  1. Of course I know Dali, but I see how my eye looks similar to luis bunel's un chien andalou in a creepy way. http://www.moma.org/images/collection/FullSizes/F171.jpg

  2. D-

    All very cool artist. Yoon Lee I probably related to the most. I couldn't find any of Alix's work, just some youtube videos. Wim Doyle is just crazy, his website is absurd (in a good way), I think this artist E-boy created it for him, check E-boy out here [ http://hello.eboy.com/eboy/index.php ]

  3. I can't find Kara Walker's coffee works, just her cut outs.

  4. sorry r, i couldnt find them online...i saw them in person in nyc a while ago. check out victor hugo coffee drawings though, they are v. cool.

    wim delvoye is pretty amazing in a bad boy/brilliant way. check out cloaca:http://www.cloaca.be/machines.htm
