Can anyone declare a work to be art? Short answer of course is yes. However most people agree there’s a line between what can be rightfully called art and what really is crap. But who gets to decide where that line is. Personally, I draw that line such that a lot more of what is claimed to be art, falls on the crap side of the line.

And I saw a funny phrase today: Art fair.

Funny because it’s an an anagram of “fart air”. Which I reckon a lot of art is.

Preston Gralla makes the insightful and interesting observation that Bill Gates will in the future be known and remembered for his philanthropic work rather than Microsoft.

Doctors get shown boils on hairy bums; Computer nerds get bailed up over what computer to buy; people in movies or TV get the “I’ve got a great idea for a…”; mechanics get pestered with the question about why cars never make that clunking sound when they’re around; and so on through every occupation. God help us what prostitutes are asked – or shown!For a writer, it can take the form of the eternal question all creative people are badgered with: “Where do your ideas come from?”.
