Awesome, I like the colors a bit like Van Gogh how they meld together.

Van Gogh, always liked his art

That's one of those, "I can see how it's fantastic" things.

It captures the essence of the subject, rather than trying to copy what it actually looks like.

Awesome.

One can just fell the power he is trying to convey. Words fail, sorry.

The Scream - Edvard Munch

See my last.

It's not about photorealism, it's about what one feels. It's about conveying emotion, power, whatever.

I see nothing in that, other than a badly drawn vase of flowers.

Expressionism is the tendency of an artist to distort reality for an emotional effect.

Uh, missed this, it's the one who collaborated with Pratchett, dunno if he worked with Adams as well.
If you liked Good Omens (Pratchett/Gaiman), try a Gaiman-novel called "Neverwhere".

My bad, I meant Pratchett and specifically Good Omens, as you recognised.

Nice of you to not say "You meant Pratchett, not Adams, arse." Very much appreciated.

Well, I noticed there's even a miniseries made from neverwhere (can't be as good as the book tho') so that's probably old hat to you.
