Surreal Art...
If you like surreal art. Kinda cool...

http://www.adventix.net/blog/2007/03/18/unbelievable-graphic-art-pictures-by-rob-gonzales/

Art snobs who ONLY like stuff like Gauguin, Monet, Manet, Rembrandt, Renoir, Seurat, whatever, whenever...and who feel a need to lecture people....go away. (Hey, I hung at Swarthmore and Bryn Mawr in my hippie youth. I can spot you a mile away.) I like that stuff too but I have whimsy. This is for the whimsical at heart. So there. : P

3. Oh, I like them!
Especially the one with the waterfall turning into people. The one with the ships looks kind of like that Escher painting with the geese and the fish.
