[coops]

Again it gives me great pleasure to post another gallery into MOARA. Flynn the Cat is a wonderful painter and I hope you like his gallery:)

[irishrose]

Wow, Katie, it's been a while since I've been in here...

These are awesome tributes to such very well deserving artists, Dali, Flynn the Cat, Someonesane, and BMCIllustrator... it's very obvious to see this is a gallery forum in itself! Great work and such a selfless thing, I think it's great to have the skills to be able to put this together. :) I feel like I'm in a real art gallery! :D

[Lima]

Katie, wow, beautiful. Flyn the Cat deserves this nice tribute.:eek:

[Mairzie Dotes]

coops,
A beautiful tribute to both BMCIllustrator and Flynn The Cat. It is so
enjoyable to be able to view and appreciate their wonderful works in
gallery display. :)

[Lima]

Robert Wade and its great art.

[Lima]

hey i had a little question.. is it a good idea to put some manga in it too? for as it is some other thibg that most of the people make
Iluminate a nice fellow... Here is your gallery and your beautiful art my dear friend.

[irishrose]

[RobertSWade]

Well, I didn't see that coming. I had no idea that management was designing a new room for me. And what a room it is!
Thank you Oriane and congratulations to Rio de Janeiro on being named the the host city for the 2016 Olympics.
Thank you also for creating a room for Illuminati. What an exciting presentation of the works of a unique artist and good friend to the community.

[silvy]

Dearest Katie and Oriane, another beautiful galleries for talented artists!!:)

[Canvasian]

WOW this is awesome :) great job to the gallery makers and congrats to the artists represented :) I remember finding this thread within the first 20 pages after its inception, but it seems I never commented on it. No idea why, because I remember being amazed by it back then too ^^ Walking through this collective gallery has reminded me that I have a lot more practicing to do to get to where I want to be as an artist^^

[Mairzie Dotes]

coops,
Wonderful gallery and tribute to one of our most respected artists. As a
new Art Rage member not so long ago, I recall that EB was one of my
first positive responders. EB ... if you are reading this ... "A warm hello!" :)

[Lima]

Maizie you are right. EB's art is really beautiful.
Silvy thank you my friend.
Canvasian very nice of you. Thank for your comment. You have a nice growing gallery. :)

[coops]

Another great artist and I really hope that I have done him justice.

[Lima]

Hey Katie this gallery is so beautiful. Congratulations Cripster. Katie:eek:

[screenpainter]

Oh Katie. Graham's gallery is awesome!!! A great tribute to a wonderful artist and all around great guy.

[D Akey]

Yeah. Wonder where he got off to? Still teaching kids I reckon.

Great tribute Ms Coops. Boy this thread moves fast.

[D Akey]

Yeah, EB too. Where's he at? Well, I think once he gets snowed in again he'll be back and this should warm him nicely.

[Mairzie Dotes]

coops,
You have just confirmed my conclusion ... the Sun ALWAYS shines
in Art Rage and on our illlustrious artists. Cripster's outdoor gallery is
a breath of fresh air!!! :)

[coops]

Well said Mr Akey but don't let us have snow just yet:)

[RobertSWade]

Two more beautiful constructs Katie. It's especially appropriate that Cripster's has that schoolhouse look. :)

[coops]

I used one of Maror's paintings as the backdrop for his gallery, I hope it worked.:)

[Mairzie Dotes]

coops,
I feel as if I have been transported into a lovely European setting while
enjoying Maror's wonderful gallery exhibits. Beautiful tribute! :)

[coops]

a befitting location to give testimony to these beautiful paintings. That
gilded, inlaid ceiling is just gorgeous. :)

[coops]

Pleased you all liked this one dear friends and so pleased that Bumble like it as her paintings are all so wonderful:)

[Aged P]

I already have a folder called Bumble Pics, but these presentations are so clever. When I put this as the top file it will become the new Folder symbol.

Well done Bumble and Katie

Phil

[screenpainter]

Fantastic! artist and gallery for Bumble, Katie. You did a great job on this. Thank you for allowing us to see so much of her work together in one place.

This is an open project for all those who want to honor another artist. Those who want to post a picture are very welcome to do so. Again thanks for your encouraging comment.

