i found these biographical comments a little more interesting:
"Anton Brzezinski's style is always associated with Dali, although there
are
major differences. While Dali was the originator of Surrealism as we
know it,
Brzezinski painted in this style for years before he realized the import
of
what he was doing. Although his strange paintings had been in print
and on
television, it wasn't until a street fair in Amsterdam in 1976, where
he was
selling some paintings and etchings, were he heard the passer's by
look at
his pictures and whisper "Dali!" "Dali!" that he knew he was onto a
good
thing. As soon as he was in New York, he called Dali's room at the
St. Regis
Hotel. He only inserted a dime, but immediately the pay phone spat
out a
jackpot of dimes and quarters.---"The moment proved to me the truism,
as
Dali predicted, that if you persue him it will enrich you."

Like Dali, Anton Brzezinski admires Picasso very much. On the night
Picasso died and it was announced in the news, Brzezinski sat up, morose.
He was grieving, thinking what a mind and genius Picasso had, and how
lonely it must have made him to be so unique. Seen this way, Picasso's
entire output had been in the service of communicating himself to others,
yet ultimately, we are alone within ourselves. How much more alone
Picasso
must have been, thought Anton. Thinking this he was overcome by grief.
He
began to cry for Picasso, and then a miracle happened. Although he
has
never had another auditory hallucination in his life, Picasso spoke
in his left
ear. Comforting him, Picasso quickly gave him "Ten secrets for a painter's
success." These rules became Anton's guidelines.

If only i had the key to unlock the other 9 secrets to success.
Rule 1: paint dali-esque liquid clocks and market them as below cost
surrealist masterpieces to consumers.
