NSFW. That bit will be under the fold, so have a care. I am absolutely in love with the work of Samuel Salcedo. I would so love to have a tiny, naked man hanging out on my bookshelf, the question being, which naked man. And so much more!

I love work like this that is simultaneously realistic and surrealistic. These are super cool!
Are you familiar with Robert Arneson’s ceramics? Similar tone and quirkiness.
I don’t think so, I’ll check when I have a few moments.
