It strikes me as odd how you don't see him in full while most of the painting is done, and at least one adult who is video taping him is moving around *with* his harm. I would be a lot less sceptic if I could see him entirely, fast forwarded through making the picture. That being said, I *love* pointillism, but in this particular case it's rather simple for an adult and very intricate compared to what other children that age would paint. This is only remarkable if the kid really does all the painting. and the creative process that precedes it, himself. Otherwise it's "only" a nice effort in my eyes. I’m sceptic to say the least.

I was especially annoyed by all the ' is very concerned about Haiti and is supporting the cause on radio ' adverts all day. Also, I got a blatant piece of 'buy our crap' from bol.com doing just what you describe, they are donating 1 euro out of every sale they make today. That's just an effort to get more people to buy stuff over the backs of those in trouble. I don't know what's more sad, what happened there, or the money companies are making over their backs. No, it’s not just you.
