    Calatrava certainly thinks outside the box. His wave design for the Tenerife Opera House is one of my personal favorites.

    Since I live in Milwaukee I'll field this one:

    1) Cool! that new wing is really pretty awesome.

    2) The first picture shows one of the hallways (obviously) but it looks spectacular without all that crap in it with the sun shining in later afternoon. Just bright white marble and those 'rib bone' style pillars.

    3) Pic 4 doesn't do the open space justice, its absolutely massive and gives a great view of Lake Michigan. #v

    I'll apologize ahead of time, but can anyone tell me who that is in the first one? He just doesn't look familiar to me...

    Also, that TARDIS one is pretty sweet... #starwars

    These are too well executed to be good velvet paintings. Part of their cachet , for me, has always been bad: 2) proportioning, 3)color choice and 4) perspective. #1 has always been poor choice of subject matter; eg, I once saw a badly rendered v-painting of Jesus and Elvis playing guitars on the steps of the Pearly Gates. Unfortunately, I had spent all my money on tequila and returned to the E.E.U.U. empty-handed. #starwars

    @lazyeight: Always try to snatch up those once in a lifetime paintings! I -did- score a painting of pimps and hookers done like Grandma Moses, but I regret not buying the Creature From The Black Lagoon in cheesecake style. #starwars
