| Description My name is Landon Erp I live in Indianapolis Indiana, I work for a Document Management company.
I've read all of Rand's fiction (my favorite being Atlas Shrugged) most of her nonfiction and I've considered myself an Objectivist since 2002, favorite branch of discussion tends to be aesthetics.
I am a huge comic fan with some of my favorites being Steve Ditko, Will Eisner, Frank Miller, and newer clean realistic style adventure artists such as Phil Jimenez, Bryan Hitch, and Alex Ross. I'm in the process of developing a comic for self publication but the process has been slow due to a number of factors

Art:
Motive Force
Bryan Larsen
I won't belabor Larsen's talent here, given the number of his works already on this site! But I had to post my other purchase. I will say that my favorite part of this painting (among many) is Dagny's hand on the blue-green rail. So much is contained there, and it clearly, beautifully says "mine." I also like the countryside behind, because it's no... (See the whole comment)

On Art
by A. Robert Malcom
One of the problems in dealing with the issue of aesthetics is that, from the philosophical standpoint, it has been considered the least of the branches of philosophy - this, despite the fact that it is personal, that is to say, individualistic, not tribalistic, and thus really the most important of the sibling of...
