I think its bad taste.

Sorry!

Sorry!

You aren't supposed to eat them.


I think it's cool. This is similar to still life and portraits of arms and armor and personages wearing and bearing them.

Also, I find some fire arms to be aesthetically pleasing, but that is personal taste.

I got that "WHA... I Don't Even?" sense too.

Then I realized I like the unnerving juxtapositions, but I don't consider these pieces glorifying the objects or promoting war.

In other words, I like it because it's very well done art that makes me feel uncomfortable about it (in a way that makes me think).

I like a couple, and I think a couple are kinda dumb looking. I was not particularly struck by them either positively or negatively.

EHAUEHEAU the joys of foreing language: making puns without realizing it.

But what i meant by bad taste is that i think it implicitly promotes guns as something good with the logic of "pretty=good".

I figured.

I don't personally view guns as inherently being good or bad, but at the same I don't think that something that is inherently warlike should be depicted as bad or wrong. And I enjoy how well made TOOLS of any kind look.

Yeah, we get your meaning. Coyote's just being an ass.  

To say that a piece of art is in bad taste means exactly what you meant. That it is somehow offensive to your sensibilities. In this case, promoting firearms.

However, I disagree with you, because I don't see that message, but I can fully understand that it could be taken that way.

i love them

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

My new favorite art!

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

In fact, I feel inspired

great juxtaposition


Still life paintings are always so serene
the guns add a rather distinct tone to them which clashes with your expectations

delicious
