Re: Greetings!

Might I suggest that you do something productive with your time, such as spending time with this:

Honestly, I'd love to take up the offer, some quotes from the bible are very mystical and inspiring, but I don't own a copy of the KJV bible.




And also... violent imagery..? What drawing did I send that was violent? Genuinely confused here.

Dear Ditzy: I am sure that you do not own a copy of the , just as I am sure that you own almost any toy and electronic gadget that you can get your hands on. And since you are so good at using your new tablet thingy, you will find it to be most useful in studying an ONLINE version of , which I am most happy to provide for you here:

As for your comment about violent imagery, that "imagery" will, most assuredly, become a reality if you do not repent of your abominable sins!

Luke 13:3 "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."

Young one, if I were you, I would "get cracking" and search out that site that I've provided for your benefit. There is no excuse now! Repent and be saved! Turn, or burn!

In this case, I have some excellent news for you!

You don't have to own a physical copy of the Bible - you can read it online FOR FREE!!!

I felt violated by these images because there was no God's Message in them. Happy now?

Thank you, actually, it's not often you can find books (or anything) for free on the internet. A shame, as libraries are a dying breed...


But the 'violent imagery' I was referring to was some pieces of art I've made. And I'm 100% certain that none of them were violent in any way whatsoever. I'm just confused as to why they were removed...

Re: Greetings!

Comments are appreciated!!!

Okay, I'll comment. My children all know that if they say they are bored, they will be told they are not bored, they are boring.

Sister Isabella ("Mrs White" to you) has given you excellent advice. And as you evidently - some might say unfortunately - have an internet connection, you could use a search engine and look for an online version of the Bible (King James Version, 1611).

Sister Basilissa has provided you with a link, though I was not going to do that because finding it for yourself would have give you something useful to do. Proverbs 13:4: The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

That's a stretch and a half for a reason to remove the art, especially considering this isn't a thread specifically geared towards religious art, but rather my introductory, but I suppose that's a valid reason.
Also, there are ways of dealing with things that you're uncomfortable with other than getting rid of them outright.... it's quite rude as my art in of itself is a huge part of who I am.


Would that mean art such as this would count as appropriate for the forum?


<<<something really ugly that can hurt eyes removed by moderator>>>



This is an old rendition I did of an interpretation of the Whore of Babylon, Eve.

Art?! Miss Ditzy, please. Just because you call yourself an artist does not mean that you are, in fact, an artist. I'll be surprised if that obscene image that you call "Eve" will survive on this blessed site for more than two seconds. If it's true art that you're wishing to appreciate, then may I suggest that you study this, very carefully:

Sincerely, Isabella W.
Oh, and one more thing:

[Ditzy]

Re: Greetings!

CORRECTION, ACTUALLY--

The piece is merely called 'Whore of Babylon', although the subject is of Eve I suppose. I think it's TBOI fan art, but still religious.

Re: Greetings!

I suggest that you study this, very carefully:

I do quite enjoy medieval paintings such as this! Although I'm more of a fan of larger cathedral works like those made by Michaelangelo, I.E the Sistine Chapel and tinted glass windows. Overall though, from the time period, I much prefer art inspired by the infliction of Y. pestis on Europe. Big fan of those plague doctors!

Re: Greetings!

Wow, really? I'm guessing you've never heard of Project Gutenberg. It has merely sixty thousand free online books (and counting), so I guess it's not really worthy of your attention.

Also, there are ways of dealing with things that you're uncomfortable with other than getting rid of them outright.... it's quite rude as my art in of itself is a huge part of who I am.

Well, sweetie, if you consider that stuff as "art," then we can't really discuss its quality in terms that would be agreeable to both parties.

Would that mean art such as this would count as appropriate for the forum?

No. Please kindly spare our eyes from hurting again by refraining from posting anymore of your stuff.

Whatever tboi is, that image may be "fan" but it wasn't "art."

Now, that was a great word salad, which shows you have no idea about time periods, types of art prevalent in different time periods, nor artists representative for each time period.

Re: Greetings!

This is real art!

[Ditzy]

Re: Greetings!

You mention that types of art are prevalent in different time periods (quoted below), yet you fail to recognize my work as art in of itself. Are you not inherently contradicting your very own statement?
Either way, anything can be art. Neither you or I are the ones who decide what is or isn't art. Nobody does.

which shows you have no idea about time periods, types of art prevalent in different time periods

I'm not familiar with the piece that Ms. White sent, so forgive me if I didn't correctly guess the time period it was created in.
Other than that mistake, there's nothing in my sentence to signify that I don't know what I'm talking about... especially since the 13th, 14th, and 15th century are my favorite.

Well, Miss Ditzy, at least that's a start in a somewhat better direction, although I'm never happy to learn that people are spending time in those blasted Cathyolick cathedrals, as they are full of idolatry and false worship practices that will take you, most definitely, to the eternal fires of . However, if you can connect the dots regarding the love of , as depicted in stained glass, then perhaps there is hope for you after all. Now, then, since you're showing, perhaps, a slight bit of an improvement, might I ask how you are doing with the online study? It is there that you will find what you need to be saved.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Joel 2:32 "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call."

I'm guessing you are not familiar with the differentiation between "art" and "kitch."

I'm not familiar with the piece that Ms. White sent, so forgive me if I didn't correctly guess the time period it was created in.

You don't have to be familiar with a specific image to estimate its time period. Medieval art is very distinctively different from Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassical, and others.

Other than that mistake, there's nothing in my sentence to signify that I don't know what I'm talking about... especially since the 13th, 14th, and 15th century are my favorite.

OK, so here's a very short art history lesson for you:

I do quite enjoy medieval paintings such as this!

You easily can tell this image is not Medieval, as the subtle play of shadows was not a thing before the Renaissance. Medieval art is characterized by much sharper contours/contrasts. And funky perspective.

Although I'm more of a fan of larger cathedral works like those made by Michaelangelo, I.E the Sistine Chapel

That's not Medieval, that's Renaissance art.

and tinted glass windows.

Those have been done for a very long time, but they often don't last too long, so I bet that the ones you like are much later than you think.

Overall though, from the time period, I much prefer art inspired by the infliction of Y. pestis on Europe. Big fan of those plague doctors!

If by that you mean these beak-like masks, that's not Medieval either, it's much later, ca. 17th-18th century.

Except that Michelangelo (note spelling) did not work on the Sistine Chapel in any of those centuries. And that a tinted-glass window looks like this:





Whereas a stained-glass window looks like this:




The latter is from the 20th Century, if that helps?
