He said he has a photographic memory for paintings, and he can tell when someone has copied someone else's paintings. <br /><br />He's not shy about confronting artists about it, and he seemed like he would be intimidating.Mark Muratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562597698193306363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-49218522632885620072012-12-26T22:56:43.018-07:002012-12-26T22:56:43.018-07:00That is a pretty amazing cover... wow.That is a pretty amazing cover... wow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-36024403268023812812012-12-14T04:30:53.486-07:002012-12-14T04:30:53.486-07:00Thanks for posting these.

I'm glad I came back to the blogosphere this week so I got to see your posts. Anytime you post about art I get excited. <br /><br />And 2010 was a powerful movie for me. I saw it when I was pretty young and thought the spacewalk was the most terrifying thing I'd ever seen. It was the first time I had considered that space might be scary. I still haven't read the book yet.
