Lastly, what are those two pieces of art hanging on your wall behind you?

This is from the world's greatest unknown cartoonist, it's called "Cul de Sac" by Richard Thompson. And if you're not familiar with it, check it out. It's brilliant. The other one is Mary Blair, she was a brilliant animator at the Disney Studios, and this was from Saludos Amigos. I just love the character of those birds.
