23 Jan 06 - 08:26 PM (#1654498) Subject: RE: BS: Black Velvet = good folks doing bad art From: Little Hawk Oh, indeed. That's a worthy notion all right. How about Diana Rigg? I used to worship her. Why do we not see more black velvet paintings of Diana? Because she's too classy for black velvet, that's why. |

We had a black velvet collage of a sunken treasure ship over our massive sectional sofa. One morning my field supervisor saw said black velvet collage and inquired as to how much we had paid for same. Mrs. JSC asked why he wanted to know. The reply so that he could buy it from us and break it; he was way ahead of his time! |

23 Jan 06 - 08:51 PM (#1654522) Subject: RE: BS: Black Velvet = good folks doing bad art From: Lonesome EJ The thread title ignores all of the good art done on black velvet, particularly the examples which incorporate creeping fluorescent yellow and orange tigers in their vibrant dayglo jungle abodes. Also some of the antique John F Kennedy stuff. The thread also attacks not only all BV art, but also those who hold it dear and find comfort in it. Many of these people lead drab dreary workaday lives, only finding relaxation by popping the top on a Bud Lite, switching on the television and the black light, and whiling away their time getting a buzz while watching shows about people who are even worse off than them, all the time surrounded by their mass-produced fluorescent cave paintings. Shame on you Little Hawk, smugly sipping your pinot noir, surrounded by your Star Trek Episode 3 posters and your naughty French Lithographs, listening to the unearthly warblings of Buffy St Marie, composing a snappy comeback to this post while outside the arctic wind howls across the frozen wastes of your glacier-like country. |

Now harness your sled dogs and get down to the village, and don't come back until you've procured a case of Lite beer,a bag of Cheetoes, and an Aztec Chieftain rescuing a half-naked Princess from a giant fluorescent green rattlesnake. |

Oh, and be sure and shove a couple of sheets from The Toronto Star up under your shirt, because it's colder than penguin shit out there. I've got to go down to Rama and file a report on the recent badger-napping, and I thought I would pick me up some Molson and Lamb Fries at National Liquor Store #41,356. I'll drop you by the dry goods store on the way. On Yukon King!! On stout fellow! |

23 Jan 06 - 09:29 PM (#1654570) Subject: RE: BS: Black Velvet = good folks doing bad art From: Bee-dubya-ell I'm typeless. I was going to say I was speechless, but it doesn't make any sense to say "speechless" here because nobody's speaking. We're all typing. Of course, that observation has diddley-squat to do with black velvet paintings. That is unless one subscribes to the philosophy that all knowledge can be reduced to a black velvet painting, in which case the sum of the world's knowledge is wearing a sombrero and smoking a cigar in a Mexican restaurant in Opp, Alabama. |

Yes, she was quite fond of velvet, though she detested black. Her favorite color was a deep chatreuse, if you can imagine chartreuse being deep. |

24 Jan 06 - 09:09 AM (#1654745) Subject: RE: BS: Black Velvet = good folks doing bad art From: Bee-dubya-ell By George, dianavan's right! The matador doing whatever they call it that a matador does with his cape as the bull narrowly misses hooking his left testicle. He's on the wall in the Mexican restaurant right next to the Pancho Villa look-alike with the cigar. I've seen him hundreds of times. There must be millions of them out there. So why is there not a single image on the Web that a Google image search can find? Maybe Google forgot to put a "allow display of black velvet paintings" option in their "preferences" and so they're filtered out. |
