It tells me that you should never use the magic wand tool in Photoshop.

You've done well to get such a clear picture of something hanging in an exhibition.

LOL OK That confirms it. There is no requirement to have any drafting, drawing, sketching or painting skills to be hung at an artschool exhibition. In fact it may well be critical NOT to have any skill whatsoever. That way all the non-skilled can delight in just how bad everyone else's attempts at originality are. Am I being to harsh - nah!

Hi Marie, what I am alluding to, and Ocker appears to agree, is that this image may not be what is claimed... Happy to be proved wrong, but I suspect it has been cobbled together to provoke a reaction.

Cheers

Welcome to the club. I may yet be wrong in this case, but I have been taken in many times until other members have pointed out that I was being had...

Why would anyone bother?

I have long had the suspicion on WEt Canvas that a members get a second id and spend some time winding people up with strange stuff or outrageous content. But my mind does come back to - why would you bother?

This avant-garde artwork is clearly demonstrating that in the rough and tumble world of the mercenary (note: stubble, cigarette, machine gun, dingy bunker) there's still time for some fun with a bowl of fruit and a teddy (note: drag tuck).


I'd pay big money for it Laughing

Then it has not been a total waste. Have you considered trying art?
