It's great fun to play with the search engine at MPTV. Type in a star, any star, and watch the photos show up. They have a great marketing idea with this one. I'm not ready to start collecting photographs as jpeg's, but the offer of a 16x20 fiber-base print of John Lennon for $750 is actually fairly reasonable, given the apparent quality of the piece. I like it. I wish I had the cash!
I'm not familiar with Luke's favorite, Tintin, but while I'm putting up links I should note a new companion. Also, it looks like a nice show with David Hockney is coming up on BBC2. [via ALD] I'll never forget seeing some of Hockney's photo collages on the beach in Venice, California, years ago. One of my favorite painters, Warren Criswell uses his own bastard version of Old Masters technique in his paintings, and it's perhaps the last thing I would suspect Hockney of getting involved with; his works always seemed remarkable in their flatness to me. But what do I know.
