I can't do it but I love it

I am no artist.  I have minimal design sense, no artistic talent, and I even have trouble understanding why I can't wear black socks with my white jeans.  Ok I kid a little there, but really, I am no artist.  But I love love love looking at some kinds of art. 

I like art that tweaks my mind, that is beautiful or erotic or creepy or mind-bending or all of the above.  I love some photos of natural landscapes.  And I particularly love art and artistic photos of people.

I have a couple Csaba Markus paintings that I can stare at for a long time still, years after I bought them.  And now and then I run across the website of an artist whose work tickles my art bump.

Here is one of them:

Creepy/beautiful/erotic... kinda reminds me of the Csaba Markus stuff I like.

Her live journal is at http://i-seldom-do.livejournal.com/.  I found her from the oddica.com site, which I found via uncrate.com.

Have a nice day!
