Here's that one picture I was talking about that one day,
the "Life is happy and life is sad" one.

Interesting...
What... is... it?

I don't know exactly, I found it on the interweb last year,
and I'm not sure from where.

Drat. This looks like a mystery worth pursuing.

It was some Japanese oekaki site, I believe, though I
couldn't tell you which. I may have another picture by the artist though, I'll
check.

Well, I noticed the number 1862 in the URL, like the year:

yeah, I just think that it was picture 1862 out of a number
of others.

Seriously? Like, the number of pictures that the guy did?
Dude...

No, like of other people too, on an oekaki board, many
people post their drawings they do in the oekaki drawing program thing.

Oh.

And, I found the only other picture by him or her I have.

While not quite as technically detailed as the first piece,
this picture leaves a lot to think about. In fact, the longer one stares at
this painting, the more questions spring to mind: Who are these people? Where
does the window leave off and the painting begin? Why is the drawing so much
crappier than it could have been? Is it to emphasize the subject matter?

Maybe it wasn't meant to be a serious work? Oekaki boards
are usually a fun place to just doodle, I know because I used to draw on them a
ton, and that casuality can be seen in my old oekakis.

I prefer to think of the artist as being technically
brilliant and trying to make a point. If it wasn't intended to be a serious
composition, then the artist would have used much more bright, cheerful
colors.
Oh man, I've turned into one of those art critics that tell
you what the work means!
Re: That one Picture
From Persomem to POMegranate Nov 14, 2008 9:52 pm
Yeah, that can be bad. I know for a fact that most artists
aren't too serious.
Re: That one Picture
From POMegranate to Persomem Nov 14, 2008 9:53 pm
But then again, it does capture the spirit of imagination,
judging by the tilt of the artist in the work's head...
Re: That one Picture
From Persomem to POMegranate Nov 14, 2008 9:54 pm
I agree with that.
And I've got to be going as well, sorry about that.

Actually, no. I've always let any work speak for itself.
Whenever I'm in class, and the teacher calls on me to interpret a line of
poetry, I alway say, "How can you not get that? It means what it
says."
And I'm always paying attention, too, thank you very much.
So, no. I never interpret art.
Bye.
