Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'

I've seen this picture many, many times on here, it's my desktop wallpaper (in 1680x1050 size) and everybody I've shown it to loves it. But I have no idea who made it or if there are any more like it.

Rape is HILARIOUS!








quote:

VIRAEMIA

The civilised world lies on its knees, a sickness wracking its body. The affliction causes a necrotising of tissues so perfectly uniform in distribution that victims take on the appearance of corpses long before death occurs due to organ failure or secondary infections. The crumbling remnants of academia swing from fatalistic resignation to maddened optimism in their addressment of what could be done to fight the sickness.
The vast numbers of doctors attempting to stem the tide of infection, invariably falling victim to the malady they treat, have begun to form fanatical extermination squads whose policies are condoned by authority. A notion forms, twisting the tenets of the Hippocratic oath to say that when the oath taker is subject to the half-death of infection they are obliged to spend their lasting days attempting to destroy the source of the contagion. The paramilitary forces formed from the infected medical practicioners find themselves deigned to mete out persecution to the sufferers they were formally treating. Equipped with the leftovers of dissolved military forces, the Doctors' Militia are organised to burn all infected areas and sufferers; a campaign which stalks across blasted lands, mirroring the wave of infection in an addled attempt at backtracking all the way to some imaginary source.
Extensive bombing campaigns start firestorms that incinerate whole cities. Squads of "scorched earth" units are tasked with eradicating outlying locales. The distinctive appearance of the plague doctors, the only sight originally associated with any idea of hope, often causes the confused survivors of bombing runs to rush, open armed, towards the oncoming squads.

Ok it's not "kickass" in the sense of sharks and chainsaws or whatever, but I love it anyway.

Goon made. Was posted in the "Post Your Art" thread in CC. I stupidly didn't save the poster's name to the file.

Oh man I have to include this too: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...en_delights.jpg

Wikipedia MAJORLY updated their picture of Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights. It's gigantic and you can see every single ridiculous detail and scene in it. Direct linking because I don't know of an image uploader that maintains the size of images that huge.

Just thought of this: returning to the Halo theme, the 'Believe' commercial for Halo 3 featured an amazing diorama that surely qualifies as "kickass art". The amount of work that went into it was staggering.

Drive... just drive.

This one is from Damien Hirst iirc, titled Armageddon. I haven't seen much else of his work, but I always loved this one.

Close Up:


Full View:


 It's made entirely out of dead flies. Not joking, and the best part is that as it travels from gallery to gallery a few of the flies will drop off (as you might be able to see in the second picture). So everywhere it goes it leaves a little bit of itself behind.

Is there a different, stronger way to say 'what the gently caress'? Cause I need such a phrase to describe my feelings toward this.

I've never seen these before. That's a very moving statue, and aptly so. Vimy was a hosed up place 66 years ago.

This is fantastic, my only criticism is that she really doesn't look like she's LOOKING at the robot. Her eyes seem focused about a foot to his right. Is there a larger version of this?
