Ben,
You have ruined my afternoon. Your post on the FiveSecondMovies on YouTube forced me to go watch all of them. Damn you!
Here’s my favourite:

On my ramblings through Bebo last year, I met, through an online friend, this excellent artist. For Emlyn B, his art is a hobby, but I see no reason why we can’t shout out our pride for our hobbies, just as much as for our paid-for achievements. Emlyn describes himself as follows:
Artist, photographer, writer, short filmmaker, animator, lycanthrope, professional snake charmer and occasional cabaret act (but only on bank holidays). Trying to figure out my role in this crazy life, but watch this space for my own skins, artwork, photos and other cool stuff (i hope!)
From humble origins, drawing owls under the instruction of Don Conroy on the telly, he obviously took to art and drawing and has found a fascinating, often gothic, style.
If you feel so inclined, have a look at his Bebo site and please drop a comment before adding him.
His focus on eyes in some of his work particularly intrigues me. There’s so much emotion in the large glassy eyes.
But, it seems his passion lies in the obscure, the gothic and the fantastical.
I love my photoshopped self!
