    I just purchased "Elysium" from his site and it's now hanging above my alternators. It's flanked by two of his other pieces from the Norton Anthology series.

    This guy...OMFG. Funniest, most awesome, incredibly creative artist to capture the geek/nerd/dork subculture. I love 'em.

    I've always loved his Law & Order ones from a few years back.

    Those are fairly awesome, to say the least. I also enjoyed the Duke boys in a cave painting.

    I absolutely love this one. I considered using it as one of the two small prints I have flanking "Elysium," but I decided to use his full-color paintings instead.

    That dude from Law and Order looks so absolutely befuddled about why he's playing Transformers with a bunch of kids. Sooo hilarious. :lol
