Von as art......

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Art is anything that has completely no function apart from being hated, loved etc,etc.

...and to flip my 2p into the debate, i'm with Blast and others. that stuff is quite pleasing on the eye and all that but its not necessarily what i define as art. its a bit like those hippy pics of dolphins, innit?

previously art used to be about recording events/people before we had photography and film. now its used as a different function to reflect the artists' personal feelings, intense emotions that are often universal, or even current affairs.

don't really see that in the eldritch pic. having said that i like the non deep stuff too. have always wanted a massive pic of dr robotnik from the sonic adventures on my wall :P

I'm not sure if I'm going off topic or dragging this back onto topic. Speaking of EldoArt, anyone know why nice hair has come to a grinding halt. I really enjoyed that comic.

Nice Hair has updated a couple of times in the past few months (involving bald eldo :lol: ) but I guess the artist has just lost interest.

The artist just has a life, apparently! I've seen her on some art sites. :)

I wouldn't worry about it--the comic's progress has "halted" a few times since I started keeping track of it.
