The hat reminds me of Van Gogh, as does the paintbrush in the mouth (not that I've ever seen a painting of Van Gogh with a paintbrush in his mouth; it's just that there's a long-time rumor that he ate paint.) Anyway. Sorry for my rambling... Nice work!

It wasn't that he ate it, it's just that when artists back in the day painted they used turpentine, which they mostly banned after finding out it had highly addictive and eventually fatal qualities. It was very messy so you can imagine an artist that puts the brush in his mouth for a moment or paints while he eats and uses his fingers to correct the occasional excess paint can become easily addicted.
-Studied it in Studio in Art, he's my old art teachers favorite artist so we learned a lot about him.

That's good. (: I personally don't know a ton about art history, but there are a lot of people on this site who don't know what I mean when I reference Dali... *headdesk*

Wow, that's kind of sad, still not everybody knows the artists by their names, I'm sure if they could put the name to Persistence of Time they'd know. Just like Georgia O'Keeffe always left her signature off her artwork,saying that you'll know her work when you see it. Many people know Georgia O'Keeffe, but don't know her work. Which is sad and unfortunate, but she left her name off which diminished a lot of the value and made it harder to sell her work, so there aren't a lot of her work to be "proven".

Yes! But I like the statement it makes: An artist should be defined by style, not by name.

That was the idea! Of course it still makes it harder to prove copies, no one can perfectly forge a signature and usually that is the key indicator. Otherwise,you have to test the paints and canvas dates and even then it doesn't necessarily prove it was hers.

Exactly... But I don't think it should matter, personally. Art should be valued by beauty and design, not by name. However, it is annoying for museums and such.
