Haha, had to check if I took that pic, turns out I took this one instead. Enjoy Hong Kong/Macau?

Is the lad who took this one still around?
I've had it as my desktop ever since*, I was hoping you'd remind me where and when it was taken.

*I changed it a few times but always changed it back, it just felt wrong without it.

shot on 35mm with a Canon A-1.

Fortune favours the bold! Good for you mate. The real hardware is always nicer than emulator, in my opinion anyway.

>>3134
I trust they paid for it, then.

>>3514
I needed a mac for the course and they offered a large discount.

Not exactly great art, but the cover appeals to me.

Loving the Roger Dean video game art.

>>555
Do you have a name for this? I would really love a higher res version to use as wallpaper.

Seconded, Syd Mead's work is fantastic.

>>561
Ah, it may not actually be by Mead. I got it from here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kielbryant/2251508135/in/set-72157603903308389/
I think it might be Star Wars concept art for Coruscant by Doug Chiang. I think the guy put it in his Syd Mead set to make the point that it is heavily influenced by Syd Mead.
If it's Star Wars there must be higher res versions out there. I'm not on my own computer atm so i'll leave you guys to search for better versions.

>>565
you might get a high quality version of >>555 in scans of the Art Of Star Wars books such as those found in http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1616789/6976998/

Thanks for this

Try looking for some guidebooks to the Louvre, they've a shitload of renaissance art.

That's very interesting. Especially considering how tattoos are thought of in Japan.

Well, wasn't that exciting. Hoped it'd be more like photos in OP, something a little interesting visually, Instead I was treated to two rooms with a couple of silk hangings , which were pretty nice on their own but also quite cliche due to resembling all that manga/jap tattoo/stuff you'd draw on your pencil case vibe. Highlights, an abstract zen piece shoved above a fireplace and a little porcelain figure of a volumptious, heavily tattooed woman, bound up with a big grin on her face.
Also Somerset House has the greatest bogs in all London.

Also went to the Royal Academy to see a Hawksmoor exhibition, which again is tiny, just a little space on a ramp, mostly anecdotes and quotes from famous figures about his architecture, some paintings, photos, maps, plans. Nothing to write home about, so I've written about it here.

Would you care to enlighten me?

It's a sort of cultural taboo. They're frowned upon at best, and generally associated with the Yakuza. It makes the "embrace of the modern western world" a lot more tangible.

>>3953
Those who do practice the traditional forms of tattooing tend to keep it behind closed doors, and it tends to be aged, highly-regarded "masters" of the hand-poking technique that do it. The style and method are different and distinct, and regarded differently (eg. with a lot more of a spiritual aspect to the process) to the Western style of tattooing. This article covers the fluctuations in cultural opinion of tattooing in Japan pretty well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irezumi

This is my favourite portion of The Triumph of Death, I've tried digging up more information on Death as a being but I've had little luck on the internet. The whole fucking net is swamped with fucking deviant art drawings by 14 year old kids.

You need to check out Bosch. His stuff is often really surreal but it's very close to that first image you posted.

John Martin you've already got, but just fyi, there's an exhibition at the Tate running until 15th Jan of his stuff. I've not gone but my dad said it was breathtaking, and that you just can't get any real feel for these kinds of works until you see them towering over you.

>>3045

Fucksake, I should check this board more often, I missed that and the Tate is real close to me.

Bugger.

Moaning out the way, thanks for the recommendation.
