FAUX THE ARTS: BUY PRINTS OF JAMES BARNETT’S MATISSE-IAN FALLOUT, HALF-LIFE LANDSCAPES
After receiving what he calls “an inordinate amount of attention in the last few weeks” after his ‘fauxvist’ Fallout 3, Half-Life and Team Fortress landscape paintings were featured on sites like, well, here, artist James Barnett has set up a new project on Kickstarter — the same crowd-funded site fueling Andy Baio’s Miles Davis chiptune cover album Kind of Bloop — to get prints of the art made for everyone who “blanched when I told ’em the prices” of buying an original.
$20 will net you one of the eventual prints of your choice (have a look at Offworld’s own high-res gallery for some of your options), $10 will net you a smaller original watercolor (“to be painted while listening to your choice of audio file(s)”, and $200-400 will get you an original oil painting (un-framed or framed, respectively).
If art’s not really your deal, but you still want to support the artist, Barnett’s also offering a home-cooked meatball meal for anyone in the Scottsdale, AZ area for a paltry $75, and, for $2400, you can buy the artist’s car, complete with “burned-CD collection of impeccable taste and hideous fake-fur seats.”
