Iv'e been meaning to ask you about your avatar. You must have known. Thanks for the info!

Absolutely brilliant paintings!

Finally! Old art that I don't find boring to look at. :D

Awesome stuff, man. Thanks for sharing!

Always wondered who did the painting of the yawning man and I love the Shhhhhh painting. :snap:

I thought i saw the Yawning Man over at the Getty. hmmmm

Awesome! I can't imagine how hard it must be to paint a yawn before photography.
