That there's an exhibition of favorite cartoon characters allegedly painted by Adolf Hitler going on is pure coincidence, right? =SJim North wrote:I'm drawing sketches of 31 of my favorite cartoon characters, one for each day in March. First up is Grumpy Dwarf from Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs!

The uncanny resemblance of the format caught my attention ;PJim North wrote:It would seem so, considering today's doodle is Grouchy Smurf.
These (see below) are currently on display and were on the news during the last couple days. Very similar to what you're doing right now, though possibly completely unrelated. (Allegedly, the AH in the corner stands for Adolf Hitler, which is why its been getting media attention.)Jim North wrote:Okay, so now I have no idea what you're on about now.
I should say that while he did some bad things, I've seen some of the paintings that were confirmed as his, and he was an extremely competent artist, very good eye...KWill wrote:These (see below) are currently on display and were on the news during the last couple days.

He was rejected from artschool because they said his paintings were too structured - They said he had great architectual drawing skills though. He never became famous for painting because killing a few million people tends to upstage that sorta thing.jesusabdullah wrote:I'd been under the impression that he (Edit: Adolf Hitler) was a fairly mediochre artist. Like not that he was terrible, but that there was a reason he never got famous for painting, y'know?
Edit: Hey Blackhole, have you ever read Snow Crash?
yep. It's awesome. Sadly it's the only book by the author that is awesome. Before I found Snow Crash I had read Neuromancer and just about everything else by William Gibson. He could do no wrong untill Pattern Recognition. That book and the new one he has out is crap.jesusabdullah wrote: Edit: Hey Blackhole, have you ever read Snow Crash?
