Mystery Artist
Okay, since we seem to be at a standstill with the mystery masterpiece thread, I thought I'd be a pain and start a "identify the artist in the photo" thread. 
Take a look at this photo and see if you can tell who the famous painter is!!
Hint: He was born in Ireland and what he is holding might be a clue as to his name.

Useful for rolling into balls and throwing at your little siblings and for sticking on things! Oh be inventive and sculpt use all something!
