Like Magic Eye. And Not.

Last week, there was a media shitshower (like a shitstorm, but less dramatic or exciting) surrounding a Paris Hilton portrait by the British artist Jonathan Yeo. And with good reason: The piece is actually a collage made of porn. Then Damien Hirst went and bought it , and, duh, that thrust it into the category of Banksy's Warhol-style Kate Moss.

I saw this puppy, along with some of Yeo's other stuff happenstancely last weekend at the Lazarides Gallery pop-up on Bowery in NYC, and while the famous faces business was cool, I HEART the leaves:

The medium here is cutouts of hairy balls and the like, too.
