Cool art concept

I have never seen anything quite like this. I'm usually not an "art person". Don't like art museums. Don't appreciate paintings beyond "that's nice". But this is a new concept (at least to me), and I found myself paging through the entire slideshow.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

I paint and draw and one of my girls draws and photographs. 

I love seeing artists trying new things.

Some time in the 80s, I saw a photo of David Bowie with his face made up with what would have been shadows cast by a strong light.  For Halloween that year, I did my face the same way using purple color.

When IDP first posted this piece, I looked in vain for that photo and could find it nowhere.
