Before you settle in to your outdoor patio seat today or get started on that lawn project, think about heading over to the Albright-Knox to view the entries for Art Alive.

According to Knox planners, this year's is the largest grouping, with 40 entries. It amazes the senses when you see life imitating art in ways that boggle the mind. See how ingeniously these artists pay homage to the masters of the art world in emulating 3D replicas of instantly recognizable works. Click here for a slideshow of some of last year's entries.

No matter how jaded you may be, there's always a surprise at Art Alive. As you can see from the photo above, some of the artists' poses are very difficult. Hurry to the Knox before their arms and legs give out! See if you can pick out the winners before the judges do.

    Story Image I was at the Viking Restaurant in the Blackrock section of town when the owner says, "Hey, I have this CD of a kid of one of my customers. Would you like to take a listen?" "Suuuure," I cringed. "Whose kid is it?" He mentions the name, and to my extra delight (sarcasm), I happen to know the guy. Great, I say to myself. But I listened, and the kid was more than all right; he was just terrific (whew). I took the CD to some friends so they could listen—Robbie Konikoff at …
