Anything's a dlido if you're brave enough.

Bean

No it's cloud gate

No it's a friggin bean

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

If not bean then why bean shaped

So fun fact: the artist who made the bean and gets mad when you call it the bean, is also the guy who has exclusive rights to use vantablack for art. AND he stole the pink that was specifically and exclusively Not For Him.

The vantablack thing is a bit complicated because while it's utterly ridiculous he's the only artist allowed to use the substance (and is an utter prick about it, which is honestly the larger issue).

It has to be a somewhat controlled substance because it's ridiculously carcinogenic, obviously that doesn't mean you can't sell it to other people it just has to be dolled out carefully and with instruction.

The pink is amazing though, I saw some in a museum once and it honestly looks like it's lit up, cameras absolutely do not capture it. It just looks normal on cameras. It's worth going and having a look if you ever have the opportunity.

Where museum with unphotographable pink color?

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago

You can just buy the pink yourself from Stuart Semple for fifteen bucks.

[–] Beehaw_Girl@beehaw.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

Why are you telling me that? I already knew that.

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

Like the Golden Turd in Tokyo

[–] cm0002@libretechni.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's the defining line between art for the rich to laundry money and actual art

Dammit, now I will forever hear "artisanal" this way.

Probably not a bad thing considering how the word has been abused.

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

You'll be fine if you pronounce it the way you spelled it.

[–] Beehaw_Girl@beehaw.org 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Art is anal.

Massage the rapist.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

This is why I never leave home without my anal bum cover.

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you for your comment, i couldn't figure it out!

designer: "Ok, yeah now I see it."

[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 weeks ago

They knew from the beginning.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 8 points 2 weeks ago

I'd prefer my anal art to be in red too.... blue just seems wrong, necrophiliac like or something

[–] Zier@fedia.io 8 points 2 weeks ago

And 10"! Happy happy joy joy.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

"Art Is Anal" should be a T-shirt.

[–] dontbelievethis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Isn't it? You put a bunch of time to get good at something to make a living from it and the it just get stolen so anybody can now make it and you can't make money from it like before.

Sounds pretty anal to me.
