While researching postmodernism and deconstructionism, I came across Van Gogh's "Boots", which inspired me to do a speedpaint of my friend/roommate's DDR shepherd, the fentastic, fendacious, fendiferous Fenris.

Neat! That pic you linked too seems to be a painting by Lesley Spanos (http://spanosart.com/2008/12/12/gogh-all-the-way/) that was inspired by Van Gogh's "A Pair of Shoes", though, which was much more monochromatic... http://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/vgm/index.jsp?page=1576&lang=en
