Dali would've loved Photoshop.

I warned you I was off to do silly arty things. I'll stop now. Clicky picky for big, if you're into that kind of thing...

Woo.

I think that b3ta is surrealism, in part at least. Visual puns, unexpected juxtaposition, distortion of reality. It even has it's own iconographic symbolism in furtive, fluffy et. al.

Really?

I thought that it was just a collection of amusing work dodgers with an unhealthy fascination with fluffy animals.

But then again I am on some quite serious medication. *wibble*

And the surrealist movement

that's a bit unfair-

having spoken to art students, i'd say that it's not just the surrealists, y'know.

'twould be better

if there was a little cloud hanging above the phonebox raining piss.
and it was full of lemurs, crying.

I tried that,

but the lemurs got bored and refused to pose.
