THE Doog? Larry MacDougall? You really LIKE his stuff?

better. There's absolutely no realism, except in a few, rare instances.
Have you ever checked out his pics in NAN1? We're talking non-human
humans here. Ack. Gag me.

guessing, Doc', that Bradstreet and Jackson would be more up your
alley? Bergting (my favourite SR artist) and MacDougall both have a
very stylized...umm, style. It ain't exactly photo-realistic, but it
conveys the idea, and the mood or the picture very well, I think.

Bradstreet was good and I quite like most of Jackson's work. As I
mentioned, my favourite was Karl Waller.
You have a point, I guess, but IMNSHO realism has to come in somewhere.
Doog's art doesn't strike me as stylised. "Messy" and "ugly" would be
better words IMO. But as always, YMMV.
If you hadn't guessed, I can't stand modern art (when talking about
paintings, esp. ones of people). It's gotta look somewhat real,
otherwise it doesn't take talent, it just takes paint. Sure, Doog and
Bergting have probably got talent (well, Bergting does - I do like that
elf with the top-hat near the front of MitS), but still...
Yeah, whatever. You like it, I can't stand it. Such is life. :)
