  It's the "Z" - the way our eyes read a page, an image, anything - from top left to right back to the left and down, then right again... it's normal.

  (yea, I said it - "normal").

    And who would have thought those guys from long ago were doing UI (user interface, not urinary incontinence) studies?

    I love the swirly shapes in The Starry Night. This sounds bizarre, but when I don't wear my glasses and I squint, that's how I see most objects. I often wondered if van Gogh had similar vision issues and just painted what he saw?

    I have always loved The Great Wave, and am planning to incorporate it somewhere amongst my tattoos.

  I don't think I told you that Van Gogh is my most favoritist artist! While in Paris, I had my nose like an inch from his famous blue self portrait in the Musee D'Orsay. I think I came in my pants and cried a little-- simultaneously.

  That's very interesting. I never noticed, but then I've never looked at the two images at the same time. Thank you for pointing this out. It's the kind of useless information that I find important to know. No, it's not just you.

  When I saw them side-by-side without the red curve, I noticed the similarity immediately.

  Just to let you know, Vincent Van Go was acctually influenced by the Ukiyo-e artists, whom made cheap artwork for the poor living in Edo. And one of these Ukiyo-e artists, the late and great Katsushika Hokusai, is the creator of the Great Wave of Kanagawa print, one of his prints in a series based on Mount Fuji (notice it in the background). Van Gogh, infact, took a liking to a lot of Hokusais works, and acutally recreated them using his western techinque. Anyway, it's nice that you noticed this
