Quote:My name is Thomas Fluharty and this is my exclusive online showcase for my paintings.
After investing more than thirty years of editorial and storyboard work creating images for clients, I decided to create a body of work for me, and for the enjoyment of others, painting what I love and focusing on pop culture icons.
I was classically trained in oils in the Dutch and Flemish technique, and have been heavily inspired by painting icons William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, and Rembrandt. Their methods seemed like a logical way to portray contemporary pop-culture icons, who have transcended into a larger than life type status.

As for the date format... doubt we'll change anytime soon although I suppose the government could just start using that format on their forms and get people accustomed to it for 10 years or so before making it some law like they over stepped on the decimal system.
I wonder, do Europeans say "The 6th of January" instead of January 6th? "
I think that is probably the best argument in keeping it as present even if it makes far more sense in an engineering way to go smallest to biggest or biggest to smallest.
We do say "4rth of July" so... that might counter the "amurica right or wrong" backlash against any change.
; )
The military use to say 6 January. Not sure if that is still common practice or not.
