It's a Plug!

I went to The Dump (the actual store, not the ... anyway) today and I saw something that just drove me mad. The store sells artwork, or should I say "artwork". They sell mass produced pieces, and the "artwork" isn't cheap. I saw one "painting" with the price tag of $799. I wanted to scream. Why you may ask? Well because you could buy original art for that price! Painted by a real person!

Here are a few reasons why original artwork is worth it:

1. it's original
2. the artist could become super famous (yes, super famous, not just famous) in the future and you would just happen to have one of their originals
3. it's original
4. there are millions of artists that produce work that needs a good home
5. it's original
6. Earth without art is Eh

And by the way, What better way to say Happy New Year or Merry Belated Christmas or Happy Valentines Day or Happy Birthday or Congratulations on a new house, job, baby, car, pet, etc. than a piece of art? Support the arts!
