Did you see this article in the L.A. Times today? Here’s the gyst of it: you don’t have to be rich to begin your art collection, you—yes you!—can own amazing originals for a measley $500 to $10,000 - WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! (personally, I’m waiting for $500 to $10,000 of disposable cash thank you very much). Scott Timberg, you are *#$%&!! out of touch with the majority of art enthusiasts in this town! Who was this article written for? Not me.

Okay let’s say, for arguements sake, I had $1000 burning a hole in my pocket, and my baby is already fed, the rent is already paid, and the minivan is gassed up to F, I’ve seen what $1000 buys at these galleries, it’s usually a little bigger than a postage stamp, or something like a toilet with some pollackesque splatters on it—lovely, where do I send my check?

Get real.
