This is a cartoon playing around with Frederik Goodall (British, 1822-1904), The Finding of Moses: oil on canvas, 60 × 45 in. (152.4 × 114.25 cm). I appreciate fine art, including nudes.

Blu Video @ kk.org

Hurk May 13th, 2008

I read Kevin Kelly's stuff every day at kk.org, and he posted this video yesterday by an artist named Blu. The level of creativity and patience needed to produce this type of artwork is inspiring and amazing. It’s worth your seven minutes of time to watch – great 21st Century art. Eat your heart out, cultural elitists.
