It's been a while since I've been able to focus on my Art vs. Science series of posts, so I understand if you've forgotten Part One and Part Two. A quick recap: in Part One, I asked,

John Brophy, 2008
Pam over at Phantasmaphile never fails to discover wonderful, quirky new art. Her latest find: John Brophy. His "Madonna and Horsefly" kind of freaks me out, not in a bad way, but because I've been planning some paintings along this exact theme! But Brophy's…

"Are you counting the elevator boy?"
Thank you for introducing me to Nick Danger. I think I better head over to amazon.
One of my favorites, with a great album cover, (with the Salt Lake Gulls) was "In the Next World You're On Your Own."
I used to have the album cover (12 inch square cardboard used to house vinyl music) in my classroom with the "All Hail Marx and Lenin" showing. This drove my Secial Ed students crazy.
Hah hah hah... I haven't heard these guys in years. I used to love their albums.
I'm sorry. you've got the... plague.
