Here's some art. http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/in...D=29354878&albumId=2181123
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night

It's a nice little story 'ThegreatEpicurus' but needs a little work. For the narrator to be believeable you need to remember not to use modern speach or terms like 'tear gas'. Also there is no mention of Beartrice prior to when the narrator congratulates the reader for guessing that it is her the king married, except one mention in the previous sentence. She needs to be introduced in some form earlier in the story, perhaps in some mysterious form, so as not to give the game away. You need to check it through for grammer/spelling (knew not new) etc. nod

The Narrator is history, therefore he can use any language he wants. I would love to introduce Beatrice earlier, well yeh I agree but only got 2,500 worlds to play with. Spelling you are right, but I have dyslexia so struggle with that. Thanks for reading smiling face

I really liked "Window". It probably took going to some "dark places" to write, no?

Well ... ehh, ... The story isn't exactly cute no, but although all characters are made up, the details, tactics etc. are what I found during my research in the subject of stalking. So I didn't have to go to dark places myself, they are reasonably well documented. I just knit them together. Hope that doesn't disappoint too much grin Ahh, but it is true, describing the main character did take some dark turns of empathy, yes.

What's with the creepy styled portraits and naked people? What's this style of art called? It's freaking me out.
Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says "But Doctor...
I am Pagliacci."

Good joke, everybody laugh.

Well ignore the trees - I just painted them as exercises to show my mum rather than mother.jpg smiling face as for the rest of them I am starting to think I might be a stuckist.

Are stuckist artists called that because they are stuck at a childish level of painting? I'm sorry if that seems offensive but a lot of the stuff looks like it.

You're not the first to level that accusation at them; perhaps they have nowhere to go as a consequence of wanting to be objective, figurative painters which have rejected realism. However it is not for me to defend other artists work but I would be happy to explore the ideals of stuckism if you create a thread in philosophy of art section. I really don’t want to derail this thread.
