What ART do Louis Vuitton lovers collect? (The Richard Prince Inspired Thread)
- Thread starter LVMode
- Start date
I do my own art. I do manga styled CGs and I also do them by hand using coloured pencils, pens, and paint. The pix are at home on my other comp so I can't share 
I don't collect them, but I really like Andy Warhol and of course, Murakami.
I do have a lot of prints from Shag (the mod looking Disney ones he did)...mostly I like anything colorful and bold, though I do also really like Thomas Kinkade; I can stare at his paintings for hours.
I'm looking for a pic I took that has my Shag pillow in the background...I know it's in the back of a lot of my pics. The tag is signed by him as well, which makes it even more special to me.
ETA: a super tiny pic of it is attached, I'll take a better pic of it tomorrow.

I knew I really liked you.
Mark Ryden is breathtaking. Your "The Meat Magi", "Santa Worm" and "Rosie's Tea Party" are wonderfull. I do notown any of his works yet but that is going to change very shortly, thanks to you. I'm serious.
Brett Whiteley's "The Arrival" is brilliant. I have an original Whiteley that he painted in 1953 just after he finished he's art degree. It's not typical of his work but if you have been to AGNSW you would have seen his early portraits and mine is like that. Have you seen how much $$$ "The Arrival" has been obtaining at the art auction houses lately?
Your Jeff Koons "Blue Balloon Dog" is also TDF.
Overall your collection is nothing short of spectacular.
thanks! but its nothing compared to yours im sure. that Kelly sculpture alone trumps what we have. who knows what else you've got hiding there?
Mark Ryden is something else isn't he? the earlier Meat Show and Anima Mundi pieces are his best work. but the Blood series are my faves. oh just to have one of those original miniatures
"Night Visit" is our fave. my other artists i like are Constantin Brancusi, Julian Opie, Tim&Sue, Mauricio Catelan, Matthew Barney, Richard Serra, and Francis Bacon. if i had the $$$, my house would be filled with their work (and then some).
Here is some more of my work - felt like sharing some more (which I rarely do), this is really an awesome thread ~
is that you Kandinsky? i love how they're so kinetic. with those sizes, they would've been an astounding sight. thanks for sharing
Mark Ryden:
Cool! Unfortunately, my familiarity with Mark Ryden begins and ends with the album cover he did for Jack Off Jill which I absolutely love. Thanks for posting your Ryden pieces. It was nice to see some of his other works.
Here's the JOJ album cover. The album is called Clear Hearts, Grey Flowers, and it's excellent!

Wow. That's a huge compliment to me, Thank you so much
A lot of my work I try to keep flowing with multiple layers as well, so when one goes close you see inside as well as on the inital surface. The 3rd piece actually has twigs, branches, 1/2 used cigarettes and other random tactile objects within it. I smoked a lot in a short period to help that work along, lol...Orodruin - Thanks so much!
ArmCandy - I love JOJ - That album cover is one of my very fav's
I don't collect any one artist - I am drawn to black & white photography - mostly aerials of Paris. There's just something about the realness of it that I love!
deluxe -- you've got a fun collection !! the Ryden's remind me of one of my favorite artists from the past few years, whose work I don't own yet, Christina Vergano. I'll post one of hers and then a few things of ours -- it's probably hard to see the scale of the Ethiopian inspired nail/leather pieces -- they contain tiny coptic bound books (the size of the book in the detail is about an inch -- so they're small, shrine-like things) by Daniel Essig, a small sculpture by the grandson of Howard Finster, Michael, and some other folk people from a Long Island Sag Harbor artist.

oh my..... i absolutely want this:
i like how it combines African Nkisi with Christian beliefs. driving a nail through the Coptic Bible "activates" its inherent powers. the sunburst arrangement of the nails suggests this too. i love it!
