It didn't make “Most Amusing Present [1],” but it's still darned amusing—my dad got me “The Scream [2].”
Okay, he didn't give me the actual painting, nor a reprint, but an inflatable Scream:
[Macaulay Culkin posed for this, I just know it] [3]
Fifty inches of impressionistic inflatable ink. And given where the valve was, his expression makes quite a bit of sense (same for Otto the autopilot [4] now that I think about it).
So now he lives at The Ft. Lauderdale Office of The Corporation where we could definitely use some non-corporate [DELETED-propaganda-DELETED] art to liven up the space.
