    Since i'm fairly clueless about things, I had no idea who botero was until I reached colombia and started seeing all these fat sculptures and paintings all over the place. The guy is true genius in my book and his gallery in bogota is pretty pimp, as well. I'm usually the guy who turns away from museums and galleries, but i couldn't pass this one up.

    i had a guy paint me this...(viva cheap labor!!)

    I really dig his work. In Madrid the have statues all over the city that are a similar style. I don't know if they are the same guy or not, but its the same idea. I think they are so fun and interesting.

    I think he said like 25$ because it was a reproduction type painting that he got... I'll go double check though
