Now the painted version with gold leaf

2019-01-25 21:07:43 UTC  

Orrrrrr I'll just frame it lol

2019-01-25 21:26:30 UTC  

looks like a gnostic emanation graph but drawn with emojis

2019-01-25 21:29:42 UTC  

Except it's all Christian symbols and colors that have been traditionally used in icons...

2019-01-25 21:33:20 UTC  

I see no human persons in this alleged icon.

2019-01-25 21:33:37 UTC  

A bunch of disks, a book, a water drop, gadolig sagraments, and muh keys

2019-01-25 21:34:27 UTC  

When God made Adam out of the clay, he didn't make him into an emoji

2019-01-25 21:34:35 UTC  

Neither did Christ incarnate as an emoji

2019-01-25 21:36:32 UTC  

Icons aren't nominalist representations, they're symbolic since they're pointing to divine reality, and the likeness of humanity is important in icons because man was made in God's image

2019-01-25 21:40:47 UTC  

I wouldn't call this painting an icon though

2019-01-25 21:40:52 UTC  

The green text was a meme

2019-01-25 21:41:18 UTC  

Alright then

2019-01-25 21:41:36 UTC  

It does use symbols and colors that are traditionally found in icons though

2019-01-25 21:42:15 UTC  

Also people are super hard to draw

2019-01-25 21:42:18 UTC  

And paint

2019-01-25 21:48:59 UTC  

If I wanted an icon, I would just buy one lol

2019-01-25 21:49:16 UTC  

Fair enough

2019-01-25 21:55:30 UTC  

I'm pressed on cash though and I'd rather buy crosses, thurible, and candles before buying another icon

I really dislike the lifeless mouths of statues of Mary

2019-01-27 19:36:37 UTC  

I think that's a good one, actually.

2019-01-27 22:14:14 UTC  

The eyes are very good, but the mouth is kind of numb

2019-01-28 02:17:05 UTC  

How would you make the mouth better? If you can describe it.

2019-01-28 07:19:17 UTC  

I would make it have an actual expression of sorrow instead of being completely lifeless

2019-01-28 07:35:28 UTC  

Like, try to leave your mouth in a completely emotionaless state and it will look like that

I maintain that fashwave will never be a proper artform, but this channel seemed most appropriate to post my own.

2019-02-06 03:02:27 UTC  

It really depends on what you define art to be.

2019-02-06 03:03:06 UTC  

Technically art is just the Latin word for craft or trade

2019-02-06 03:03:37 UTC  

Which is why I try to call "artwork" aesthetic

2019-02-06 07:24:19 UTC  

Art is what conveys beauty

2019-02-06 07:24:28 UTC  

In one or another way

2019-02-06 07:24:35 UTC  

And is crafted, of course

2019-02-06 13:38:24 UTC  

I mean stuff like gunsmithing doesn't convey beauty

2019-02-06 13:39:27 UTC  

Nobody's stopping you from making engravings

2019-02-06 13:40:09 UTC  

lol

2019-02-06 13:40:30 UTC  

get me some Renaissance flair on my 12gauge

2019-02-06 13:41:38 UTC  

😍

2019-02-06 13:53:56 UTC  

If it doesn't convey beauty in some way I have no problems calling it non-art
