The Ultimate Medium

Just had a thought. What if life is an art form. Hear me out, now. How could this idea be any more ridiculous than any other idea about Creation? Take for example God, evolution, or giant dragons puking the universe into existence.

If artists could manipulate the very essence of the universe, would they not create waterfalls and rainbows, butterflies and badgers, and burgers and fries? Of course they would!

God is the Original Artist.

Below, I list ten great works by God. (This list is not all inclusive and just popped off the top of my head.)

  1. The planet Saturn.
  2. Dogs.
  3. Cats.
  4. Babies (all forms, especially puppies, kittens, and children).
  5. The Cuttlefish.
  6. The planet Earth.
  7. Water.
  8. Light.
  9. Animation.
  10. Frogs.

Hieronymus Bosch

This was the cover to a report I did on the Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch. You know, the guy who paints people with fish heads. I’m not saying that he used fish heads to make his paintings. For example, he didn’t use a fish head as a brush. What I am trying to say is he paints pictures of fish-headed people. Circa 1999. This drawing was circa 1999 but the Hieronymus paintings were circa 1500.

Colorful Hallucination

Several “Interesting Comments” below:

  • The dog may be the precursor to Brian of Family Guy.
  • “Chromium Brown” may indeed be a pigment of the imagination. Google it.
  • My sincere apologies for the poor reproduction quality of The Anonymous comic strips. I am scanning them from a copy, and not from the originals. I don’t know if I still have the originals. If I do, they are probably buried deep in storage.
  • I believe this idea was conceived after reading “Lust for Life”, a biographical novel about Vincent Van Gogh.
  • Not only is he searching for a non-existent paint color, his dog is talking.
  • Not only is his dog talking, but he doesn’t even have a dog.
  • Make sure that your studio is well ventilated.
