Thanks! Dali can f**k off, btw. Like Warhol, he was a far better self-publicist than he was an artist. Blergh.


Go see the masterworks in the St. Petersburg museum and then see if you can stick with that opinion. 

Dali was most certainly a publicity whore, though. LOL

Also, consider this, as an artist is it better for you personally to achieve fame after you are dead?

I had the feeling that the 1st pic was 'spoofed', but I did'nt know that the 2nd pic was an original piece.

I tried to read that article, and it was absolute nonsense to me. Math =/= my brain. Cool picture, though!

Yeah, the E8 is really trippy/cool looking.  I too enjoy fractals.  Nature makes awesome art!
