Dali had a wonderful warped way of looking at things....
I think if I had to 'pick' a favorite artist, it would be Keith Haring. It seems that so much of his work was eerily similar to things I was doing ten years before; I found myself saying "Oh my God, I drew the same thing in the 70's!" at a retrospect of his work a year ago. But there's joy mixed with any implied statement in much of what he did; he drew simply because he wanted to. I suspect people read more into it than what was there many times.
