Arta Lui Santani
Chiar daca nu sunt asa de inaintat in varsta, pot sa sustin cu mana pe inima ca jucariile, “de pe vremea mea”, nu aratau asa. Mare pacat. Daca aveti nevoie de ceva care sa va stimuleze imaginatia juniorului chiar va recomand lucrarile lui Santani. Artistul are doar 21 de ani (practic e inca copil) iar “papusile” (daca se pot numi asa) create de el sunt din alta lume. Personajele care prind “viata” in mainile rusului sunt de-a dreptul demonice si dragute in acelasi timp. Chiar sunt curios pe care dintre ele ati vrea sa o aveti … in cazul meu e detasat ultima si de preferinta sa fie si vie.
Graffiti
Graffiti in Toronto Graffiti is writing or drawings that have been scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface, often in a public place.[1] Graffiti ranges from simple written words to elaborate wall paintings, and it has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, and the Roman Empire.[2] In modern times, paint (particularly spray paint) and marker pens have become the most commonly used graffiti materials. In most countries, marking or painting property without the property owner's consent is considered defacement and vandalism, which is a punishable crime. Graffiti may also express underlying social and political messages and a whole genre of artistic expression is based upon spray paint graffiti styles. Controversies that surround graffiti continue to create disagreement amongst city officials, law enforcement, and writers who wish to display and appreciate work in public locations.

Arta Lui Franck Graetz
Tocmai din Belgia, declarata cea mai plictisitoare tara din lume, se ridica o pata de culoare si umor, iar autorul acesteia este Franck Graetz. Ilustratiile sale, si aici ma refer la cele mai complexe din a doua parte a postului, mi se par pur si simplu halucinante. Fiecare spun o sumedenie de povesti prin prisma unor personaje de benzi desenate, ceva mai caricaturale.

Cartoon
Example of a modern cartoon. The text was excerpted by cartoonist Greg Williams from the Wikipedia article Dr. Seuss. The term originated in the Middle Ages and first described a preparatory drawing for a piece of art, such as a painting, fresco, tapestry, or stained glass window. Fine art A cartoon (from the Italian "cartone" and Dutch word "karton", meaning strong, heavy paper or pasteboard) is a full-size drawing made on sturdy paper as a study or modello for a painting, stained glass or tapestry. Such cartoons often have pinpricks along the outlines of the design; a bag of soot was then patted or "pounced" over the cartoon, held against the wall to leave black dots on the plaster ("pouncing"). Print media In modern print media, a cartoon is a piece of art, usually humorous in intent. Political cartoons Nast depicts the Tweed Ring: "Who stole the people's money?"

Lowbrow (art movement)
Lowbrow, or lowbrow art,[1] describes an underground visual art movement that arose in the Los Angeles, California, area in the late 1970s. It is a populist art movement with its cultural roots in underground comix, punk music, and hot-rod cultures of the street. It is also often known by the name pop surrealism. Most lowbrow artworks are paintings, but there are also toys, digital art, and sculpture. Writers have noted that there are now distinctions to be drawn between how lowbrow manifests itself in different regions and places. In an article in the February 2006 issue of his magazine Juxtapoz, Robert Williams took credit for originating the term "lowbrow art." Lowbrow is also commonly referred to as pop surrealism. Museums, art critics, mainstream galleries, etc., have been uncertain as to the status of lowbrow in relation to the fine art world, and today it has been largely excluded - although this has not stopped some collectors from buying the works.
