Caravaggio is quite possibly my favorite artist of all time. When I discovered a magazine about his works buried in my art classroom I fell in love. Not only is the morbid appeal of some of his paintings incredible, so is the contrasts of light and dark. There's so many beautiful, creepy, and amazing aspects of his paintings...And his life was just as interesting.

In my humble opinion I believe one day soon people without very much talent will be able to use a computer to generate art. Look what is already happening with music. In movies flesh and blood actors are soon going to be replaced with commuter images that look and sound very real. The computer is a great invention but it is causing us to lose part of our humanity along with the human touch. However the computer will never be as good as the real thing.

That first painting certainly lived up to the dark aspect of the title

Good artists are so original so differrent from each other no computer programme can produce that is something you think in your head. Artist by nature like to be different unless they are real boring farts.
