    Art is good!

    Howdy folks!

    Generic Imp Question!

    How do people feel about artwork as gifts?

    If you'd like artwork, would you like physical or digital formats?

    And should it totally be a photo/drawing/animation of Chidi Anangonye shirtless (I'm catching up on The Good Place).

    ! !!!

    Not that I'd like that, I'm jsut saying, you know, as a servant of Satan that these are IMPORTANT questions that should be answered.

    You know how when you watch a show or something for like 7 hours straight you start to think and process in the voice and mannerisms of a character? Totally doing that now.

    Ok. Gonna go now.

    But that was a real question! you should totally let me know! Do y'all like the arts?

    I love art, although my massive critical problem is that I have a literal stack of artworks needing to be framed right now (and several other pieces still in tubes).

    I do lean more toward physical art, but if it's something that requires framing and hanging, then bear in mind that it will be joining a literal stack of art I already own that requires framing and hanging.

    I will add that I don't lean super toward pop culture art unless it's in an obscure/referential form. So like rather than just a movie poster for Ghostbusters, I'd hang a blueprint for a proton pack or something.

    Maybe we should just make a simultaneous "show me your house decorations" thread.

    Art is rad. Just knowing someone put a lot of time and care into making something is really special, especially now that I'm older and more readily recognize the value of time.

    I like art. Especially art that someone i know made.

    But not shirtless Chidi. I think it would just make me feel inadequate having him on my wall everyday.

    i really like art

    i'm a bit sad that it'd be a bit hard comissioning my younger brother to make some ceramic stuff, because he makes some absolutely beautiful bowls and plates and whatnot

    but he doesn't quite have his own studio or anything at the moment so it's a bit difficult

  • Lost SalientLost Salient blink twice if you'd like me to mercy kill youRegistered User regular
    Oh gosh yeah

    I love ceramics and pottery but they're so delicate to ship, too...

    my brother has mostly gotten his stuff around the world by very carefully wrapping it and then putting it in his carryone luggage as he goes there himself

    Art is awesome

  • CelloCello Registered User regular
    I love art but I have already basically filled my walls with as much of it as will still look tasteful and it will still end with me leaving some nice framed stuff at my parents' place, so it can only really work for me if it's fairly small

    But physical art to throw onto a bookcase (e.g. sculpture) or practical pieces (e.g. things to keep me from freezing to death) or ridiculous electrical contraptions, I can still make room for

    Art is good, but I'd have to go with digital unless it's a sticker or a wearable thing? I don't have any space at the moment for physical art in other forms due to a complicated to explain living situation.

    I also have too much art for my walls but fuck that, I'll just get bigger walls.

    Ceramics and things are also awesome though.

    I love art! Like my letter said, I like to experience a piece of my gifter's joy, and art is often a component of that.

    Physical art is good, as others have said, because it’s a conversation piece for visitors to the home.

    The best digital art would be something like a new avatar/signature... or a wallpaper I can use on my computer (especially work computer, so when I hook up to display during a meeting I can coyly go “oh this, yeah, that IS a good picture ;)” )

    I'm a fan of the various arts. Physical art is great. I get that digital art is easier to get to people and let people print it the size that works or whatever, but I do like physical art. personally, the one drawback is that my house is...strongly colored. haha. So People should generally be aware that an impish inquiry in to colors might be helpful, though I do have a good room for arts with grey walls.

  • Blackhawk1313Blackhawk1313 Demon Hunter for Hire Time RiftRegistered User regular
    Art rocks. Physical art definitely the way and the light for me, but mainly sculpted or practical stuff I can wear or put on desks/bookshelves, walls are a bit full. :)

  • GrobianGrobian What's on sale? Pliers!Registered User regular
    I also love art. If it's physical, then it should be office-friendly, because our apartment walls are pretty much full already.

    I love art but my wife has pretty tough tastes and my office that I keep "my" stuff in is pretty full.

    I like art, vastly prefer physical art, and have no place to put even myself right now so on its own it's not really practical. As far as art goes, one thing will always be useful to me is containment, like boxes or bags. I use a lot of them all the time, it's nice when they're pretty. If my satan happens to be an artist who likes to sew, paint, or sculpt, that would be the place to start. Or plushes, if you knit or crochet I guess. I like them and I have young kids who like them. My little girl likes to put stuffed toys down for a nap and tuck them in. She also loves pretty dresses, omg. She is 300% more likely to keep clothing on if it's a pretty dress.

    As much as I like digital art, it tends to get lost in the ether for me.

    And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn

    Well well well, it appears I have some packages waiting for me from Amazon and I don’t remember ordering anything recently...

    I will report back with my findings.

  • MarathonMarathon Registered User regular
    Wow,

    A huge thank you to @Blackhawk1313
    I opened the package to find many goodies.
    The Hyrule Historia
    A Blu-Ray copy of My Neighbor Totoro
    The Tomb of Annihilation rulebook for D&D
    A gargantuan red dragon figure (unpainted), also for D&D.
    A 3-way HDMI connector
    A large plush Luigi
    A copy of the latest book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series
    A handheld retro game system
    The Horizon Zero Dawn complete edition for PS4
    And the Spiro Ignited Trilogy, also for PS4.

    A few of these items were listed on the wish list for my 2 sons, who were amazed to see these items. Thank you very much Blackhawk, you were very generous and my family would all like to sincerely thank you.

    I think we aren't this year? People were figuring out who their Satan was, and it ruined it for some people. . . I think? I could be completely wrong, however.

    EDIT: Oh wait, I may have misunderstood. People were figuring out who their anonymous Satan was through the chains.

    @Marathon You are very welcome! I hope you don’t mind the gifts for the kids, I saw their were additional lists there, I hope what I got from them is acceptable for them, wanted to make sure they were included in the gifting though.

    EDIT:
    I’ll have you know though you thwarted my original plan, which was to include the Spider-Man PS4 bundle but I was too slow on the draw lol.

    I don’t mind the gifts for the kids at all, seeing them get excited is an added bonus. Especially since they were both holding the books from their wish lists today and I had them put them back because “Christmas will be here soon”. So we all got quite a surprise when we opened the box.

    I’m glad I got to the PS4 bundle before you did, you were more than generous enough. Cheers, and thanks again.

    I thought we were still doing chains, that's traditional, we just aren't going to get the reveal of everything at the end. So you can have ? > Goose! And it'll stay ? If my Satan decides to stay anonymous.

    Right?

  • PlatyPlaty Registered User regular
    I'm gonna do the first set of chains if people don't mind

    Right?

    That makes sense

    If someone can figure out who you are based off that, not really the biggest deal
