EDGE ART: NEW MICHAEL ALAN WORK, by seidbereit on Jul 25, 2008 15:42:28 GMT 1, I know a few people have asked and here it is: BAM's website is now fully operational. Keep an eye out for some sneak previews including some work that will be at the first Lay It Up event on August 26th
Is BAM a collective, Mike?
It says "we're so pleased!" (referring to the Warden print) on the front page of the site.

I think Mike (or his web developer) wrote that, "We're" as in Mike and BAM, people at Edge are pleased with it......could be wrong though?

EDGE ART: NEW MICHAEL ALAN WORK, by bmjt on Jul 28, 2008 15:20:47 GMT 1, Of course. But it can't have taken more that 15, 20mins tops to make that can it? ยฃ165??
Please feel free to correct me here Cxxx.
Greatness of art has no relationship to how long they take, I appreciate that, but here it really really shows.
I feel like an atheist trying to convince a believer....can't you see it?

EDGE ART: NEW MICHAEL ALAN WORK, by voodooguru on Jul 28, 2008 15:30:12 GMT 1, The worst reaction would have to be indifference surely. So even though its not your bag BM, it did, at least 'provoke' you enough to spend time typing a few notes onto the forum. That alone gives it some value as it has had a effect on your life; allbeit ina small way.
Is that not the purpose of art?
But, hey, what do I know...

I think we just have to agree to disagree on this one bmjt. I love all of the pieces of art i have for the simple reason that i enjoy looking at them and owning them just as i am sure you do with your own collection. Cheers

EDGE ART: NEW MICHAEL ALAN WORK, by iAmCxxx on Jul 28, 2008 15:34:13 GMT 1, I totally respect your views bmjt and I don't want to get into bickering and certainly not defending what I do. But since you asked me directly...in my opinion it is not the time taken but the intention, composition and passion involved that make great art great. I am in no way saying I am a great artist, that is not my place. I am also not going to name other artists whose work has taken very little 'time' to execute but a lifetime to process the idea. ......oh and they did take more than fifteen minutes. Not a defence of my work but my opinion. x

EDGE ART: NEW MICHAEL ALAN WORK, by bmjt on Jul 28, 2008 16:10:24 GMT 1, Fair play, thanks for your opinions everyone, glad we could have something of a friendly debate about it. Don't get me wrong Cxxx, just as I wrote in one of my posts, I don't believe there is a link between great art and the time taken to execute it, but I can't help but feel yours didn't take much longer than half and hour and it does seem to permeate throughout the final product.
I just think if you'd produced hundreds and hundreds of these (apologies if you already have), over time you would have developed a level of refinement and skill in what you are trying to portray, not that you should want your pieces to be regular and controlled, far from it, that it obviously their strength, but i'm sure you would acquire an improved level of execution and composition which I think is really lacking. It just seems that I could have done it, something that always get me on this forum and provokes me to say something.
As Dellboyy says, if you enjoy it, keep doing it, I daren't deny someone something they brings them that.

I think bmjt you are also correct in that they are still fairly raw and I have no doubt with time I Am Cxxx will develop his technique further but as a starting point I think its not bad. Keep up the good work I Am Cxxx.
