The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

HAHA. I took a shot in the dark. I'm surprised I got that close.

Me too actually, when I got back and saw that I was kind of shocked.

I know nothing about clothes. The GAP was the first store that came to mind.

 

[megamania]

We'll see.

we are the pessissmists here. It doesn't look good on you. oh and Ugh says Ugh which I think is 'hi'.

 

[jonesy]

I know nothing about clothes.

Oh the things one could do with quotes out of context.

Aurora, Goldmoon...

I have a picture for you two to view to see if it's up to snuff... I don't know if it's provocative enough.

To allow a double blind safety, I can email you a link via the board email system to a hidden web location for you to view.

I'll check in later this evening to see if there are any thumbs up...

(And no, Aeson, you can't give the thumbs up for them...)

uhhhhh.... what have I walked in onto.....?

 

[megamania]

Well, it was the hive that gave him a hand.

True but most of it is spread through out EN World. He like yourself wanders throughout the world.

 

[megamania]

Argh! Half the hive is leaving!!!

I'm thinking the collective that is my strange mind is all that remains.......

Really the best one I have seen is actually an Art History book. It looks at each time period individually (starting with cavemen) and goes into historical bits about the time, the art that came out of that period, how it was influenced, and then the architecture and furnishings of each era. It carries a hefty price but is a fantastic hard bound book with beautiful photos and makes a great coffee table book. Gardners Art through the Ages There are many editions. I have the eleventh edition. It has almost 1200 pages and I bought it for $110, but I am sure it can be found cheaper.

Excellent book. Jansan's History of Art is a great book also. No idea how much it costs now. It was 80 dollars in 1988....... 4-5 inches thick though.

 

[megamania]

I find it so. I knew that the different trends in art had a lot to do design wise with decor. What I didn't realize was just HOW INFLUENCED by religion and politics it all was. Especially religion, the church strongarmed a lot in times past.

It had everything to do with life so it makes sence it would alter architecture. Tall ceilings to make things look bigger and more "in reach with gawd" and so on. Even colors used were influenced by beliefs.

In some ways today is no different only today's gawds are rock and sports stars. Takes the mysticism out of it.

Wish I was here for this one.... ah... my wonderous work load.....

 

[megamania]

welp.... no sense digging up old stuff even if it is the only way I can "participate" in Hive mind these days.


Later...keep smiling..... that includes you Aeson.
