other quand meme narratives

 I'm listening to madvillain, and it occurs to me that I don't have to be limited, in the scope or narrative of a quand meme, to nudes.  I can build a narrative off of random events.

In fact I was thinking of when he says, '500 just layin in the street.  Shit, I just wanted something to eat…'

It is most often used by making subtle gradations that do not include lines or borders, from areas of light to areas of dark. The technique was used not only to give an elusive and illusionistic rendering of the human face, but also to create rich atmospheric effects. Leonardo da Vinci described the technique as blending colours, without the use of lines or borders "in the manner of smoke"

also, aeriel perspective.  Anbother technique another technique he used in the mona lisa. is the setting of the horizon.  In the mona lisa, he placed it at eye level, which adds to the provocative nature
