I bet I'm smarter than you/I went to a better school than you/have better degrees than you.

Poon has had a very prolific education.

This has been a very prolific winter.

I was tremendously prolific today.

if art really is just a form of visual comminication... we have the sender, the message, the receiver, and feedback. so i would have to agree that art does not end at the artists intentions.

I think this answers the original thing I was making fun of. An illustrator has no intentions. What ever company they work for has an intention, the dude drawing isn't trying to communicate a damn thing. And if the person looking at it gleans some connection from it, that hasn't got anything to do with the person who illustrated the thing.

I don't think a piece of art's definition/meaning/worthiness ends with the creator, though. If the illustrator finishes a project, and hates it, but someone looks at it, and forms some sort of connection to it, then it's a piece of art.

 

To me, at least.

I'm studying graphic design. The entire field is based on a designer doing exactly what the client wants, which could be illustrating a bug for a textbook. And that does not take away from it's artistic value. All designers are artists, but not vice versa. Textbook bug illustrator is certainly an artist.

 

I view the "art?" argument simply: if any one person views something as art, then it is. 'Nuff said.

I'd rather just say "prolific" alot, but the quoted post is bullshit. Illustrating ain't art and illustrators ain't artists.

"Art" is a very prolific word.

The First Amendment is the most prolific amendment.

Are yous dense?! Less than you think prolificates! It's tremendous prolifications are matched by no other mother fucking Wilco song! Jesus Christ!

Less Than You Think is the fucking answer.

I thought Robert Pollard died in 1997. Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

Deadwood

The Wire

Northern Exposure

Monty Python's Flying Circus

Seinfeld

The West Wing

M*A*S*H (first 3 seasons)

Twin Peaks

The Office

(Good Times)

Yeah, Poon's right on this one. Sorry.

No matter all the other crap that will be talked about, because they won't talk about the music, "Off the Wall" was/is a great, great record.

That is effing brilliant!

Thanks for that. Are those your italics at the end there or was it in the article that way?

The new Eels is pretty great.

So how was the trip?

You can stream the new album here Just be sure to pause the music player or you'll get really confused.

That kind of shameless support is the reason I both love and hate sports radio. 5 games would be a miracle, I think. Maybe 7 but Pittsburgh looks hungry. Selfishly I hope the Wings win because the parties don't end with as much swearing and fewer girls end up crying. There's still the same number of cops, but they seem friendlier while giving you the noise complaint.

Two things I've noticed: The "Add Reply" button keeps disappearing when I roll over it. And I can't seem to view any profiles (or my own for that matter).

I think it'll be tons of fun. Its always fun around here when a Detroit team gets so far. (Which is why February sucks around here). Sports radio here has a consensus of Detroit in 5. We'll see.

Isn't this the first rematch since '83-'84? That's pretty cool. Pittsburgh has gotta be just frothing at the mouth for it. And Crosby gets to leave Lemieux's house for a couple of days.

WINGS!

I never really saw Nels as a replacement for Jim. That's an interesting take. I guess I saw Jim as a consultant. Like a not-so-fatherly George Martin. A facilitator of ideas. Pat's a rock star.
