Hmmm...sounds like Aarting.com is right in the mix! :)

TIMOTHY BERG "TASTY TREATS"
From the artist:
"My recent work revolves around notions of cultural consumption. I intend to create a tension between what is fun and what is grave in order to pose fundamental questions about the consequences of overconsuming. I employ humor and metaphor to simultaneously disarm the viewer and challenge them to evaluate the larger implications of our culture’s habit for making things disappear."
