images to be retired....., by rob123rob on Jun 1, 2007 23:39:05 GMT 1,
For any up and coming artists out there who are tempted by the desire to re-create, and not create, I thought why not start a list of images/icons that should be retired from future use ...enough already! : please feel free to add to this list
-Anyone or anything to do with Star Wars (seriously)
-Kate Moss
-Marilyn Monroe
-Mickey Mouse
-screaming Vietnamese children
-Jesus doing anything that is un-Jesus like (yawn)

You, yourself have just used these icons to make your argument more clear, try doing so without referring to the original icons in any way. Obviously you can't use this thread to do so. Good luck.

images to be retired....., by finsburyparkranger on Jun 2, 2007 11:25:05 GMT 1, uuuuggghh. Tis the morning after..... feeling rough... above comment was made in a state of drunkeness. I was unfair and you are right to be cynical of the repetition. Although, what i was trying to comunicate (badly) was that its not necessarily the icon thats are the problem but the failure to add anything to the discussion already whilst using the icon. In a way the icons are just like words within our vocabulary, the challenge is to use the words in an interesting fashion.... Although yeah, you are right, the better challenge would be to make an interesting point without repeating yourself. Ok, in that case lets knock on the head...
The queen.
Did I just say something illegal? ;D
and maybe banks notes.
However can we keep gas masks? I still like them.

i agree that some things are repepititive (sp?) but they are all done differently. saying that i'd much rather a completely original idea instead of an interesting but all ready done idea.

So, we've added 20% more crap and doubled the price.
Hope you like it:
You can make payment via Paypal, as for the next 2 months i'll be cruising the Carribean on my new Yacht. Eating caviar and drinking Newcastle Brown Ale (still keeping it Real...!!!)

images to be retired....., by corblimeylimey on Jun 3, 2007 20:29:55 GMT 1, Well between you all, you've written off most stuff so I guess we'll have to put up with old classic landscapes & portraits ideally in oils on canvas ;D
no one's yet mentioned
pigs
politicians/leaders
angels/cherubs
targets
blood
gun shot holes
monkeys
birds
tanks
spray cans
Personally I think it's like asking the cubists not to paint straight lines  ;D
