Yes, it was an excellent year for my artwork. It was when I stopped!

Ah, clever - you're sure to see a rise in value because of that.

 

At college I toyed with the idea of faking my own death to increase the value of my work, going to live in the Caribbean somewhere and slowly release paintings to market that had hitherto been undiscovered. They would have been 'discovered' in lofts and greenhouses all over Yorkshire.

 

Only problem is that I wasn't that good and wasn't selling anything anyway. :C

David Hockney's drawings suck, it doesn't stop him.

Are you suggesting I draw some shit scene then make up some pretentious meaning for it, then everyone will love me?

No, but he may be suggesting that you just draw some shit scene then make up some pretentious meaning for it.

What would be the point in that?

Broaden your horizons, perhaps?

You can do if you like. Just don't be born in Bradford and become a Bradford hero and I'll be happy.

Working well for him because he was on a TV show. So that means PB needs to get on a show first!

The picture of course. Though the blog entry usefully contextualises it and is worth reading.

My hand/eye/brain coordination is not good enough to produce something like that. :(

have you seen the pictures? I am astonished and impressed that he managed even $1000

especially since he only needed $425

I didn't match up the prices with what sold, but I saw what he had on the site and on the ebay store.

You do have to wonder at the people who are buying them - can only assume they think his shit is going to become priceless in a few years time. :S

They are buying it because he's from America Choppers, that's the only reason.
