I've seen the work of both Picasso's.
Both suck, although Pedro's does serve the purpose of encapsulating some obscure wordage.
Pedro should be proud. Always finishes last, yet still gets a "participation" award.
Atta boy, Attaman, you.....rock.  :-)
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Perhaps I should also explain Atman's screen name.

"Atman" is a Hindu state of being, or consciousness.

"Atman" is also the brand-name of a line of women's lingerie and scents hawked by former athletic great Bill Russell; a brand that was a big advertiser in a women's fashion magazine where Atman in his younger days was a proofreader (or something).

Atman alleges himself to be fond of eastern and southern Asiatic religions, but of course lacks the cerebral capacity to truly understand them.  A Sir Christmas Humphreys, he's not.

So it's reasonable to conclude his screen name's based upon the second.

Thumbing through the bra and panty adds, was not proofreading.   :whistling:

Oh now.  I don't think his art is that bad.  It looks pretty good to me; tons better than I could do.

As far as caricatures go, there's nothing distinctive about his (i.e., no distinctive "Atman touch"), but still, they're good caricatures.

On the wall above this computer is a framed chalk-drawn caricature of myself, franksolich in the socialist paradises of the workers and peasants, a Belomar Kanal cigarette clenched between the teeth; it's an excellent caricature, and I believe Atman could do it just as excellently.

I wish I could post it, but it's w-a-a-a-a-a-y too big to scan.

McGraths eternally stupid condition will always be summed up by the thread where he bragged how bright he was for flying from Connecticut to Baltimore because he needed a long 3 hour layover to rest a broken leg.
From there he flew to Orlando I believe.
The flight from Baltimore to Florida was all of a half hour shorter then a non stop from Connecticut was.

How about the time--I believe it was you, sir, who pointed it out--Atman boasted about getting tickets for some "sold-out" concert in "rural" Connecticut, and as it turned out, there were still plenty of tickets, and for good seats, too.

One can't believe anything a primitive says.  They lie, all the time, even about stupid little things where telling the truth wouldn't hurt.

Oh yeah the cowboy junkies or something...in an arena of a maybe 300 seats all but 250 of them were snatched up.
