I came in here expecting at least a Michelangelo and a Rubens to vote for, maybe even a Titian or a Rembrandt, but I'm surprised to see that nobody chose any painters from before the 19th century.

I guess I'm old school. -Very- old school. :lol:

If I'd known it was going to swing so modern I would have gone with my other choice of Albrecht Durer. :)

Edward Hopper makes for a better avatar though, I think.
 
Van Gogh is the only traditional artist i have hanging in my house. the rest is Frazetta, J. Allen St. John and Jeff Jones.

Now that's a name that doesn't pop up very often, undeservedly so. What would you have chosen? I particularly like the intensity of his look in his Self Portrait at 28, for example. :)

His self portraits are amazing. I think my favourite of any of his works is Melancholia I, because there's just so much in it. But how would you pick an avatar of that? :lol:
 
Good grief. :rommie:

If I win, that means AstroSmurf has to do the next contest. :cool:
 
I did have an idea for a theme..."Your Favorite Political Hero" I other words...your favorite politician. Just a thought. ;)

I don't think they have avatar contests and if they did I wouldn't participate...I don't even have TNZ viewable. :devil:

That is beautiful. He was such a fine printmaker.
But you're right about the avatar. You'd have to just chop off most of it and concentrate on a single detail. And that would be such a waste. And what to choose? What to choose? :borg:
 
Well, I think we can call this one. Thanks for all the Votes, guys. Vincent is looking down and smiling from his psychedelic heaven. :)

If Owain or Spooky would like to take the next contest, that would be fine with me. Otherwise, I will come up with a new Theme in the next couple of days.
 
Oh! Amazing Discoveries! "Stuff You Saw In An Infomercial" :rommie:
 
^^ I saw Jenilee Harrison in an Infomercial once.

Favorite toys is a possibility.

Maybe...but it still seems like a Misc. topic...Wonder Mops! Magic Bullets! The Pocket Fisherman! :lol:
