    Though entertaining, the guests at Georges’ birthday would have preferred seeing a can-can dancer popping out of a cake.

    I would be glad to, but I’m currently all out of omnia. And I’m not sure that adding good omnia to that head will do anything but degrade the omnia.

    After having backed the Royals in the French Revolution, Georges was forced to take any job that a bodyless head could do.

    all have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist (known more as a filmmaker than a painter), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL. This is the first work by him used here.
