It's because of people like you that he topped himself. Angry I hope you're happy!
He could be alive today if it wasn't for you...

Not my fault he wasn't very good. Maybe his should have watched Watercolour Challenge with Hannah Gordon, in order to brush-up (geddit?) on his technique?

For example, look at his self-portrait...

See what he's done wrong?

That's right, he's not even looking into the camera! Again, another basic error! *shakes head*

It's not 'art', but I like this L.P. cover, which I have hanging up in my front room:

Good call. There's a lot of great album covers out there with some beautiful imagery. Some albums are just worth it for the covers alone.

A reclusive impoverished artist who produced 1000s of pieces that weren't very technically good or sold.

Why do I have this weird sense of affinity?

I'm slightly in awe of hyperrealists like Tom Martin.

Monet's Waterlilies

Which one? Did you know there were 250 of them?! That's a lot of lilies!

They have this one in Tate Modern at the moment:

It provoked an insanely strong emotional response from me, which was odd, because it had never really stuck me seeing it in print. Bloody huge!

I'm not always that into Monet. But I do love how huge they are.

Our local art museum has some lesser known Monet paintings, but they're tiny.

Reminds me of my 18th birthday.

It has a surprisingly different look in real lifes. Les vommy.

Monet really gets my nads.

Les vommy.

Sounds like a 70s stand up.

I meant less :( I'm sleepy.

I know, just a bit of fun. :)
