Lovely

Marilyn does have some great concepts with his art work and also some very distasteful work as well.

I like the following one the most, but IMO it is not worth the $10,000.00 price tag as listed.

that second one is very nice that first one is frightening

This was always my favorite:

I'm wondering if he's into Marlene Dumas, cuz his work is very similar to hers...

Michael Jackson - self portrait (2003)

he's very interesting.. musically and art paintings

It's not all bad, some of it is quite decent in fact. I should know, the government lets me be an art student.

I see an influence of Francis Bacon in his paints
































but what do I know about painting?

His stuff kinda reminds me of Dali in a way. Kinda dark and surreal...

You know who else paints (and actually his paintings were cool if you like that whole dark trip) is Jack Kevorkian.

What's funny is that he uses very cheap water colors.

Yah I see an influence of crap, maybe I just have a negative opinion of him to begin with. Its not horrible I have seen much worse. I just have no care to see any more 'Art' composed of drug induced why is me and I have evil feelings too crap because I am an artist!!

Don't be hatin'.

His paintings are shite!! And whoever said they were similar to Dali is an ASS!!! To the ORGer who compared them to Bacon, closer than Dali, but still quite far off. Bacon is way more mutated and grotesque than those shite paintings. They are like the Mona Lisa compared to 3 Figures At The Base of a Crucifix.

If that is your critique of his work, you get an F

I have an MFA, and I have seen better work from highschool students.

Well either way, he's sold many of his original prints for thousands.

Jesse Helms knows Art? Robert Mapplethorpe was a homo and took photographs of sadomasochistic Men with big dicks, and looks nothing like Marilyn Manson's work! He also produced beautiful erotic photographs of flowers Hmm looks like bunny rabbits with stimata to me!

I wonder why? Because he is a Rock Star hmmm

LemonPiE said:

Yeah, but so what? He enjoys painting and a lot of people like what he paints.

EvilWhiteMale said:

This is true and I have no problem with that I was just expressing my opinion about his work thats all! And if you are an 'Artist' that is what you do..you sell Art.

LemonPiE said:

I know who Mapplethorpe is, lol, and I was JOKING about Jesse Helms' ability to appreciate art. If you remember, Helms was quite eager in his campaign to cut all federal funding to the National Endowment For The Arts, and he cited Mapplethorpe's photographs as an example of why funding should be diverted to more "wholesome" pursuits.

VoicesCarry said:

Oh I see, hehehe Whoops oh well, I was wondering when the hell Jesse would say such a quote! Oh I know all about the funding cuts because of Jesse and his over lust to knock out Mapplethorpe in the 80's, and he was successful at it.

'Voices' unless it is stated obviously, most sarcastic quotes go right over my head.

It seems like he is trying to express something.

Thanks, Tom!!!

I wish I was rich so I could buy and hang this one:



and this one:



for starters.

I knew that I was into this guy for a reason. People who paint have deep, difficult, gorgeous souls.

In my opinion.

EvilWhiteMale said:

Heh. I knew I liked YOU for a reason, too. People with amazingly complex and challenging taste have even deeper, more difficult, more gorgeous souls than painters.
