The recommendations you discussed here are really useful. It absolutely was such a fun surprise to have that awaiting me after i woke up to find this event. Thank you very much for the tip!

Yes, Craig above, asked if they were real or actual art. But as I explained to him, they really would fit in a hip art gallery. Better than most stuff these days anyway.
My dad has a fake ice cube in his freezer. It’s plastic with a plastic fly inside. It ALWAYS ends up in my glass. Now, THAT’S something that’s museum worthy.
That’s a great gag piece. The funniest things can be so simple. While searching for pictures of trays I was surprised to see all the shapes in which they came.
There is no program. Cartoons are hand drawn and hand colored, scanned and posted. Collage pictures are downloaded, cut with a razor knife and glued pieces assembled. Scanned and posted.No program. Just two hands and 14 fingers. Opppps I mean 10.
Are these trays actually in the museum? OR did you find them elsewhere and then cut and paste? They look like possibly they came from a museum article or book or magazine! I think what I’m trying to say is are these pieces actual pieces of art in the museum?
The topic was to be “art forms or schools” There are many so I chose to play off cubism. A pun or silly or absurd sketch of some sort. Searched ice cube trays. Printed to size. Went to picture frames and print to size. Go to crowds of people stock photo. In this case I had to search several thousand to find people with backs . Found 3 and print to size. Use razor knife to cut, paste on background. They are not copies from real paintings but my art thought. I suppose if an artist produced the 4 in a set they would easily bring $1,000. A known artist could get $25,000 for prints of these painted as a numbered series of one or two hundred. All as a mere pun on cubism. They really would make Andy Warhol imitations. So your question is natural. All collage work on blog done this way, all original and this one took about 3 hours to make. I will allow you to speculate what kind of mind it takes to post 300 original items on the blog in one year.
Loved it! That could actually be in one of those museums in the Design District. Really depicts the topics that pass as art. My niece who just got her MFA from Santa Barbara presented a bull pissing as her thesis project. I don’t know how she defended it, but she’s got her masters anyway.
Yeah, saw all that junk at the theater when I saw Jersey Boys. I mean just a big orange square or another with just a canvas of yellow paint and the bozos were just swooning over the stuff. So glad to hear from you. Last thing I saw was Godspell . I go to the theater every 35 years.
I’m impressed. Looks very professional! Are these actually in the museum?
What mechanics did you use to put this one together?
Or is it a secret recipe?
Thank God I have an ice maker in my refrigerator, even if ice cubes fall out the door every time I go away for longer than an hour. I can even smell the plastic and feel the aluminum. Ice maker cubes just smell of frozen food past its prime…
