Are you guys familiar with the artist Margaret Keane? I meant to post this a while ago but it just randomly hit me this morning. I was at the bookstore and came across a book, I forgot what it's called but it was older probably released in the late 80s or something... and it had photos of celebrities and next to them they posted other celebrities (or even animals, cartoon characters, etc...) that looked like them. Anyways... in that book there was a section where they posted celebrities that looked like paintings or sketches by famous artists, and one painting caught my attention. Unfortunately I don't remember what the painting was called (to be honest, I don't remember what it looked like) but two things I did remember: eyes and the name Walter Keane. I did a tiny bit of research and found out that Walter Keane was a business man and took credit for his former wife's work for years. I think there was a settlement for millions of dollars. (Please don't quote me on that, as I do not know for sure). Margaret Keane - www.margaretkeane.com/If I'm ever in San Francisco, I'd want to check out her gallery there. I really like her work.
