I bought this print. I think its brilliant. I like the subject matter (it lets me travel to another place and time) the colors are very vivid and the structure is sharp and grabs me.

My wife hates it.

Would you hang this in your house ?

nope.

Why ?

that is cool, in a weird sort of way.

This print is a Middle Eastern version of the American Auto Sales Room, except it's for Flying Carpets. The gentleman in the red hat is the salesman, explaining to his customer that the carpet on display is a six passenger model and can be purchased using the $2,000 Rebate and 0 % financing.

Thats interesting Bez because I actually bought it for you, but I liked it so much I kept it....that being said I think youll enjoy what I sent you. Her opinion is void of rational reason or specificities. (say that once slow)

well that explains it then...friggin Minneaplois Institute of Arts:D

and it became very clear to me way back that you all have one

Do you mind if i copy it and turn into a 'postcard' size piccy ?



Let your wife choose the frame and hang it in different places until you find one that looks 'right'....it'll grow on her I'm sure once you've turned on a bit of your abundant masculine charm.

Ghee, it looks cool Nomad. Make a deal with Mrs. Nomad-you hang that, she can have a picture of her choice. Take her out to dinner to close the deal.........

I cant spend the rest of my days trying to reason with a bunch of art haters. I hope they take it back. You people go and enjoy your fuzzy Elvis and poker playing dog "art" ok ?:p

Hope that's inches and not feet, othewise it will be as big as the carpet they're bargaining over in the picture

Ghee, I liked it Nomad-

But if you don't want it, send it over to the Pub, we'll hang it up in the men's room there.

nope, not even in the gents!!

I have to agree with Bez, I quite like it too.

That picture with the dogs is grosse...I once went to a museum where they had 'stuffed animals' (kittens) dressed in wedding clothes...they'd mad a kind of 'Tableau'. Apparently the Victorians were into this kind of thing like stuffed birds and animals.

I took a peep as well...particularly like the photography section with the old photos reflecting social history.

Really interesting...like this one

I was always kinda partial to "Dogs Playing Pool"

I agree with your wife :yh_ooooo :yh_sick

Yes I love it to!

You wouldn't hang that thing in my house. It reminds me of Iraq. Sorry, but thankfully we don't all like the same thing.

I like it

it's thought provoking, has lots to look at and if nothing it gets a reaction out of others.

Honestly Nomad I would hang it in my house I thing it is very nice.
