Pleasantly Disturbing.

Michael Hussar. Just wanted to point out how marvelous I think his artworks are.

JW on Jul 19 '08 at 8:22am

Yeh his images have a certain twisted nature, which is quite intruiging, definitely not for everyone though. Personally i prefer artists like Francis Bacon, because i just find their images more thought provoking, Study after Vel�zquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X still creeps me out ;) (im assuming you know Bacon, if not you should check him out!).

mmm. bacon.

Nymeria on Jul 19 '08 at 8:34am

I didn't know about Bacon, though I checked him out. (Google rarely does art justice) I think I still like Mr. Hussar's work better but Mr. Bacon's art was interesting. You can't really compare them.

Hoping I don't sound to oblivious; I like how you get tips and names to other interesting things through these blogs.

JW on Jul 19 '08 at 8:34am

lol! time for breakfast on that note :D

JW on Jul 19 '08 at 8:39am

no thats cool Nymeria! I guess you cant really compare them but i just find myself looking at more artists like Bacon and less artists like Hussar if you get what i mean. I think its because im getting old hehe. You dont sound oblivious either, im still finding artists i like and knew nothing of :o)

Nymeria on Jul 19 '08 at 9:14am

Haha, great. I also really enjoy the works of Robert ParkeHarrison, even though he's a photographer.

It's past four in the afternoon here in Sweden, so I though that it was a late deal for breakfast now. Then I remebered. ^^

tracerbullet on Jul 19 '08 at 9:30am

ooh sweden. that's where the furniture comes from.

Don't forget all the music in the Mamma Mia! movie.

squatterjohn on Jul 19 '08 at 9:51am

I looked those artists up. They are disturbing. I think Bacon has the benefit of being more abstract, so potentially not quite as disturbing because you need to use your imagination a bit more. Although potentially he can wind up being more disturbing if you imagine it that way.

i much prefer hussar, bacon reminds me of de Kooning, different but provokes the same thoughts in me.

if you like hussar you may also like Mark Ryden, sorry if you already know his art. you might not.. lol.

Nymeria on Jul 19 '08 at 10:17am

Haha yes, Sweden. You forgot volvo and that every girl here is actually named Ingrid.

I don't think that either artist is disturbing in a sense that I don't want to watch it anymore, though I agree.

I think they're quite marvelous and especially the style of Michael Hussar is monstrously fascinating.

tracerbullet on Jul 19 '08 at 10:18am

so your name is actually ingrid instead of martina. i see.

Nymeria on Jul 19 '08 at 10:20am

Spot on.^^ and we only eat sm�rg�sbord and pickled herring.

JW on Jul 19 '08 at 10:44am

Salty candy ftw! hehe ( i went to art college with a few Scandanavians :P)

JW on Jul 19 '08 at 12:09pm

Nymeria on Jul 19 '08 at 1:23pm

Hahaha. I love that candy, it's salty licorice.

JW on Jul 19 '08 at 1:39pm

My ex girlfriend (Norwegian) used to get a parcel from her folks every month with loads of salty sweets in it. I think everything over here in the UK has about 3x more sugar in it ;)

hehe :) sorry its just i think salty candy def belongs in a blog with the title 'Pleasantly Disturbing'.

Nymeria on Jul 19 '08 at 1:45pm

Haha, I agree. The title isn't really set on anything specific.

I thought all you ate in britain was lousy sandwiches (to repent for comitted sins), and tea.

Since I've stuck on nationality stereotypes I'm using all I know about britain. AKA all I've read about it in the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.

JW on Jul 19 '08 at 2:07pm

Well the Tea part is definitely right, we drink loads of it! Ive had Koldtbord which is very similar to sm�rg�sbord yes? Which was actualy fairly similar to how my family have a traditional English Sunday roast.

I think I spat on the screen from laughing so hard. Where the hell did that come from? ^^ I can't put my finger on it but it's slightly disturbing that the emphasis is on 'this'.

Ah, I've only ever been to london, and I only did strict touristy stuff then so I know very little about brits in general.

JW on Jul 19 '08 at 2:31pm

JW on Jul 19 '08 at 2:33pm

Nymeria on Jul 19 '08 at 2:37pm

Hahahaha. Now that I think about it, brits must have the best sense of humour ever, they just hide it very well; Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett & Rowan Atkinson.

Nymeria on Jul 19 '08 at 2:42pm

"What do I get for tuppence?"

"Mum!"

Hilarious.

JW on Jul 19 '08 at 2:43pm

All about me

I go to school but work parttime at a torture shop AKA beauty salon. It's awful so I try to spend as much time here on this site as possible while working.

I'm a legitimate bookworm and try to read anything handed to me.
I have no drawing talent whatsoever so I try not to drool to heavily when I go through the catalogue.

I'm also a Swede and everything you've heard is true. We have polarbears roaming the streets and everybody's house is only furnished with IKEA furniture and they all drive a Volvo.

I own:
-The Last Piece. Sumos fighting over sushi, priceless.
-I Wish I Were.
-Yeti Hated His Size Feet, I have man-feet so I can't sympathize, but it's still a awesome T.
- Darwin Kick, actually wore it to a kung fu practice. Created a couple of chuckles. ^^

I've ordered:
-Sinister Dexter.
-Flowers in the attic.
-Rock n Work
-HEEEEAAAVYYY METAL
-Spiritual Symphony.
