Have a look at this:
http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0009Y33BK.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
Could *you* make something like this? I couldn't. I wouldn't know where
to start.
I don't mean "could you make this particular picture". Now that I've
seen it, I could probably make a vaguely similar copy of it. But how do
you come up with an idea like this in the first place? That's the part I
don't get.
I guess I'm just not very creative... :-(

Somebody went through a library of photos saw the tree branch, and
thought "That would be a nice place to stuff an eye" then they kinda
added some extra embellishment?
I don't know :) But I'm good at wild guesses :D

That's something I've wondered about quite a bit too, though not on that
particular image. And more to the point, what exactly is the _meaning_
behind such an image? What feeling is it attempting to evoke? I often get
the feeling that I'm missing the part of my brain that's supposed to
interpret that stuff. Or, maybe, I just haven't been exposed to enough
"Art" and/or had it explained properly.

FWIW, I remember watching one of those John Stossel shows on ABC where he showed
a series of paintings to three art
experts/critics/appraisers/whatever-they're-called. All three went to great
lengths to explain what deep dark secrets these paintings revealed, extolling
the genius of their creators. Turns out they were fingerpaintings made by
kindergarteners...
As far as why this particular image works (or doesn't work)... well, beauty is
in the eye of the beholder :)

What, slap apparently-unrelated elements together with Photoshop? That
isn't a great conceptual leap.
Now making something that is both meaningful, and beautiful, and novel,
is something quite different.

I'd settle for something that looks cool. I'm shallow like that...
[And FWIW, I have no idea how to work Photoshop. This is probably
related to my never having seen Photoshop.]

Well, I used to know a Jackson Davis, does he count? We always wanted to
get rid of him...

Can he dribble paint in an artistic way that will make people want to pay
millions of USD? If not then probably not.