[pai]

Coop's as said by Robert Wade, you are a princess! Your enthusiasm is the soul of this thread. You nailed it, the forum has grown, not only in quantity but also in quality. Congratulations dear friend you encouraged many people to participate in this small utopia museum, which is also great fun to participate I'm sure.:):):)

[Lima]

Fashmirs art in Times Square

Jules you are a very special person and loved by all. Your return publishing new and beautiful paintings, new technical aspects and this beautiful gallery here in MOARA is simply a shot of encouragement to us all. Cool, very cool. Maybe other artists, new and brilliant artists who are publishing beautiful work, feel encouraged to be part of this fantastic adventure? Jules I want to thank you for publishing this art gallery, your gesture rekindle a flame, not to let this thread die.:):):)

[screenpainter]

great new additions Katie and Jules.

[Valerie]

Terrific work, love the reflections on the floor.

[byroncallas]

Jules, that a trip. Really well done. I don't know if Fahsmire has seen, but I think he'll flip. Great idea, well done. Terrif tribute to a terrif artist and cool guy. :):)

[Ann Timmy]

Thise are two stunning new galleries. Coops and Jules, well done. And contratulations to your two fine featured artists - well deserving of the honor. It is so much fun to come and visit this thread.

[Briex]

Digital produced art is not always understood by the world of traditional art traders and painters. When I started digital art I felt refused and so I virtually exhibited in London with my Gallery of the Refused, like Edouard Manet and his impressionist followers did in Paris at the end of the 19th century. Now I met ArtRage and all those ArtRage forummers not so long ago, I'm conviced that digital painting cannot be denied anymore.

Dear Oriane and Byron, I'm impressed by the MOARA MUSEUM. It's the ultimate proof that digital painting and drawing has won a place in the art world. Art history is written here!

I'm certain to make some contributions to the MOARA MUSEUM soon by creating my own museum gallery room illustrations. Keep up the fine work.

[Briex]

My first MOARA Gallery. Enjoy it!

[Jules]

fun fun :D

[Jules]

My first MOARA Gallery. Enjoy it!
Briex that is simply stunning.

I love this thread, you have made my Christmas all x :rolleyes:

[Fashmir]

...

I love this thread, you have made my Christmas all x :rolleyes:

Jules, I have to say you did the same for me. That times square gallery bent my mind for a few minutes. It was so surreal for me to see my art like that. Thanks a bunch. :D

[Jules]

hehe cool, did you spot Dobby? :rolleyes::D

[pai]

People around me always think I am not painting just "operating" or "using" a program. Feel happy to read Briex's words about digital paintings and this brilliant Morara Forever gallery idea. The latter ones are awesome creations. Great works again. :)

[Lima]

My first MOARA Gallery. Enjoy it!
Briex, your gallery is very beautiful. Very cool that you have taken the initiative to put it in the museum.

[Lima]

Jules, brilliant. Great contribution. Fashimir, congratulations.

[Briex]

You have arrived!

[byroncallas]

Briex, you're bringing some new life and new ideas to the MOARA. The subway stop is divine - and that little peek at you know who's terrific little piece of landscape is integrated brilliantly along with little hits of a few other divine pieces from the MOARA's fine artists. I think you should post your map in here too. It compliments the great spirit of the thread. :):):)

[Lima]

Byron, I agree with you completely. Briew new additions are really exciting. The map of the museum would take very well here. Briex, congratulations.

[Briex]

Thanks Oriane and Byron and others. Let's add the map.

[byroncallas]

Good move Briex. :):):):):)

[coops]

Well done Jules and Briex. Fabulous new additions to MOARA. Thanks Briex for including one of mine. MOARA WILL LIVE ON:)

[Lima]

A masterpiece: A work of art in the museum forever.

[Briex]

Indeed Oriane, indeed. Hear, hear. Must hang in the central gallerie, large, in the middle of the museum.

Btw way I have received permission from a photographer at http://www.sxc.hu to use her factory interior pictures for showing ArtRage paintings and drawings on the walls. So the MOARA will get extra galleries soon!!

[Briex]

[Lima]

Briex, thanks for the honor, and Byron Coops certainly will love it too. Very cool your contribution to MOARA; continue with unwavering enthusiasm.:)

[Lima]

The first MOARA Triptich. I would encourage the new members of this forum to post new galleries, or combined images like this Triptich. I pay tribute here to Marziedotie and Phil.:):)

[coops]

Great new galleries. Thanks for including me Briex:o and thats a brilliant idea dear Oriane. LONG LIVE MOARA:)

[coops]

Tonyjazz has done so many wonderful paintings and always comes up with something different. I hope you like my tribute to your paintings Tony.

