Artists

Also who was a similar artist of the opposite sex if that artist is of the male gender.

Thanks

Kurt actually did it, he was very artistic and the back cover is a collage of his unusual collections. I don’t know any other artists like him.

In an art history course, I remember learning of an artist that died of gangrene alone on an island. Now I can’t remember the artist and its driving me crazy! Can anyone help?

Paul Gauguin died in Tahiti of syphillis — close but no cigar!

Painting mountains has never been easier!

I know I can select an individual artist and use menu/shuffle:songs to listen to random songs by that artist. I want to shuffle all my songs, but go through one artist entirely before shuffling to another random artist. How can I do that?

you cant

This question is for the artist community. Yeah, what does it take to become a great artist? Let’s suppose i paint 10 really really good masterpieces in my entire lifetime. Is that enough to make you a good renouned artist who will be remembered for ever? Or is it compulsory to dedicate your life to art and spend a lifetime doing countless good (or just good) paintings? Which of these two?

I would have to agree with both of them, BUT…

There are a few artists in the world whose talent is such that their art work is just spectacular.These people usually have a photographic mind of things around them. They are in a league of their own. BUT…unless they do anything with this talent they have, nobody will ever know they exist. Therefore, you must push yourself into getting your art out into the public for them to see. Unfortunately, this may lead to you working on those "good" paintings and never having the time to master your art disciplines.

Then there are artists who have been great, were okay with their artwork, but took a detour into another form of art. These are the iconic artists who made a niche for themselves. These are the "gimmick" artists who were known for specific art genres. I’m not going to name names because others may disagree with me, but I think you get the jest of it.

Why you picked the number 10 is beyond me. Da Vinci accomplished much in his life, but have you ever thought of all the things he never finished? Michelangelo wanted to be known as a sculptor, but he became known as an artist. Raphael only lived to be 37, but look at all he did in such a short lifetime. My point is, anyone who really wants to can become a well known artist as long as they work hard at it. It’s up to the individual to become great inside to know they are putting forth their best effort in what they do as an artist. To these people, it really doesn’t matter what others think as long as they are doing the best work they can do.

Ok, this might seem such a strange question (well, the second part at least) but I am planning on getting a tattoo in the future and I have no idea how much the tip should be. Also, is it appropriate to hand the cash for the tip directly to the artist them self or should it be given to the person (usually an intern) who rings the total cost up? Advice is greatly appreciated! Much thanks!

i would say as a general rule never give a tip intended for one person to another person, no matter where you are. this is money is undocumented (no paper trail: ie receipts) so there is no way to prove that you ever gave the tip or for whom the tip was intended. but yes, tip the artist well and give it directly to them.

I am interested in a career as a makeup artist at a funeral parlor. Where can I find the resources and information that I would need to achieve my goals?

It’s called a Mortuary Cosmetologist.

I would recommend studying at a local mortuary college. The area of cosmetology requires extensive knowledge of physiognomy (the study of the muscles of the face), color scale, recreative artistry, and chemistry.

Many of the mortuary schools offer courses that cover all of these areas. Funeral homes in urban settings sometimes use local services to come and do hair and some cosmetics. Most do their own cosmetic work as part of the normal preparation of the deceased.

The best advice I can give would be to go and talk to your local funeral home/funeral director and ask what requirements the funeral home may have. The funeral director may even have other suggestions for your particular part of the country. Plus, they may have a great recommendation for schools, and may even be willing to let you meet with their own cosmetologist.

A married couple that performs during NBA halftimes by doing quick changes of clothing… kind of unbelievable.
