Man, Design Toscano is THE tacky art source, I must say. I really want that psycho artist bust of Van Gogh! It is so weird, and sooo WRONG!

I couldn't agree more!

A friend of mine signed me up for their catalog, as a joke to offend my sensibilities. She gets the catalog too, and we each go through our copies, and write jokes on post-its, or highlight particularly hilarious descriptions of 'exclusive art work', then mail each other our commentary (she's out of state). I love the catalog for phrases such as, "Three feet of gothic ferocity!" when applied to a sculpture of a rather coyly effeminate gargoyle 'waiter'.

I might have to order that "God of the Three Pleasures" though.

Did anyone see the "Moroccan Monkey Butler"? He's wearing a fez and vest, and in the catalog, there's a tiki mug (just a prop)on the tray he's holding. It's in the "African Kingdom" section.
