I hate that abstract art bullshit; “because I’m an artist, and therefore a pretentious asshole, I think my random flinging of paint is worth money, and other people should too.” Now before you get offended, please be reasonable and remember that I am by no means talking about all artists. I know many cool artists, including Ian and do not feel this way about them. But seriously, it’s like getting paid for breathing; it isn’t that big of an accomplishment.
seriously ian, that out of all of your comics so far is probably one of my all time favorites dude! while i was reading it i was thinking “man, i know what he means.. i see stuff like that at galleries all the time.. and i just don’t get it. Like the one time that i was at this place in LA someone displayed a case of lined hole punched paper with a pencil on top of it… WTF!?!? and it was for sale for like 800 bucks.. and next to it a really GREAT painting was like 400 bucks.. its stupid.. anyway, the reason i liked this so much is it really got me thinking about that and then i got to the ending and i forgot completely what i was thinking about cos i was laughing so hard! i Love it man!
you have to do it in “phases.” that way, when you get a gallery, people will be like, and this is a petkun during his single pixel on a piece of paper phase, or this is a classic example of petkun’s “rocks from a pond” phase.
modern art is good, dadist art is awesome because of what it stands for, futurist art is way too sci fi for me, i like pop art because it is fun. but a whole lot of contemporary art out there is just crap. don’t diss modern art, unless you really know what “modern art” is.
haha. even dadaist art is a bit abusive of the concept of art sometimes, especially when it comes to stuff like taking a urinal, calling it a “fountain” and dubbing it art. goatees on the mona lisa, however, are awesome.
the most annoying piece of modern art i saw was a bunch of ugly ripped up carpeting piled in a corner of the philly art museum. at first i thought they were renovating the gallery, until i noticed a security guard next to the pile.

GAH! I was once at a meusem and there was a whole room for a guy who scribbled with crayon on canvas. It baffles me how people can call that art.

Mow, they get better and better every time!
My plan to get rich in life: Make thousands of pieces of “modern art,” and, chances are, at least a few of them will be deemed masterpieces.
