  1. Great painting, I owe David Sedaris for my recognition of it though. As he used it for the cover of When You Are Engulfed In Flames.

    • Hahaha, me too. Well, I recognized the painting on the book’s cover… But when I looked at it now the first thing I thought of was When You Are Engulfed in Flames.

      Always a great read.

  2. was Vincent being wry or just humorous?

  3. Do you know Ensor’s ‘Skeletons Disputing a Smoked Herring’? No particular reason to bring it up, outside of its general awesomeness…
