem Spiegelei und Bratkartoffeln", is about the limit of my Eric-speak. I'm determined to find myself in a situation where it's of some use before I die.

Eggs on pizzas are food sex, mind. I stick mine on near the end, so the yolks are still runny, then burst them and spread it over the pizza.
