Muhammad Ali I am the Greatest Cartoon

There is something so great and so terrible at the same time about this cartoon. The imagery is kind of cool and sound effects are great...Enjoy.

Jim Morrison is Satan

I guess you do learn something new everyday...apparently Jim Morrison, singer of the Doors, is Satan and the proof is in this video. I am glad we have people who have uncovered this important information

Shepard Fairly - Henry Rollins Interviews him


For those of you who don't know, Shepard Fairy is the artist who gave us the famous Obama image that we have seen everywhere.

In this video you can learn a little more about him










Salvador Dali - Ok This video you gotta see

The more I find on artist Salvador Dali, the more I like. This guy is over the top. Kind of reminds me of David Bowie on "Ashes to Ashes" video. I love the you tube comment on this that says, "if i'm ever rich and have no job this is what i'd do all day". Watching this made me more creative today.

Salvador Dali - Strange and Loving it

The thing I do like about Salvador Dali, is he went for it. He was totally committed at the risk of people possibly committing him. I am convinced he just got a kick out of tripping people out. What a great way to make a living. Here is a video of some of his antics

Salvador Dali Destino

Apparently unbeknownst to many people, Salvador Dali and Walt Disney collaborated on a animated piece called "Destino". I could only find a small clip of it on you tube, but I did see it a Los Angeles County Museum of Art in totality. It was the most amazing and beautiful animation piece I have ever seen. This clip doesn't do it justice, but it gives you just a taste.

Giant Doll Art

I am amazed at what drives people to not only think these kind of things up, but to execute on them. The work, coordination and vision that must have gone into this is mindblowing. The emotion of the Giant is amazing as well. Standing ovation!!!

Mark Ryden - Amazing Artist


Mark Ryden is one of my favorite artist. His combination of childlike images, goth, fantasy and traditional painting techniques are very cool. I would highly recommend checking out his site at markryden.com/

Jesus Toys!

What this world needs is more Jesus Toys.

Conan O'Brien and the Euro Guy

I don't know what it is about this character that makes me bust up so much...perhaps it's the "donkey" comment

Picasso Face Morph

Kind of a cool video of faces painted artist Pablo Picasso from his different paintings morphing into each other. It really shows how varied his styles were

Andy Warhol Paints on Amiga Computer

Andy Warhol, probably one of the great artist of our time. I was always impressed how used the available technology of the time, pushing art forward away from the traditional mediums. Could you imagine what he would have done on the Internet.

Pablo Picasso Quote


Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.

- Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso and the Golden Girls

Arguably the greatest artist of all time Pablo Picasso and the the the golden girls...I love this country!

The Search For Creativity

Today I did a google image search for the word "Creativity" confident that the first image would inspire..only to be disappointed. A sad day for the search....I will search elsewhere.



Banksy Elephant

I am somewhat torn about painting an elephant, but I can't help but love this piece by Banksy. Not only the idea of painting an elephant, but how beautifully painted and putting in the context of a house setting...super cool.

Inflatable Subway Animals

This is the kind of art that gets me very excited and hopeful for our future. This idea is just brilliant. Inflatable trashbag animals animated by subway air. I love the simplicity, how it appear to be trash, using the subway, the element of surprise. Bravo to Joshua Allen Harris!!!

Jim Morrison: On the future of music

This clip of Jim Morrison from the 60's legendary rock band The Doors struck me as interesting because in the end he makes a prediction on the future of music. He says:

"I can kind of envision maybe one person with a lot tapes, machines and electronic setups singing or speaking and using machines"

Banksy: Pet Store - Art the way it should be

Banksy does it again. He is one of the few artist out there that I consistently like and continues to suprise me. His pet shop exhibit is brilliant, it is everything art should be, humorous, artistic, vague, selfless and super duper coolio!
