Modern Art? More please!

Anyone who knows me, knows I am far from artistic. I tried my hand a few times on DeviantArt, but they were piss-poor. I have never been very good at viewing the prettier side of life and so, much artwork is wasted on me.

I once visited the Modern Art museum in London with my girlfriend, only to view much of it as a joke. For instance, one "exhibit" was just a television, playing a looping clip of some french guy, dressed as a jester, jumping around and stomping his feet, having a tantrum. Maybe if I was stoned, that may have made sense, but I wasn't... So it didn't.

Recently, however, I have been coming across modern artwork on the internet that has not ony impressed me, but interested me also! The two main types I shall point out today, for anyone who hasn't witnessed them yet, are Smoke Art and Reverse Graffiti.
