Glad you enjoyed it! (Even if you're not Festered :p)

Festered - Glad you enjoyed it, too. "Pecker" and his other themes on gothic (or reversal of) birth are some of his newer pieces. I'm not sure that I enjoy them as much as his older work, but they are still brilliant and evocative.
"Hally Lou" (the singing Girl) that you pointed out is one of my boyfriend's absolute favorites.
In terms of his work combining tumors and robotic elements to his pieces, I am not as big a fan of these. I think I prefer his more subtle pieces (though the one that you pointed out with the tumor DOES speak to the metaphor of Vanity as Tumor which is pretty interesting).
Charles Bragg is really interesting... I'll have to check out more of his stuff.
And I agree with you on Caesar... I couldn't believe that his work was digital, either. I find it absolutely fascinating. He creates a limited amount (usually 30 or so) and then destroys the 3D images so they can't be replicated.
Shame, in a way, because I'd love to get my hands on "Ebb Tide" but it's sold out and I can only IMAGINE what the private owners would be asking for it.
