Remembering a Princess

It's been 10 years since Princess Diana's tragic death. Her life was taken from her when she was finally starting to live a life she could call her own. Her son Prince Harry gave such a moving powerful eulogy in rememberance. She would be so proud.

What would art history be like without Warhol? Very Sad.

Here is the master himself painting a car.

Warhol was an avid collector of Cookie Jars. A few hundred of them were found in his apartment after his death in 1987.

These are a few of the cookie jars from his collection. They were auctioned off at Sotherby's. Such a shame they were all split up like foster kids.

Cactus Lovers

Look at these mammoth cactus! Truly genius.




One cactus lover wrote March 2007 - I'm a "tree hugger." Visiting Tucson wasn't going to deter me from the random arbor embrace I'm notorious for. The saguaro is so magnificent, interesting, undeniably loveable. I couldn't resist giving a little squeeze, no matter how unapproachable that crazy succulent appeared.

There's something about this picture.

1918 Bolshevik propaganda poster depicting Trotsky as Saint George slaying the reactionary dragon (Trotsky was People's Commissar of War, and organizer of the Red Army). Note the dragon is wearing a top hat, which the Soviets associated with capitalism.
