Ughhh! Whatever happend to human decency...
More junk the world can do without!
Indonesian artist Ronald Manullang supposedly wants his disturbing art to be viewed as a form of punishment, making fun of Hitler.
Really? Anyone else see a point in that?
He should also be forced to permanently wear a clown suit with a note attached to his back saying "I'm not funny, but feel free to make fun of me for being a dunce", and he must share his jail cell with Ahmadinejad.

Hey did you know that the letter "N" has a spiritual meaning in Sufi philosophy?
Well, neither did I till I stumbled upon the works of Moroccan artist Hakim Ghazali, who has dedicated an entire collection to the letter "N" = "ن", titled "For the Love of Noon" (as the letter is pronounced in Arabic), combining mixed-media and Arabic calligraphy.
Ghazali's artwork has been showcased in many countries and received numerous awards.

Out of the shackles of hatred, terror and violence that currently seem to keep Islam locked down in a firm stranglehold, something entirely different and cool seems to be breaking free spontaneously.

Hey, who says you can't have Halloween all the time?

"True You"
(Amir Normandi photo / October 16, 2008)A cropped version of Iranian-American photographer Amir Normandi's "True You" shows a nude woman holding a mirror and paint roller in front of her face. The eyes of a veiled woman appear in the mirror. Normandi specializes in provocative photos of women wearing hijabs to protest the forced veiling of Muslim women. Residents were offended when this photo was placed in the window of the Pilsen Together Chamber of Commerce at Ashland Avenue and 18th Street. Normandi objected when the chamber placed a covering over the woman's breasts and he removed his work from the gallery. The artist later agreed to return the photo for exhibit in a less visible area. He sparked outrage in 2005 at Harper College when some Muslim students objected to his photos.
