My Funny Valentine
Sweet Comic Valentine
You Make Me Smile With My Heart
You're Looks Are Laughable,
Unphotographable
Yet You're My Favorite Work Of Art
Is Your FigureLess Than Greek
Is Your Mouth A Little Weak
When You Open It To Speak
Are You Smart
But Don't Change A Hair For Me
Not If You Care For Me
Stay Little Valentine Stay
Each Day Is Valentine's Day

Franz Von Bayros (1866 - 1924)

For the existence of his highly detailed, exquisite erotic works,
Bayros had to move from capital to capital in Europe,
as the authorities banned him and his work.

How far does censorship go today?

This film was quite the
turning point in
mainstream
cinema.

Leviathan




Leviathan is a surreal comic strip created by Peter Blegvad.

The title character, whose name is shortened in the strip to Levi, is drawn as a faceless baby who constantly carries a stuffed toy rabbitcalled either Bunny or Rabbit. A pet cat called Cat is often around to give advice. The strip describes Levi's experiences as he crawls around a surreal and often frightening landscape filled with disjointed words and objects, which perhaps reflect the incomprehensible nature of the world as seen by a baby, but which also raise philosophical questions of interest to adults. (via Wiki)


He also created the World's longest grammatically correct palindrome:

Peel's foe not a set animal laminates a tone of sleep.

It has no running water or working toilet, this Mongolian-style tent, called a yurt, in the remote town of Seldovia, Alaska...

the mask of ideal beauty

"People have a very hard time loving God,
because there's no imperfection there.
It's Christ on the cross that becomes lovable."

-Joseph Campbell from The Power of Myth
