I don't know. I'm fairly sure I can take a dump on some canvas and call it art. Wasn't there some guy that sealed a cross in a jar of urine and called it art and got famous?

The point of this exercise is to seperate the artists from the wannabes.

Artists answer #2 - wannabes = 1

Which brings me to my next point:

Sorry, we have had a run on cake lately you will have to choose death.

What a load of horseshit.

Gotta take the low road -- 1st option. I hate injustice.

But I don't want death.

Take your passion in life. Take something you do that grabs you by the balls and messes with your mind. Now imagine that something is a painting you just made.

But I can't paint.

That doesn't really work in my case. I don't create anything that I give a shit about.

I can remember seeing A BLANK CANVAS hanging in an art museum. Seriously. A BLANK, RECTANGULAR CANVAS. I shit you not.

Option #2. In the first option my "masterpiece" is valued at only $5,000. In the second option my work is valued in the millions. In either option I am parting with the piece but in option #2 my piece is intact and appreciated. This isn't a hard decision.

Yes...I believe that he was famous for less than 15 minutes...Sensationalized but not regarded as a great artist by anyone that I know...What was his name again?? (I rest my case)

My sister is an artist. She actually has talent. She sculpts shit. She doesn't make crap from selling her art, so she's going to be a teacher. But it saddens me when no-talent hacks like you described are making money off stupid shit like the above.

Wasn't there some guy who smeared poop on a painting of jesus or something and got famous? :shake:
