OK I have to lay down smack here

AsylumArt is supposed to be for/ about art that us peeps at the asylum create, be it music, 2D art, computer art, whatever, as long as we make it.
Unless F. Leo Hunter is a poster here, this thread belongs in sensory overload.

and since he is not, this thread is gonna be moved.

Thanks for playing.

F. Leo Hunter is a painter. That's why I put it in "Asylum Art." It makes sense to put a thread requesting information about a PAINTER in a thread about ART and not about MUSIC.

as we discussed in chat (I'm just saying this for everyone else's benifit) Sensory Overload is for ALL media. not just music or TV.

Art is considered a means of communication, thus it is media.

AsylumArt was created as a forum for those of us who make art as a place to show and get feedback. It's origional intent was to be like a gallery. All threads pertaining to art that us members make or questions/comments/useful info about how we can make art stays in AsylumArt.

If a thread contains images that do not belong to a member, it gets moved to IOD.

If a thread has questions about an artist that is not a member, it gets moved here to Sensory Overload.

that is the shiznit.

I've asked that the AA FAQ be put up, it was removed during the re-vamp, so hopefully all questions will be answered before we have to move threads again..

and thar ya ar!

I had originally thought about posting it in SO, but when you read the general run of SO it is a forum for music, TV, and movies. It's the vibe it gives off. Not a very artsy place.

I felt I would get a much better response in Asylum Art as I was asking a question more suited to the likes of those who frequent that forum. And since you yourself are a painter and went to art school I figured you would have heard of the bloke, or one of the fellow art fans in that forum would have.

I was thinking of the subject at hand and not the content of the post. Like I said, wouldn't it make more sense to ask an art related question in a forum that gives off an art vibe and not a forum that gives off a movie vibe?

Although it seems that either way it would have been better if I had asked a brick wall about F. Leo Hunter.

Google is your friend


http://ronaschneiderprints.com/C19_HunterCapeBreton.htm

looks like he did etchings back in the 19th century.
this was all I could find.

if I were you, I'd check the library. Better still, go to your local art college and check there.

Google was not my friend in this case. I had tried Google before and it was about as helpful as a parapalegic whore giving handjobs.

this is why you need to go to your library,

look him up, or look up etchers who lived in the 19th century around upstate nyc.

you're asking about a fairly obscure person here (which most dead artists are), the only time you're gonna find any info is if someone is selling a print apparently. The only people who would know anything about this person on the top of their heads would be art history majors who have an interest in that subject.

life is not so easy when you want obscure info

now away to the library with you!

why do you wanna know about this guy anyway?

Someone over on another forum wanted to know a bit about him because he got an F. Leo Hunter etching from his mom or something but was having terrible luck finding anything out about him.

I was doing a favor.
