Yesterday's question came from Steven who asks "If you had a time machine, what event in history would you most like to see?"
I really am not sure of what event I would want to see, but I know Berlin in the 30's would be a time I would love to experience - as demonstrated here by infusing me into an altered George Grosz painting |

Yesterday's question came from Carlos chulo_los. "I've really been enjoying your entries. I love your style of graphic design and the tongue in cheek approach you have
Anyways, since you've told us of the artists that have influenced your work, I'm wondering which current artists do you find interesting?
My partner owns a contemporary art gallery here in Seattle and so, through osmosis, I'm becoming pretty familiar with current artists. I'd be curious to see who you find interesting. "
As many of you have guessed, it's Kara Walker

Yesterday's question came from Robert low_fat_muffin. "Tell us about a piece of art that you love? Show it to us and tell us what you find beautiful about it - what you find ugly about it - and perhaps some personal history between you and the piece?"
That's a lot of question for one picture - but my answer is a modified homage to "Ceci n'ast pas une pipe" by surrealist Rene Magritte, because for sure This is not Ray as much as it is not a pipe. I find that both beautiful and ugly.