[byroncallas]

Briex: I love your Gallery 23 Founder's Tribute. As coops said, "very tastefully done". It's an inventive setting. Your execution is great.

To your point about the founders and your "correct me if I'm wrong" query from the original Gallery post: Oriane is the principle founder of the MOARA. It was his brainchild. He introduced it and maintained it for many weeks. Oriane conceived and executed most all of the initial tributes. Oriane is the MOARA's fountainhead, its spiritual and material founder.

After a number of weeks Coops (Katie) and gzairborne (Albert) began contributing excellent tribute rooms. In time they took over most of the production of new rooms while Oriane more or less passed on the thread to the community. The contributions from Katie and Albert from that point forward were the lifeblood that gave the MOARA a second wind. That wind is still blowing strong with others now posting fine tributes following in their footsteps.

In all honesty, my single contribution was coining a name in a fleeting moment in a post that Oriane thought was fitting. He tried it out and it has stuck in one or more forms. This isn't modesty. I've been a champion of the thread like scores of other forum members. But the creative energy that makes MOARA what it is today are the generous efforts given by Oriane, Katie, and Albert. Albert's paintings are the ones that more appropriately belong in the slot that you so generously gave to me in the wonderful Gallery 23 founders tribute.

Meanwhile, it's fun watching the new blood and ideas you bring to the community museum. This thread is a treasure, designed for each of us to honor the others in our midst who inspire us with their creative contributions and good will. It's now taken on a life of its own. Thank for your new contributions to it, and being part of the community that gives it continued energy and life. :)

[byroncallas]

Katie, I love your tribute to TonyJazz whose paintings are in every way marvelous, not to mention Tony seems one great guy too. Three cheers to him and you both. :)

[byroncallas]

The first MOARA Triptich. I would encourage the new members of this forum to post new galleries, or combined images like this Triptich. I pay tribute here to Marziedotie and Phil.:):)

Terrific idea Oriane, and a great beginning: All kinds of new ideas popping up all over the place. :)

[RobertSWade]

Brilliant idea to add the AR 2.5 interface. :)

[coops]

Well said Byron, It was Oriane's thrilling and generous idea, I was just his assistant and was honoured to be so. I can remember how thrilled I was when I first saw my own gallery in Moara and I just want others to have that feeling too. So I say again LONG LIVE MOARA. (sorry if I am getting boring say it lol):) ps. glad you liked tony's gallery

[coops]

I really wanted to put this gallery in as a New Year's present for Evart. She is such an active member of the forum and such a lovely lady, its my 2010 present to you Evart. I hope you like it.:)

[Evart]

Oh:eek:, thanks so much Katie! I'm so grateful you thought to add me in. I can't thank you enough. I love each and every one of the artists here at AR forum, and I'll never forget the kindness you have shown me this year in 2009! Thank you all. :) :D

[Sketchism71]

Oh:eek:, thanks so much Katie! I'm so grateful you thought to add me in. I can't thank you enough. I love each and every one of the artists here at AR forum, and I'll never forget the kindness you have shown me this year in 2009! Thank you all. :) :D

I second that Evart! This is a very unique reprieve from the rest of the internet that seems to bit a bit hostile at times!

Wonderful work Coops on the latest galleries. I continue to be amazed at the beauty within this thread!

[Lima]

Evart you surely deserve this tribute.:):):) Coops:):):)

[coops]

This forum is the best on the net. True friends even though miles apart, art brings us all together. :)

[byroncallas]

Katie, such a beautiful presentation of Evart's wonderfully alive, communicative and evocative work. I think you nailed it. And Evart, it is SUCH a great treat seeing your work presented here in the MOARA. Your art is rich, fun and often deeply compassionate, a fitting selection of images to represent the spirit of the MOARA community as we close out 2009 and look towards new inspirations in 2010.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

[Jules]

Hee hee- I did spot dobby. You pulled that one out of a time machine. :D

:D heheh...

[RobertSWade]

45 pages and still going strong! Amazing! :eek:

[Jules]

After some time I decided to return for my house … first saw Jonh’s painting than I saw Sketch reading an updating of the ArtRage. The night it was falling with some magic exhibition of colors. So that I approached my house there I saw the poster of the exhibition of Jules.




hehehe thats brilliant lol... :eek::D

[Lima]

Jules, Hee hee- I did spot dobby.:p:p:p

Excuse my ignorance, who is Dolby?:p:p:p:p:p

Robert:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

[Jules]

featuring Oriane Limas art :D

[Lima]

Recognize yourself:)

[byroncallas]

Jules: Orian's gentleman's room is great fun and really well done. I especially like how you have used his famous chess painting as a rug - a spot on little conception for this wonderful creation. Great job.:):):):cool:

Oriane, you're a tricky guy with those two new "do you know who". Great display.

