"The Chief Function of the Body Is To Carry the Brain Around" ~ Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931)

 
Yes, that brainy quote is real.  Background from March, 1959 House Beautiful magazine feature on color schemes.  Men in suits from a June, 1954 advertisement for HI-TEST Artist Oil Colors.  Brain snipped from a Dover clip-art book.

    This is so great, something about the position of their hands makes this even better.

    I agree with the above comments. Lovely work. Isn't it funny how a brain looks like a walnut kernel?
