Michael Parkes - He has studied deeply in esoteric doctrine of the East and the West, and his imagery is drawn from a range of wisdoms including the Cabalistic and the Tantric, but embodied in forms from his own imagination which are immediately accessible. Here strange beasts encounter mysterious winged women, good and evil fight out their immemorial conflict (though who can be perfectly sure which is which?), and in this weightless environment worlds are unmade and remade nearer to the heart's desire.
See: www.theworldofmichaelparkes.com
If you are in Amsterdam, make sure to swing by the Steltman Gallery and check out some of his stuff. It is perfect eye candy when you are stoned to the bejesus on some of Holland's finest.

With all the possible graphic posts on uber, if your gonna click on something while at work, a fucking legitimate APW should NEVER have to have a god damn *NSFW* attached to it. It's fucking art work. If your boss is so high strung that he/she is gonna flip out over some drawn breasts, you shouldn't be clicking on ANY image based posts to begin with.
Hell, if it's that bad... why the flying fuck are you on Uber at work...
-----------------
I"m inclined to agree with you, kk. But the thing is, NSFW is a courtesy so that people know what they're going to be looking at. I don't give a crap, and neither does my boss, but some bosses do. Some don't mind if you're derking around on the intarwebs as you work, but they don't want you looking at potentially offensive images. NSFW is a courtesy, not a requirement, and you'll notice that the lack of it didn't effect my rating.

Sorry. I realized the mistake as soon as my finger lifted off the mouse button after clicking "Submit".

My Best has the second one down on the left on a big piece of Marble over her bed. I have had to move it up several flights of stairs in the 15-some years I've known her. Because of that, I officially hate Michael Parkes.
