Zenster, I kinda like that one. If I get bored at work tomorrow, I’ll one up you again.

It takes a little practice, but if you stare really long and hard, then close your eyes and look up at the ceiling (preferably the ceiling light will be on), then close your eyes & look back at the monitor and everything will be animated in the most most magnificint 3-D, kaleidoscope of colors! Cool!

Or you could just take a tab :stuck_out_tongue:

How’s that screech-owl?

[sub](This one was tougher than most of the others. It is very difficult to “create” randomness.)

I went to high school with his kids back when they were living on a boat in the Berkeley marina.[/sub]

[sub]Wow…
I am in complete awe of this whole thread and everyone’s beautiful work.
Thank you Zenster, and the Pollock tribute is wonderful.

Silo, I especially love the irony: the anger smilie as the main support of the peace sign in ‘Peace (redesigned)’. Very clever![/sub]

[sub]This is wonderful. So many pieces listed in the souvenir guide, I’m never going to see everything. Hmmm, ‘The Scream’. Doesn’t look like the Munch I know.
Wonder if I have time for the Pre-Columbian room before the gallery closes?

This was fun (if not so cool as the pretty shamrock at the top of the page). Anyone know how to turn the purple confused-faces upside-down, so that the little question-marks form the downward-pointing “fringe” on the bottom of the carpet?
