It is a pun. Artist's conception can either mean an artist's description of an event where no real photo is available; or the artist's biological conception, meaning the sex that led to his birth. [[Special:Contributions/84.199.78.189|84.199.78.189]] 08:02, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Incidentally there is a great reference to Whistler's Mother in the movie "Sneakers". Dan Akroyd's character makes the reference regarding his blind colleage ("Whistler"). Great movie.

:: Dan Akroyd's character is called "Mother"; I don't think there is any more reference than that: two characters, Whistler and Mother. "Whistler", incidentally, is a reference to being able to whistle the tone needed on old pay phones to get it to give you a free call -- Whistler is a phreaker. {{unsigned|72.68.11.22}}

: the "click" because of Cueball working on the PC and not listening to Megan any more. [[Special:Contributions/80.76.68.155|80.76.68.155]] 15:38, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Does that mean that a painting of an artist painting a picture of Rembrandt's parents having sex would be an artist's conception of an artist's conception of an artist's conception? [[User:MrBigDog2U|MrBigDog2U]] ([[User talk:MrBigDog2U|talk]]) 15:30, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 
: Whoa, that sounds like it would be an artist's Inception! [[User:Mr. I|Mr. I]] ([[User talk:Mr. I|talk]]) 01:41, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 
:: But if he only claimed that he was painting it, but it turned out that he wasn't, that would be an artist's deception. [[User:Nyperold|Nyperold]] ([[User talk:Nyperold|talk]]) 20:41, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
 
:::Of course, that's really all just your artist's perception.  [[User:Viperzer0|Viperzer0]] ([[User talk:Viperzer0|talk]]) 20:20, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
