ART EXPERIMENTS

Odd, experimental art and writing, trying out unusual techniques and forms. Really a list for stuff that just won't fit any classifications. Not totally off-topic, though! Quite a few, are dreams proposing, or demonstrating, art experiments, like Overlay, Comics & Dreamjournal, or Foam, Furs, Dreams.
