So you're saying that you will kill someone because of what they believe in ? Therefore, equally, someone should be able to kill you because of what you believe in.

Who gives a crap about Marx and >his assinine political theories? Communism sucks, d00d! It wasn't my picture. For all I care, it could be a portrait of George Washington made up of the words in the US Constitution. I'm not a Marxist - I just appreciate good art (which this quite obviously is). You're forgetting what Communism is all about - the basic principle was that all mankind was created equal, so everyone should have equal wealth and property. The problem with Communism was the greed of certain people. Communism was good on paper, but in practise it never worked. As I said, I'm not a Marxist (I prefer the semi-democratic state that I live in). But I like the art form. The composition gives the feel that the words he wrote represented himself and his viewpoints completely - you can tell so much about the man himself by his written word that you could tell what he looked like. I would like to be able to create portraits of other people using their written word; people like Arthur C. Clark, or Winston Churchill, or Martin Luther King. That's why I was asking how it was done. -- Graeme Porter -^-_ _ / [_][_]_:_ Proud owner of a 1978 /| _||_ v Pearl Fiberglass Shell kit | / \ | -=/=\\____//=\=jaa "I married Miss right, I just didn't know her first name was 'Always'" -- Anonymous
