I disagree.
he might very well like bacon, but I wouldn't come to that conclusion via his sig pics.
always gotta be starting art shit.
just like if someone puts up a blurry, poorly taken photo as their sig, that doesn't mean they are likely to be a richter fan.

ah what-ever! 
it's a departure from his avatar and sig, but not a totally impossible one.

ah
well for a while i had a pic of clement greenberg as my avatar...
and my sig was a painting by mark tansey.
i like to change mine up. i also had the big dipper as an avatar and the northern lights as a sig.
his choices seem to be less varied than mine though... all in one genre.

well, I personally feel that a better selection for him would be HRGiger's stuff.
In fact, when I first saw his sig and avatar, I thought it was HR - but HR's stuff is better done.
his avatar and sig look like it is off of a site where some dude posts his stuff - not bad, but certainly not amazing.
so anyway, my sig shoudl be of my balls. scanned.

hey small, are you talking about the Francis Bacon (1551-1626) who was the son of Nicolas Bacon, the Lord Keeper of the Seal of Elisabeth I. He entered Trinity College Cambridge at age 12. The Bacon who rejected Aristotelianism and Scholasticism and the new Renaissance Humanism. The Bacon that rose to become Baron Verulam, Viscount St. Albans and Lord Chancellor of England. The Bacon who was accused of having taken a bribe while a judge, tried and found guilty, thus losing his personal honour, his fortune and his place at court.
or a different francis bacon?

it's a good one. i've never seen his work other than on slides or in books though. 
ope, you guys are above my heads on this.
i just don't get into that kinda thing. i'd like to think i could like it or get into art, but i don't and can't. i could never enjoy myself walking through an art museum staring at paintings. i could walk through a zoo and love it or walk through some type of science museum and enjoy myself... just not art... or history.
sorry small, but i aint diggin it.

no offense, but it might be that you never had good teachers or profs for it.
they can make a world of difference.
or hell, maybe it just isn't for you
