LOL LOL I just had to share a recent email rant, from a fellow artist and good friend!:

"I'm trying right now to immerse myself in art...lately I have lost all patience for it. I just don't know why sometimes I can't stand to even pick up a brush.
Have you read about the 7 year old girl who makes abstract paintings that sell for tens of thousands? Been selling them since she was 4. There's a movie about it on dvd now....forget the name.
I hate the art world....Though I heard John Waters explain the Andy Warhol soup can / jackson Pollack shit on the radio...he was the first one to explain the art world I don't understand.
Basically that type of art is supposed to anger and surprise you, then you accept it and it's great. The trick is you have to be the first one to do it. he said art is magic. So you really have to drink the Kool-Aid to buy into all this pretentious shit. I guess. If you ever read about the Yoko Ono art exhibit she had in the 60's when Lennon met her, you would puke. She had you climb a ladder and nail an imaginary painting to a wall with an imaginary hammer........uuuugghhhh.....the fukkin art world....rretch.

LOL ...artists, more fucked up than anyone else!
I'm not sure I understand everything he's saying.....but I know he's pissed!! LOL

at least now I know its not just me!! ha ha
