Psychology researchers have suggested that if you grew up on black and white TV, you are more likely to dream in monochrome than people who have watched color TV all their lives. Dundee university psychology student Eva Murzyn studied data on the color (or lack-thereof) of people's dreams dating bac... More.

By subjecting nationalist toad Nick Griffin to the Two-Minute Hate, the U.K.'s media establishment turns a fool into a victim. His dismal performance on the BBC's Question Time would have been satisfying were it not for the hand-wringing hostility that turned it into a circus. Coming next to Britai... More.
Let's start this off with a quick clarification. When I say "LED light", I'm not talking about the nifty, little blinky things that are frequently part of the ingredients list in Make projects. I'm talking about the Big Show: An LED light that can replace the incandescent bulbs and/or CFLs you have ... More.
The cellphone business is patented up to its eyeballs. Dumped at ground zero in the wasteland of owned ideas, newcomers typically have to pay as much as ten percent of sales to the old guard.

Perhaps it should be noted that "Adele Lack" is a fictional character from Charlie Kaufman’s new film, "Synecdoche, New York".
BUNT @1, Yes, I suppose I should note that directly in the post. It's part of the whole thing. : )
Looks great. But I don't find the sneak preview pictures when I follow the link, only a short article and a single image on top. Is there a bigger image gallery?
SEKINO @3, The clickable images are at the top of my post. I clarified.
Adele Lack = Alex Kanevsky in miniature!
His work can be found at www.somepaintings.net
Also should be noted that the Montalban is right around the corner from the ArcLight Hollywood one of the theaters where "Synecdoche, New York" opens this Friday. Makes for a fun post-film experience.

I worked at a company that made tiny LCD screens for viewfinders and projectors, so I can relate to these images pretty well - they are about the same size!
I find a certain irony in the instruction to "click the images above to see them larger".
Hanging them on the wall to display them seems pointless. The gallery should have had a series of microscopes so people could actually see the paintings.

In this economy, I don't think it's wise to cut in on the magnifying glass market.
Piss one of those magnifying glass salesmen off and before you know it, they are using a magnifying glass to slowly burn a hole in the back of your head.
Given the show's genesis as part of the film's PR campaign, I suspect the paintings are, themselves, pointless as anything other than a synecdotal gesture.
