The making of “For The Love of God� by Damien Hirst.
I used to work in an art supply store and there was a woman who used to come in to buy her Pantone supplies, all the old school stuff like Pantone color paper, gradients and markers for story boarding. She used to always pronounce it PAN-TONE-AY. Like it was an Italian word or something. It's PAN-TONE as in ALL colors or all tones. Come on, lady.

And Then, And Then And Then And Then And Then (Blue), Takashi Murakami, 1996
More about one of my favorite artists of all time [Takashi Murakami]
An interesting way to have art served up advertising-banner style.
I really like the work of the artist Jake Watling (pictured). May have something to do with my current fascination with gold leaf. And that I just finished reading a book set in the circus. [Jake Watling]
The art that I borrowed (stole) for my banner is by a super cool artist Adia Millet. I don't know that name of the piece because it is no longer on the site. I copied it years ago and it must have since sold. Cute little bunnies worship a glowing globe in the darkenss. [Adia Millett on Mixed Greens]
So along with "everyone else on the planet" I made a Simpson version of myself.
