I draw, paint, and love art. I turn my nose up at all the "That's not art, my kid could paint better than that!" dismissals of art, but in all honesty I never could get the appeal of abstract expressionism.

Pollock's work just looks like the wall in a dive bar's bathroom to me, Rothko's stuff looks like the gunk that forms over the window.

Here is why it was A Number ONE good idea to put the Wonkette's business ads here.I am a no good very bad commenter who often skips this section, excepting when I don't, OR when it is 6 fucking AM on the goddamn west coast and I am unable to sleep.So, since there is no new Shit Fer Brains, like what there ought to be, I finally stumbled down here! And it's Rebecca in the guise of "sponsored post" telling me about the art work and such as I should have.Now! I can't yet afford this artwork (ALTHOUGH MAYBE I CAN LATER) but your constant shilling has reminded me that I have not yet bought Fruhlinger's book, which I remedied. Small amounts of money for everyone!AND ALSO TOO I was led to find out what Bay Area Ab/Ex was. And huh. Not so much my taste. Learning.MAKE MONEY I NEED YOU!:)
