What? Another Artist Link?

What? Another Artist Link? Well, not so much as one artist, but two. These guys are not only great artists, but they're cool as hell. Look at all of their stuff, sukkas!

I take offense to that.

*sigh*

Four artist links in as many days. Should we expect this trend to continue indefinitely?

Double Post Guy - would we get a ruling on this? Can't all of the look at this great artist links be contained within a single thread?

correction.

four artist links in as many days that were all pretty interchangable (fantasy/weathered-look/tech/mech art). It could have all fit in one informative post, and let people respond with similar artists they enjoy as well.

That would have lead to a nice discussion, but oh well. Hey jc, how about another joking stab at the metafilter userbase? I can't get enough of those.

::throws down phonebook-sized list:: *thud*. There ya' go. At least two of the four sites are in this ring, and a bunch more mentioned in the previous comments are in here. Enjoy! (Note: 300+ kb, and it takes my browser close to half a minute to render the damn page...)

EndEffect used to be linked from Geeknews, back in the days when Geeknews was cool.

That's harsh, Matt. It's not like jcterminal didn't tell us this was coming before he started it. I agree it would have been better as one post, but now that jcterminal knows your objection I'm sure that he'll fix things.

Yeah, precurser rocks. For the past year, all my wallpapers have been his.

a) anyone who got offended by my 'joking stabs at the userbase' needs to lighten up. or go to dictionary.com and look up 'just kidding'.

b) i *was* going to start branching off into other sites, tomorrow's was going to be a great anime-style artist, then i was going to do a comic book artist... etc etc...

c) was anyone really going to object to me posting a link to a new artist each day? i figured it be like a finding a new plastic toy on your desk each day for a little while. what, people don't like distractions?

d) guess my '30 days of 30 artists' project here on metafilter is out of the question.

oh well. sucks to be me.

With the current number of members, even if fewer than 1% of the total membership post a link each day, it's far too many links to take in. Please take extra special care when selecting a link for the front page.

while we're at it, lets crack down on all these links to news articles. if I wanted the news, I would go to said sites and seek it out myself!

in summation: less news, more boring flash animations!
