Seriously, the man had to be some level of spatial/visual genius to work through art like that. I can barely draw a smiley face let alone create a single piece of art that can then hold another image within it. And then reproduce that effect monthly for however many years.Originally posted by rufus View Post
I’m curious now when such a concept was first invented.

"One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

Wasn't he the MAD artist who drew the perfect little dog turds? And when someone complained about it being gross they were instead described as little sausages and he would sort of link them together? I'm thinking that was Al Jaffee.Originally posted by Kepler View PostComment
