I don't know whether or not it violates one or more of J.H.'s trademarks, etc. but that second to the last picture where they show it on the wall is pretty cool.

Have Paul make you a checkerboard-bound, CV-covered coffee table to sit in front of it and you would have a swingin' bachelor pad!

I don't believe this violates and trademarks as RIC does not produce fine art paintings.

Make that a 4000-series headstock and I think I could find a good home for it!

My guess:

Impecunious art students make these in a factory-type setting, or
China.

(Have you ever seen a painting factory? Gives new meaning to the whole "Art VS Commerce" debate.)

Paul - Are you just saying you wished you'd thought of doing this kind of ancilliary product first? ;-)
