I decided to give myself a few extra parameters to make this a more authentic process of discovery and enjoyment in the playing and documenting of the "Greatness" i was exploring, they are: Preliminary Rules 1. NO Listening To The Songs...

I searched Google Images for "greatest work of art" and this one painting jumped out at me. It's by Rene Magritte. I remember when we went to go see an exhibit on him in 4th grade at the SF MOMA. I did this with pastel, it doesn't have the closest re...

Richard Strauss: Concerto No. 1 in E-flat major, Opus 11 for Horn and Piano. So, I guess it would've been better if I'd done the entire piece, and replicated it in a truer fashion, but I looked in my closet, and I couldn't find a symphony orchestra....

I don't think I can ever get enough Bosch--there's just too much to see in his paintings, and it's all so unusual. Here, I've "recreated" (um, yeah) his "Paradise." (More fun with Photoshop!)

The greatest work of art in the history of humanity is without question the female human body. I find that every woman's body is beautiful. Truly a work of art. I haven't yet seen a female body that was unappealing. I can always find something beau...
