Today on Google search there is a illustration of a dragon by a friend of a friend, Lesley Barnes. I have a few of her pieces up in our flat. ![Screenshot_20190301-225002_Instagram](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/3/3b5702e2a2eb322b222117aa32919303523aa6c5.jpeg) ---

I would say those might be, pencil drawings or water colour or ball point pen but they are based on an original photograph. So the question is…is incredible graphic technique, art? Having an interest in photography I have to ask the question. Photography has had to fight to be accepted as art so should this technique have to justify itself too? ---

I’m in two minds, but on balance the “artist” in each case shows great technical drawing skill. Is mimicry truly art? I don’t think so but that’s my opinion and as fantastic as they are I wouldn’t go out of my way to purchase one. ---

I agree…it’s hard to criticise great skill but for me it’s not art, it’s a highly skillful facsimilie. ---

Very much with you and the Cobster on this. Art isn’t craft or technical skill, it’s something else altogether. What makes something art is a very complex question, and has fuckall to do with personal taste - but craftsmanship isn’t the answer. It’s much the same with music. I hereby give you a reasonably accurate sample of the sort of conversation that my ever-loving wife and I have when I play something in my car via my iPod: E-L W: This is just noise, isn’t it? It’s not music. Moi: It’s music, you just don’t like it. But it’s music nonetheless. E-L W: No, it’s just a lot of noise. Moi: All music is just a lot of noise. Whether you like it or otherwise is beside the point. E-L W: But it’s got no tune. Moi: Yes it has. It’s just a tune and a sound that you don’t like. Etc., etc. One could have the exact same discussion about art. ---

Oh and I was proper spoilt last week and was given this. A Stanley Donwood screen print of 2017 Glastonbury poster. Old Stan does the art work to Radiohead and a lot of the Glastonbury stuff. Cannot wait to get the proper print on the wall. ![IMG_20190810_105652_638](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/9/915f38034b85d5f57bbf0c4ddb22c8daf3cb916a.jpeg) ---
