Is this more what you had in mind, qwerty?

could he be part of the "blue man" group?
or
one of the "blue"s brothers?
haha

no guessing
after line/color logic you get about 80-90% done
then contradiction logic on the black 8 clues in columns 24/25 (they both cant extend to row 12 so at least one of them is in row 4)
smile logic to finish

This is surrealism not conceptual art.

Thanks for your entry!

what i learned from my first attempt, kadou, is that the blue square is a sufficient enough concept on it's own to qualify as (and in this case be required for) conceptual art. it's apparently a formula: art + blue square concept = conceptual art. requiring that one starts with a piece of art that is already in and of itself a member of the "conceptual" art sub-genre would be redundant wouldn't it?

I love it! And nobody said my Vermeer wasn't conceptual art, so don't be so picky. Kate may get a lower grade for it, but that's between her and her professor. :)
