Wow, I didn't know so many people loved Zoidberg. I personally think he's an unfortunate blight on an otherwise stellar show.

Nice painting, though.

Fantastic. What a great tribute to a great man... or something. I smiled so much upon seeing this on io9, because Zoidberg's my fave character. Witty charm, awkward persistence with crushes, and an inversed knowledge of the human anatomy - what's not to love?

There's also this mosaic:

@JoshJasper: Because I was thinking of famous expressionist painters like Egon Shiele [[en.wikipedia.org]] who have a lot of portraits with this sort of scratchy, frenetic feel to them. It didn't feel soft or gooey enough to me to be impressionist. But I could go either way.

Why are you labeling this expressionist instead of impressionist?

Seriously, though, is it possible to buy a print of this?

Once again, the conservative, sandwich-heavy portfolio pays off for the hungry investor.

This is more impressionist than expressionist, though it could be argued that it is simply realist and painterly.

I can just imagine how bad a shellfish creature would smell? I like Bender's suggestion that he be cooked like a lobster.
