I Will Assign You An Artist - Page 2

I'm gonna go out of order, getting the ones that I know right away out of the way and filling in the blanks. I WILL be finishing this.

Kid Ego

Blunt: Claude Monet. Obvious, yeah, but it's still good.

Sammy Jankis

Burke

Micah

L7: Another one I don't quite know. But, as history has taught us, your name forms a square, and Burgoyne Diller liked sqaures and other geometric things, so it's like you two were seperated at birth.

Carroll

Singer

UGB

Logan

Katanga: Marcel Duchamp, Dadaist contemporary of Arp.

Kronos

R-Lu: The Brothers Eames, practical and stylish, well regarded in multiple fields.

Z-Man:

raoul duke: Carlo Carrà, influential Futurist who's politics shine through in most all his work. Particularly Funeral of the anarchist Galli.

Brian Ross: Oltos, ancient Greek sculptor/painter.

THE Waterlillies is in Houston right now. Its pretty spectacular.

No.

Let's be realistic here, folks: The odds are good I'm not going to ever finish this thre

See, this one is so hard because I'm trying to put thought into it, apply an artist to each person. But I don't know everyone well enough to do that, so I could just assign random artists, but that's no fun. So the experiment is a failure. And even the people I do know well, my recall in times of importance is shit, so I know there's somebody out there that'd match well but I can't remember them. So I spend like a half hour tracking them down. Now, more than ever, I need an AI program to do things for me.

I have a couple of threads I could start that I know I'd finish, if anybody wants me to go with one of those.

Problems with BD:

1. Not funny.
2. Really thinks he's funny.
3. Takes insignificant shit seriously.
4. Obnoxious for the sake of it.

To tie this into an art thread:

The most important thing about being an artist in the post-Avant Garde post-everything American art scene is caring in a not caring way. You do care, though. For some stupid or fucked up reason, my opinion in this stupid thread I didn't even finish matters to you. So much so that you threw a tantrum. A tantrum combined with your usual trying way too hard on things, combining to reveal what's been true all along: You're obnoxious. Obnoxious with a kind of petty adolescent twinge, no less.

You try to compare yourself to Warhol, but so what? You make oblique pop culture references and put color on stuff? Far be it for me to quote Fight Club, but sticking feathers up your butt doesn't make you a chicken. I could do the same shit you're doing but it doesn't make me anymore like Andy Warhol than you. Where's the revolution? Where's the social commentary on consumer? Where are the genuinely clever ideas? Where are the silver mylar baloons? Certainly not in your posts. You're the guy who spits in people's soup or puts a banana under his arm and shouts "LOOK HOW CLEVER AND WITTY AND INTELLIGENT I AM! LOVE ME! PAY ATTENTION TO ME!" at the top of your lungs.

And that shit's sad.

Too hard! I had too much stuff to do! If I did a thread that was "I will assign you the first thing I see in my room" then I'm pretty sure I could finish that.

"I Will Assign You A Product of Some Sort"
"I Will Assign You Something in the Fridge*"
"I will rate you based on how many letters your screen name has"
"I will abandon you"

*-Six people can apply for this one.
