Art Card Series

In the manga universe and the anime universe of Fullmetal Alchemist…?

I would like to ask if which among the ff. is set in the manga universe and which ones are set in the anime universe:
-light novels

Whoa there. First of all, technically with the Brotherhood season, the gap between the manga universe and anime universe is like destroyed. The original anime caught up with the manga and decided to take a different route, making their own plot lines. Since they had to release the episodes weekly. And then the manga (OBVIOUSLY) did not follow the anime, since the manga was the original original plot line. So Brotherhood is the anime that sticks to the manga. Call it what you like. I wouldn’t say universe, just cause they’re just separate plot lines. And it doesn’t matter whether my answers are supported or not, if you’ve read the manga and seen the anime, YOU’D KNOW.
THE POINT IS, there are no separate universes! It wouldn’t even matter in the artbooks anyways. The OVA’s are off of the original, just because they were finished before the Brotherhood season came out. The movie is a continuation of the original season, to “finish off”, telling what happened with Al as he became an actual human being, while Ed is sent off to I-forget-where. They aren’t going to make another movie until they finish Brotherhood, but that’s just a guess. It’d be rare if they were doing the show and movie at the same time, they’d probably have to hold the episodes for a bit. As for trading cards, they are like the artbooks, set in the FMA world. Since they obviously are not moving, it doesn’t matter what the plot line is, since there is none. As for CD’s, I have no idea. If they’re for music, then obviously the opening and closing themes. If they have dramas, I have no idea, given that I haven’t seen them before yet. Even so, they might carry a different plot line altogether. Since I have not seen it, I can’t support that fact.
Hopefully that helps.

Five Great Examples of Collectible Paintings: This Art Mimics the Economic Downturn

Internet art gallery DiscoveredArtists.com reports that art continues to mimic life and, in fact, in some instances mocks life.

A growing number of paintings and fine art photos posted to the online art gallery are themed around the current economic downturn.  The artworks range in temper from sympathetic, emphatic reflections on the plight of the common man, to critical commentary on corporate greed, and on the worsening economic outlook.

“We always see art that reflects the good times, but crisis, bad news and social and political controversey really seem to stir the creative juices,” said DiscoveredArtists.com’s Brian Walker.

It’s no surprise that contemporary artists who by nature are gifted with hyper-awareness and a natural desire to express opinion, are reacting to the economic crisis through their art.  

Along with creating new works of art, artists are culling their portfolios for pieces that reflect the recent financial crisis, and especially art that communicates their sympathetic and empathetic themes related to the common man with concerns about credit, unemployment and corporate greed.

Walker explains that “We search for talented independent artists and invite them to sell their work in our gallery, so we’re actually a curated site.”

But Walker adds that artists have “complete freedom” to choose the art that they add to the site, so the themes and ideas reflected in recently posted artwork are a good indication of what’s on the minds of independent artists.

And clearly, based on recent postings, the current economic crisis tops the list.

Over the past few months, in sync with growing bad news about the economy, a number of artworks related to the tragedy of business failure and high unemployment, and commentaries on corporate greed and Washington politics are showing up in artists’ galleries.

Fine art photographer, Robert Hicks, recently posted No More Credit to his DiscoveredArtists.com gallery. The artist relates deeply with the plight of small town folks who are affected by financial woes.  He writes, “I have been through financial failure in the 80’s when the oil business crashed and took me with it, so I have a personal connection with the images of financial distress, failed businesses, and decaying edifices that once represented someone’s hopes and dreams.

Hicks, however, continues with a positive twist to the tragic story of survival, “… I also connect with my images of those who try to find a way to survive in tough times – as represented in No More Credit - and find opportunity in the midst of the crisis – as depicted in Cash for Titles.  I understand the rocky road of recovery from financial disaster.”

Both photographs are part of a series of black and white images depicting the edifices or other traces left by people on the side of the road, inviting the viewer to imagine the stories evoked by those structures or other mute signs of human presence.  The photos are an invitation to the viewer to use their imagination and write their own story.

A completely different temper of the times is expresssed in Politicians on Parade by American Artist, Maggie Stewart.  This might be an artwork with a generally accepted point-of-view, but we certainly can connect the thought behind the painting to recent financial bailouts, and especially to the regulatory failure that lead to them.  The artwork is a small, but powerful 5″ x 7″ monoprint on copper plate, and is a real departure from the usual decorative artwork that this very established artist typically creates.  Clearly an inspired work of art.

Unemployment Line by South African artist Grady Zeeman reminds us that the economic crisis is worldwide, and is equally or even more severe outside the U.S.  The artist comments in a description of this artwork that unemployment is at crisis level in South Africa, and that rising costs for housing and food make prospects for many South African families bleak.  The large 36″ x 24″ painting is an original oil on stretched canvas, and is one of over twenty paintings that Zeeman has posted to her DiscoveredArtists.com gallery.  The artist’s mission is to raise awareness of South African issues that affect the lives of her fellow countrymen.

Corproate Conscience by Canadian artist Mark Eliuk leaves nothing to the imagination.  The artist makes no comment about the surrealism portrait because the title, and the painting itself speak volumes about his view of big business.  The 11″ x 14″ painting is available on stretched canvas as a limited edition giclee print, signed and numbered by the artist.  The series is capped at 250 and only twenty of the prints are available for purchase online.
