Sarcasm is not an art form...it's the lowest form of wit. Sadly, I hated all my teachers at regular school and only like one in higher education. I was educated in the era highlighted in Pink Floyd's The Wall - We don't need no education....a time when all teachers thought they were being clever when they put down a pupil's work along with the pupil's personality, derision being next to sarcasm. To hell with them! I learnt that I was if not better than teachers then at least their equal..sorry if I'm ranting or sound arrogant...but I did hate school. Art means so many things. It is diverse and complex and simple all at the same time. Personaly, I don't generally get along with abstracts, although I love the stuff that Zhann exibits especially in her screen-savers. IMO there is a tendancy these days to put up crap and call it art. It exists in many galleries (not on the net but in the real world) and I would throw it all away and shoot the so-called artists. I have found that here in the 'Rend the more work it has taken to produce a piece the better it looks, although this is not necessarily true of all the work exibited here. Art is what you 'Appreciate'...and encompasses the subject matter, the pov, the fov, and the materials used. How it is executed is also a major factor. IMO if every picture tells a story then it's art...nuff said!

And in my final hours - I would cling rather to the tattooed hand of kindness - than the unblemished hand of hate...
