Being an art lover, I thought this was cool, and a very ambitious under taking.
I wonder what the building will be worth when he's done?

That is awesome. This part made me laugh though:


"We had a city inspector come in and spend a long time looking at the ceiling," said Alen, 29. "He said: 'I like it. That man next to God? He's naked. Don't you think the people need more clothes?' I looked at Paco, and we tried not to laugh."

The sistine Chapel fresos originally were nudes, The draperies were added later by a painter nicknamed the britches painter. (apparently the church was going through a prudish era) The britches painter actually duplicated some of Michelangelo's frescos in a smaller chapel (sans-britches)
