red aleatory

My attempt at an online aleatory journey started, with no surprise to those who know me, with a very un-technological object...a book. I guess this was an attempt to ease myself into the world of hard-core web surfing.

I chose a random book from the bookcase I could reach while sitting at my computer, which happened to be My Name is Red. I chose a random word on a random page -- "increasingly" on page 51. So I did a yahoo image search for increasingly and took the 51st image, and this is what I came up with:

This is an artist I've never heard of before, Brian Pike. After looking at his other work, I think Inattentive Gardener is my favorite.
