Sorry, but to me anyone can do abstract art...sometimes I think I should buy some paint, splash them on some canvas and sell them to artsie fartsies to ponder and make enough cash to finish my education and pay off my student loans and then build building and bridges that will boggle the very same artsies because of the USEFULNESS of the structures. Don't get me wrong...abstract art is pretty...but I don't think it's a talent like being able to paint real like things that actually LOOK like real life things. Also, I think people waste WAY to much time trying to figure out the "meaning" of things...[/end rant]

marlowe says that painting is "ugly" because "it's scribble scrabble".
i kinda like it, it's interesting to me to try and imagine what the child was imagining when he did it.

The difference between Nixy the Artist & Jackson Pollock is about a hundred million dollars worth of PR.
