My mom, a fairly talented amateur artist, sent me to a painting class at the ripe old age of 8 to start me on my way to a glorious career of artistry. It took all of about three lessons to; 1. realize I had little talent and 2. I preferred to watch the other kids paint while I drank my Kool-Aid out of my Spiderman thermos. Thus began my career of being an admiring art fan. And I am still one today. Check out my ode to struggling and not so struggling creative artists with the addition of a Gawker Artists banner at the bottom of my website. The art rotates, so each time the page is loaded you get new art, and you can find information on the artist by clicking the banner. Now get yourself some culture.
