I would take a look around the web for Magritte's pictures; they are quite interesting in their own, and quite useful as inspiration for JSW rooms,

as Magritte's surrealism is fairly close to Matthew's ideas.

I have a book of
Surrealist paintings, including Dalí and Magritte - the only
one of Magritte's in the book with an obvious MM/JSW
connection is this striking picture of a boot morphed with a
foot - good for a Game Over screen, I think!
:-)

"When you first see a new picture, you don't wanna miss
the boat. You have to be very careful. You might be
staring Van Gogh's ear" [Rene Richards, "Van Gogh's
Boat", Basquiat soundtrack]

By the way, "G U ARD
I ANA NG EL" in We Pretty is meant to be in a very
Dalíeque style!
