[Douglas Barry]

Oops, got the name wrong. The guy I was thinking of is Vic Muniz - a 
Brazilian artist turned photographer. I saw his stuff - a beans and 
coffee portrait of Che Guevara - at a Sotheby's auction in Paris and I 
thought it was excellent. Unfortunately, too excellent for my wallet at 
the time.
