It should be framed and hung in an art gallery.

Agreed.

Its astounding beauty renders me speechless. :D

[AJ]

I rated it "Terrible".

[sololop]

*Gasp!*

It.. It...s.. It's Beau... Beautiful! I have never seen anything with such, Power! Such, Emotion! Egad!

It's a dinosaur with a jetpack or a back-mounted missile launcher?

[Mtank]

Heh. It might not be a Picasso, but it sure made me smile.

The Dinosaur (is it a Brontosaurus or a Diplodocus?) has this nice dazed expression on his face; like he's on weed. Also, the thing on his back is possible a jetpack rather than a rocket launcher, since the rocket would, unless the dinosaur really bent his neck, hit it while it shot out.

I think Weekend captured a lot of the psychological issues that plague us in the modern world. About how "machines have altered our way of life but not our instincts" (to quote Bertrand Russell) The dinosaur represents our instincts and emotions, which seem out of sync with the technology that we have come to use in the modern day. There is a lack of sync because machines starve the anarchic and spontaneous side of human nature, creating discontent within the mind.

Its interesting to note that the jetpack is tied to the dinosaur, much like how humanity is 'chained' to machines. The dinosaur also seems to be smiling at the first glance, but if you look closer, you can se sadness in the eyes. The dinosaur realises his plight and how futile his struggle against it would be. He has no choice but to be carried wherever the jetpack takes him, even if it takes him to extinction.

The drawing, thus, beautifully captures the feeling of cynicism and despair that marrs us because of our current day situation, and the nature of the relationship between man and machine.

Bravo.

I look at it as more of a comment on US dependence on foreign oil. Oil is the large rocket strapped to our back. Sure it moves us forward but it does it slowly, because the US is such a large beast. What you know when you see the dinosaur is that it needs a larger rocket, or perhaps simply to evolve something natural (an analogy to, say, ethanol and other things).

I rated it "Terrible".To each his own.

Thank you all for your comments and views. They have been very touching.

[hammocksleeper]

i actually kind of like it

i'm a huge fan of children's art, i think there is a lot of greatness that lies untapped in the art of the very young. ive always wanted to start a collection of children's art

[Fenguin]

Oh my goodness Mtank, you have gone mad. Mad I say! O.O

[Mtank]

Oh my goodness Mtank, you have gone mad. Mad I say! O.O

Have I, Fenguin? Have I really? Or is it just that I'm the only one who sees clearly whats going on?

Whats wrong? Can't look me in the eye, can you, Fenguin? Is it because even you, deep down, know that I'm right? Dammit, you can hide under your bed and deny the truth every day, whispering sweet lies to yourself when you're all alone, smothered in the darkness of your deceit, trying to block out the demons of your existance leering at you at every turn, just so you can look in the mirror without shuddering, but not I, sir! Though you may judge me and call me mad, I shall not shirk from my chosen course of action, whatever the consequences may be and whatever society in all its pettyness and hypocrisy may throw at me!

[hammocksleeper]

ok mtank. you've gone mad. :)

as verified by my official madness-verifying device that analyzes the text that you typed on the screen. it was inputted via saline-lubricated, paired optical vision grabbers and transmitted to the state-of-the-art madness-verifying device which after highly complicated neural coordination in less than a matter of seconds was able to determine that you are indeed mad, correlating these results to formulate motor impulses in the output device which posted this message.

[Schwitzer]

I rated it "Terrible".
Reading the comments, I thought I was going to be the only one for a while there.

[WeekendLazyness]

Reading the comments, I thought I was going to be the only one for a while there.That's a little mean.

[BlackHawk]

WL I think it needs some colour -- though don't colour in the lines or you'll ruin the feeling (and hammock's dreams of a child art gallery).

[Battlecruiser]

Just plain amazing. I've never seen artwork more detailed and fancy than that.

This thread is way above my intelectual cap. Please forgive my idiocy, master WL.

/me sits in a corner and twiddles his thumbs

[The_Maker]

Zelt! He's Back! The Light Giver! All Hail Zelt! All Hail Zelt!

Oh Zelt can you see?
By the dawns early light...


ok enough with the parades and music :P
Anyways, woo you're back.

And uhm, I dunno what to think of the art, its a doodle of a dinosaur with a rocket jetpack back thingy o_O

/me looks deep into the past and predicts that you were 135% bored at the time that rocketpowered dinosaur was brought into the world :P

[Aquarian]

It's a dinosaur with a jetpack or a back-mounted missile launcher?

[WeekendLazyness]

Bravo.I agree... I think. Good work WL and you too Mark. GO Artists! I really love the simplicity of the dinosaur with the jet pack/rocket launcher

Should I make it into a t-shirt?YES! I would buy 1!

[Zeltaris]

Should I make it into a t-shirt?

No. You will print it on a G-string and then send me 20 plz :D:D:D:D

[Aquarian]

Duh.Of course!People will then ask me,"Is that a dinosaur with a rocket on it?", then I'd say "No,it's an abstract!"

[Sithius]

Dino Riders fucking OWNED.

[Kazansky]

Dino Riders? Oh yeah! I used to have a Saber-Toothed tiger Limited Edition Dino Riders model when I was five! Some of the parts were lost and I had to replace them with legos. Heheheh

The Rulons, I think, used a big brontosaurus with rocket launchers on the side. Wow, I haven't been talking about this show in nearly 15 years.

[Kazansky]

Show? I've only seen one episode! Well... five minutes of it, anyway. I was interested in the merchandise when I was little.

[Leosam096]

this is an interesting display of cuteness and brief happiness with a diosaur with a rocket on his back.

cheers!
