Check it out. His stuff if *amazing*

two years after posting this, I'm still getting a couple messages or favorites a week on this. I think this and the bobtail squid get the most hits out of my entire flickr set.
Found this here, which was in turn found on a random LJ image site, on a russian LJ.

[edit] apparently this image in my flickr stream comes up as the top google search for "Random LJ image," which explains it's continual popularity with random people visiting my account :)
