Anyone into art?

I don't mean the kind you find in Playboy, but real art. Paintings, prints etc. I'm looking for some stuff for the house and I'm wondering where to get it and buy frames and such.

Personally I like Dali and Escher. Very surreal and different. Not the traditional type landscape or boring stuff.

I do artistic nude modeling for a painter named Ted Miller. If you want something I can get you something custom made... Or you could just buy one of mine... but that will run you 4-6 hundred

Been painting since in grade school but recently stopped. I cannot help you in the framing department but framing is a very important aspect in the overall presentation, and sometimes, it can get quite expensive - worksmanship, material... etc

As for art masters, I like Picasso - The Abstract Expressionism. Paul Cezanne also gets my vote. Vincent van Gogh is another master which I am very fond of.

I like bold use of colours, with definite strokes and I focus on the use of palette knief skills.

If you smoke enough, you will become a master.

Or a broke a$$, jobless bum.

Salvador Dali is awesome, i love his work. Huh, its funny, i never thought that i would use any of the art history that i learned in university, hell i haven't used anything i learned in school....i don't even work in my field.

If you wanna buy art online go here:

most of the time. Some art I see I would never consider to be by a "talented" person....maybe "challenged"
