thanks for the post. It never even crossed my mind until now that people are brazen enough to steal such artifacts |

Sadly, around here they will nick anything that isn't bolted down and if they can't nick it they vandalise it :( Our Council spends a hell of a lot of £s putting up artistic sculptures and as quick as they put them up someone else will wreck them (just one of the many reasons I'd move away from the UK if I could). |

LOL @ the UPS story. You couldn't make it up could you? . . . Thanks (re: the Wood Carving Tools) < guess UPS is the same everywhere - where i live - they always leave packages on the front of the house - even when a signature's required (morons) - i have the main station on a perpetual 'will-call' - i get the packages myself from the station and sign for them there . . . better than losing something that's been left @ the front of the house . . . DOH! ![]() Science Status Page . . . |

I, myself find that really interesting. If you look at the pictures done by the apes and compare that one to the one you posted below that... It's very interesting... now what defines those as art ? What's the definition of art and what makes the 'human' art different from what an ape can do ? Especially considering those 'modern' arts of drawing pics... This is fascinating... ![]() Join BOINC United now! |

. . . Crunch3r - you do realize that work (below) is a 'messo relievo' - meaning it's dimensional - the body actually stands out from the work and it's also larger than life ;) ![]() > Thanks for the compliment - maybe the Museuam's will look more closely at my works and acquire some eh ;) Note: my work (above) has been Collected by the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.

my post was about the pic below. ![]() So what makes it so different from the 'ape art' if you take both as modern art ? Again what defines 'art' ? Just a personal view that it's 'art' now ? (if you do look at like davincis mona lisa wich we all agree is 'art'... so who defines what is 'art' and what's just some 'messing around with paint'...) ![]() Join BOINC United now! |
