So at the online advertising agency that I work (AKMG), the CEO there has a real great taste in art. He owns several Todd White<\/a> pieces, who according to his website claims himself as the “critically acclaimed modern master and

This piece actually hangs in the bathroom, which is quite funny as some of my female co-workers have complained to him that is creepy that it looks like a bunch of photographers are taking photos of them while they use the bathroom.
