 Yay! I finally have a couple Tokyo Kaos-related stuff for your computer! It's really lame, but hell.. atleast it's something. Here are a few buddy icons for AIM if you need them (I'll try to have a huge amount of them for download soon).                           If you have anything to submit please email me. And now I'll just let you look at a few pieces of art that I like, and hopefully I won't be infringing on copyright or anything ^_^  This is a sort of shameful favorite, but this is by Robert Cenedella. When it was released a few years ago (1995, I believe), it was extremely contraversial, because it hung out of a museum window for the public to see. In essence (so I can avoid flames), it represents how Christmas has become commercialized and lost its true meaning; the birth of Jesus Christ. I really wish I had a better quality version of this on my computer, but you'll have to do the way it is.  This next one is by an artist that I've searched desperately for some sort of print, artbook, poster, whatever... but to no avail. It's by Shimoda Emiko, who worked as a manga (comic) artist in Japan until she finally moved to America, where she went to the streets and began painting people of all differnt ethnic origins (this piece is from that collection). If anyone has any information on how to get some of her artwork, TELL ME!!!  And now comes a painting from one of my favorite artists (even though he's really shameless and unoriginal... actually, I don't know why I like him so much), Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema! Here's a part of one of his paintings (about 1/15th the original picture).  Here's a piece of art by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres which my Latin teacher showed me in 9th grade. Ingres has a knack for drawing females (and female clothing). To my knowledge, this is the only painting he's done that's mythologically inspired, but the dimensions of Jupiter in constrast to Thetis makes it seem almost like he's on a different plane then she is.  Finally, there's one artist that has inspired my imagination since I was in Elementary School. Personally, I think I could live without any artist if he was around... he's been a little overhyped and the media has had an eye on him too much lately though, but that still doesn't change his worth in my mind. If you want some paintings by him, go to dali-gallery.com. I'm showing you one of his paintings, though, which everyone should at least be familiar with.. it's the Le Torero Hallucinogene by Salvador Dali.
