About my design

Well, I'm not sure if this is entirely factual, but I heard that Van Gogh used to suck on the ends of his paint brushes all the time. Well, the paint he used was lead-based and one of the symptoms of lead poisoning is seeing halos around lights, so in reality, the amazing creation "Starry Night" is a product of the side effects of lead poisoning. I figured I'd pay a tribute to Van Gogh and submit something of mine here, let me know what you think!

i dunno if it's factual that Van Gogh had arms protruding from his stomach either.

Interesting concept, substandard execution. You could have done a lot more with this...

The only way one can tell it's Van Gogh is the ear, you could make the pic look more like him. plus it just looks like the light bulb is on not that Gogh can see it with swirls around it. Plus I think that that may have been true but the fact is that was Gogh's style, he didn't just do swirly lights, he did swirly skies to show wind and swirly trees and all sorts. - I'm sure a lot of artists sucked the ends of paintbrushes used for lead based paints and they didn't all paint like that.

hm.. wouldn't you only get poisoning if you sucked on the brushy part?
