A quick note about my profile picture.

René Magritte made this painting, and I had seen it before, but I just saw it again recently, and I really like it. The words "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" mean "This is not a pipe", which of course is true. Once I started looking his name up, though, I decided to grant him this newly established award:

Tojo2000 proudly presents the award for:
"Best Artist that You Don't Know You Already Know"

Don't believe me? Check this out:

And here's another good one you might not have seen:


"My painting is visible images which conceal nothing; they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question 'What does that mean'? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable." --René Magritte

I like his art! For some reason when I look at the piece "The Listening Room" I think of that book "James and the Giant Peach"

This totally reminds me of the Thomas Crown Affair!
