Default Photography, Graphic Design, Paintings that you like :-: I don't know what...

In this thread post photos, graphic design, paintings you like, I'm looking for a new wallpaper. Currently this: I don't know what it is about this photo. It just struck something inside of me the first time I saw it.




There's also a cool program out there
(http://the-rasterbator.en.softonic.com/) that basically turns any image you have into a giant poster by printing parts of it onto individual A4 sized sheets.

Like this




Very cool. I'm thinking of giving it a go

this is the link to the pic, it's only on fb at the moment: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...5&id=782146832

that's from the first appointment, bit by bit it'll be an entire back piece... eventually

he said it actually wasn't that bad. that the lilly flower and green leaf were the most painful. although he also said that given that it was such a long session, he felt like crying for the last hour haha

i can´t see your pic, emelie... and i´d really like to.
i´ll look for something i´m into... but, as i´m sick in bed, i can´t think of anything right now.

good stuff so far, people. thanks for sharing

EDIT: wait... now i can, it´s beautiful indeed. very weird. maybe i´m hallucinating without even notice... seriously. i just smelled my mum´s pizza smell :S (i´m dying for a pizza made by my mum!). killian, your brother is crazy! and 500 euros for a tatoo? i have no idea about tatoos prices (much less in euros), but that sounds insane to me, lol.

I google translated it. this is what came back.

Buenos Aires filleting Tattoos - Pictures, Tattoos, Designs, Images and Drawings

Filleting Buenos Aires is a typical painting style and traditional in the city of Buenos Aires, tango buddy relative of each suburbs, each lantern.

One of its greatest exponents is Alfredo Genovese, who has designed and printed porteños fillets particular style on posters, windows, flooring, tubs, pool tables, advertisements, old cars ..

Alejandro Lerner's piano fell porteño rendered under his brush and, last but not least, the human skin could not escape his spell fileteador.

Alfredo Genovese has filleting, reaching into the body painting, famous people like Charly Garcia, Dante Spinetta and La Mona Gimenez.

And the expert hand of a tattoo artist, Lucky Seven, it was his design to a shoulder and was to stay there for life.

A tattoo filleting, not only for locals ...

Also,

I want to follow them, find out where they're going; what they are talking about...etc. I like this one.

I used to have this a while back...I always wondered what she was looking at...

That, and I love "8 1/2"
