A genre most admirably rendered
CooperToons, like all artists striving for perfection, welcomes comments and suggestions. Whether it's a misguided statement that a caricature of Che Guervara looks like Jimi Hendrix, that a rendering of a sleeping feline looks like "a turd with ears", or even if a bronze cast of juvenile bovine looks like "two turds with ears", all communications from CooperToons fans are most welcome.
But one persistent and worrying criticism is that CooperToons' approach to art is too flabbly, too fatuous, and, yes, too "one-dimensional". There can be no doubt that at least some of these statements are at least partly justified. After all two dimensional art is indeed one dimensional art in two directions. So after mature reflection, CooperToons has decided to remedy the situation tout de suite.
To be triply sure that his art is not one-dimensional, CooperToons has therefore been branching off into the artistry of three dimensions. True, although one or two recent examples posted examples can be considered finished works, others are simply (ptui) studies, practice pieces, models for later casting, and instruction.
But now CooperToons has decided that a more sustained effort in the artistic genre most admirably rendered by the likes of Michelangel Buonatti and Gian Lorenzo Bernini is needed. Naturally such effort dictates a modification in CooperToons' modus as the intense labor required does not lend readily itself directly to rapid display or posting of the frivolous d'art on the Wonderful World of the World Wide Web. But it is labor that must be assumed. So to the curmudgeonly connoisseur it may appear that there is less work behind the CooperToons web sites with repeats of previous art interpersed with less frequent new postings, that is but illusionary. Instead the astute viewer ofCooperToons will see the new direction as it is, an opportunity to enhance the knowledge accumulated over the years to update the information from previous research. It is only by this way that CooperToons can continue its mission of bringing education and enlightenment into the world.
