I edit a blog called Eos: The Creative Context on Wordpress. It is at: http://eosthecreativecontext.wordpress.com/
I feature art, poetry and commentary and am always looking for new work.

I've started drawing my e-mails and e-mailing the drawings.
Tina Oppenheimer (AMPster) drew the wings; I added the rest and colored it in.

With a wrench you can interactively change the work to explore concepts of geometry, form, inside/outside and interactivity itself. It's kinetic in that it responds to humans playing with it.

Self-explanatory -- an out-of-context comment on the safety of our food supply and a silent plea to the invisible madcow God, with a hidden subtext on the thumbnail brutality of prehistoric man, and, if you hold it a certain way, a censored biography of Benjamin Twiller.
