Yesterday I learned that you cannot open Grooveshark in IE 8.  It locks the damn thing up every time it's tried.

My sister's friend renovated her basement to look like an art deco speakeasy, complete with 3-D Maxfield Parrish clouds on the ceiling!

He was one of the first to embrace mass-produced art as frame-able product people would pay good money for. The one I have (Daybreak, smaller) probably sold for under $10 when it was released. Quite a chunk of change back then but because of his fame thru magazine covers, these good-looking prints sold very well. Wiki says enough prints of Daybreak were sold to go into 1 in 4 households in America.
 
Wiki also tells us that Mel Gibson's wife bought the original in 2006 and sold it at a 2.5 Million dollar loss 4 years later

Also, his skies, landscapes, etc. were done in such a way that they were almost 3D-looking......but you can't tell unless you're standing next to an original.

I wish his stuff would go on tour! LOVE it.
