Kinda get the idea now that the Hate-Filled Lefty‘s first name would be Spencer.

   What can be said about the art of Frank J? His use of color is minimalist, yet at times daring when the viewer least expects it. His mastery of the simplistic, while flirting with nuance and the romanticism of the old masters is something that any art critic would find stimulating. There is a clear influence of various “pop art” icons, and yet the application of that influence is subtle in form and often disguised from the viewer on first glance. While his art sends a clearly defined written message, his pieces also challenge the viewer to question whether the true meaning of his art is hidden in the bold, broad strokes of the figures he presents. Truly another masterpiece, but perhaps not rising to the level of some of his early work that created so much buzz and debate within the art world about the pretentious young artist.

   What amazes me about Frank J’s work is how much detail, emotion and passion he can convey with his minimalist drawings. He accurately captures the lovely SarahK’s delicate features and simply yet effectively portrays how her beauty is un-affected by her currently pregnant staus. His drawing of Hate-Filled Lefty captures his truly deranged demeanor as his tongue wags and drolls and hate pours out of every pore. You just feel the menace he represents. Yep, even I’m scared. But SarahK bravely, innocently and cheerfully stands her ground, un-aware of the actual menace Hate-Filled Lefty represents. But have no fear, Frank J is here! Weilding only a stick, he drives the drolling Hate-Filled Lefty from his bride’s presence, giving us all a chance to collectively yell “Yay! Frank saves Sarah!”

   A work of sheer genius, five out of five stars!

   This is obviously from Franks’ ‘Blue’ period. There’s an anthropometric quality in his line-work. Its method is unnoticeable. Franks’ art insists upon itself.

   Yes, but Proud Infidel, you failed to comment on what’s already come to be known in the art community as the “Shoo Shoo” panel of Frank J’s most recent offering. His work with the perception of motion is a bold new venture for the artist. Notice how the stick grasped by the artist’s own manifestation of himself seems to leave the canvas and indeed defy dimension. It is in constant motion, thus seemingly signifying an undying, never ending love for Sarah K as presented in the work.

   However, simultaneously, although her eyes are clearly trained on her lover, his eyes stare straight ahead into the sole of the viewer, never returning her loving glance, leaving us to question his true feelings.

   I think it’s pretty obvious that SarahK is “glowing” in this artwork. And Frank, with his top hat, looks like he’s ready for that new-father tap dance. Funny stuff, Frank.

   Sounds that dweeb liberals make when angry: “Gloppa! Wurgle!”

   Sounds coming from Frank’s stick: “Wappa Dappa! Kablinga!”

   Sounds from audience: Yay! (Roar…)

   Son of Bob, Infidel, I understand what Frank was going for here, but you two sound like uppity city boys. Frank didn’t draw a pregnant belly, he drew a large, undigested grapefruit.

   Not so fast, I’m thinking this is a counterfeit. The real Frank would know to bring a .45 ACP, not a stick. The downside is that the lefty soils his trousers right before his head explodes; it’s a mess to clean up, but for sheer entertainment value, it’s SO worth it.

   I don’t care who you are — that’s funny. Except there’s no white stallion for the daring stick-brandisher knight. Wait — is that racist?

   Sheeesh – you people know nothing about art. This is an obvious – almost clichéd – commentary on the agrarian revolution and its impact on the relationship among landowners, workers, government and the clergy. What a bunch of Philistines.

    Son of Bob: Good point, his use of a mere 4 little lines to convey the stick’s motion says so much with so little. If brevity is the soul of wit, then the soul of wit is brevity. Frank J’s work truly defies convention and challenges the viewer to evolve his/her perception of what he/she is perceiving. As far as Sarah’s eyes vs. Frank’s eyes are concerned, we already know Sarah’s way too good for him

    Marko: Since I live in a city, I guess I am an uppity city boy. In fact, I prefer “city boy with his nose so high up in the air that an Airbus A320 jetliner just flew in one nostril and out the other.” But don’t you think calling Pricess Buttercup an undigested grapefruit is a little harsh? Especially after Frank bravely leapt to her rescue? Me thinks you have spent way to much time in your submarine breathing your crew’s recycled farts, my friend.

    I may not know much about about art, but I really, really like this. Sic Semper Liberales!

    Frank Picasso Fleming !! Time for a NEA grant, I tell ya. The story is obviously autobiographal. I know that libbie from somewhere.

    That, Infidel, is a cheap shot. I think you’re jealous you don’t have a nuclear reactor. I think you should harness your negative energy on something positive. Encourage SarahK to use better posture. It can’t be easy carrying around such a large amount of fruit with so little support.

15. Proud Infidel says:
    July 27th, 2010 at 2:12 pm

    Of course it’s a cheap shot, Marko, I’m cheap! And yes, I am jealous I don’t have a nuclear reactor, or nuclear missiles for that matter. I think that goes for all IMAOists.

    I just hope Princess Buttercup never finds out her Uncle Marko called her a grapefruit. Talk about negative energy!

    I love the “Heisenberg hat” like from Breaking Bad.

    Not only that PI – I think Marko is accusing Frank of being unsupportive.

    Frank, can we expect this to be rendered on black velvet? I’d like to add it to my collection.

    By the way, we have forgotten to praise SarahK for taking the initiative to protest against taxes. Even if she doesn’t know where taxes live. Heck, I don’t know where taxes live! Taxland, maybe? And I just love her “Taxes Aren’t Shiny” slogan. Trust me, Republican politicians will be lining up for miles asking for permission to use it in their campaigns.

    A true conservative patriot, that’s what she is.

    Silly rabbit taxes live in the money hole.

    Actually, DamnCat, I’m accusing Sarah’s parents for their weak genes which gave her such puny bones.

22. Jimmy says:
    July 27th, 2010 at 6:03 pm

    I think it’s fantastic that SarahK would think of protesting taxes while she’s pregnant. What a trouper!

    On the other hand, has she asked for a peanut butter and pickle w mayo sandwich, Frank? If so that’s the cause.

    Now, peanut butter, bananas, raspberry jam and mayonnaise – that’s protest of a different color. Mmm mmm mmm.

    I’m wondering if the Fleming family will receive requests from any “Women’s Rights” groups, deeming his art as offensive and asking that this particular piece no longer be displayed. After all, it clearly displays a woman who did not abort her baby, and that to them is offensive and racist.

    Bravo FrankJ the artist!
    Bravo SarahK the protester!
    (A stick figure waving a stick is like a 3D person waving a severed arm – no wonder Hate Filled Lefty fled in terror!)

    “Are you running this website, too?!

    Actually that’s XKCD, by Randall Monroe…read enough of his comments and you see he’s a liberal who supports obama and often takes cheap shots at Palin.
