Angels & Devils - The Twins Mutterings of the Muses: I'm not sure to what extent two imps conspiring, is more or less frightening, but they are amusing to wonder at. It would make a great sculpture.

Happy Walk Mutterings of the Muses: What if this guy crossed your path? Even spirits are allowed to take happy walks.

500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #379 – Ol’ Groucho
Ol’ Groucho Mutterings of the Muses: It's odd what contributes to ones sense of humour. On occasion I am amazed to what extent the Marx Brothers are part of my everyday aesthetic vernacular.