[Sketchism71]

Jules that Gentlemans room is very cool! Reminds me of work from Levent.

Oriane, I do believe the one on the left is an original Swade painting from 2009 (he he I can say that now:rolleyes:). The one on the right... I have my scouts out researching:D

orianelima,
This gallery is a dazzling celebration of admiration and acknowledgement
of the boundless talent that shines here. Can't imagine the time and
dedicated effort it took to organize and create this thread ... a most
sincere and celebratory way to begin the new Art Rage year of 2010.
You are quite amazing and THREE CHEERS!!! :) :) :)

Amazing additions since my last visit. Briex... amazing additions. Great to have such a talent aboard the project. The urban artist galleries are quite amazing. Katie... Jules. Oriane.... wonderful. It is a treasure of a thread.
Katie you are the amazing backbone of the project who has poured her heart out to so many artists... and been the prolific workhorse of the project... you have truly done an amazing thing for so many artists. Thank you so much for taking over the work load and made it such a labor of love. :)

Dear Sketch,,, Dear Sketch, ,,, Dear Sketch,,, goosebumps on goosebumps times 10!!! what a wonderful contribution!!! hardly words to say what a good thing you have done, so enjoyable!!! was that Billy Holiday??? beautiful!!! almost unreal!!!:)

[byroncallas]

Repeated from the main gallery thread:

Eddie, the update with the whole MOARA is an extraordinary visual contribution to our community. In a little over seven minutes one gets a visceral experience encompassing tens of thousands of hours of thought, contemplation, practice, hard work, struggle, fun, brushstrokes, digital clicks and final elation that give rise to the creative output of thousands of creative journeys. It's a monumental "summing" tribute to ArtRage, The MOARA, and all the artists young and old, novice and pro and everywhere in between who contribute to the vitality of this forum community through their engaged and engaging creative output and thoughtful conversation.

You did good old friend. If I had a thousand thumbs they'd all be up. The two I've got lifted up high are terribly insufficient expressions to say how much I appreciate both your effort and the result. Yo Eddie - great great job. :):):)

[Jester2001]

Thank you Sketch and all the members of the AR community for creating this video. It was wonderful to see so much creativity in such a brief amount of time.

[Greeneyes]

What a wonderful job everyone did.I loved each and every gallery that was done.

[Lima]

I reafirm all the comments made. The feeling of joy and fulfillment is complete. Your enormous and painstaking work has shown what we all would like to see: a general human vision, complete and professional, showing the MOARA. Without doubt, a great endeavor.



You showed us all the brilliant person you are. Only someone with the sensibility of a great artist, would be able to organize and produce this tribute.

[Lee]

Dear Oriane, Thank You again and again!! and Coops and GS and, well, all the others that construct these MOARA Galleries , what great architechts they all are, Sketche's beautiful tear-or-two video presents his vision set to lovely music of the soup-to-nuts AR artists, nuts talk amoungst yourselves;) ,, hope this never gets lost in the shuffle:)xox

You know what funny is about this HUGE picture. Originally there was a Camel Cigarette ad behind my MOARA promotion. By coincidence I found a YouTube video today, taken in 1964, with this same building and billboard!

Look at this video and about at 2:05 you see the Camel ad.

Enjoy!

[Jules]

I hope you like this one , I admire Al's enormously. I think its the colour and the subjects that do it for me. Anyway hope you like my little tribute to him

[D Akey]

Wow, Ms. Coops. Look at you with the clever reflections. They add so much.

I agree that Alkratzer got an arresting color sense. Walking into this gallery room I feel like there's got to be a pot o' gold around here somewhere.

Great tribute. :):):):):)

Oh man. . . what a hysterical platform for the traveling art picture show, halle' halle'. Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies and everyone goes, everyone knows Valerie's Art Picture Show. . . Hallelujah. . . Can I get a Witness, Robert! . . .But I digress

Valerie, your stuff looks really cool displayed in the open sunlight like that. The good news is that it will never fade so long as you NEVER leave the museum. . . (or was that a Shangri La?) Well no matter. It's cracking good. :):):):):)

Well done Ms. Coops yet again! You're the glue. . . :):):)
