Obsessions. Leonardo da Vinci.

Leonardo da Vinci, the Universal Genius: Painter, inventor, engineer, scientist, musician. He was said to have been extremely strong, good looking and a great dancer. Some believe he was bisexual or gay. In fact, someone, using computer imaging, superimposed one of Leonardo's self portraits on the Mona Lisa and they lined up perfectly - thereby suggesting it was actually a self portrait in drag!
I have been fascinated by Leonardo since I was about 10. I loved all of the Renaissance artists when I was a kid, but Leonardo was - and still is - my hero.
(I'm not even going to mention that stupid book and movie...)
