TONY: I’m sorry?
TATI: You have a Bachelor of Visual Arts.
TONY: Yes.
TATI: Your art has even featured in a comics exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Rijeka, Croatia.
TONY: Erm… yes.
TATI: You’ve contributed to various comics anthologies.
TONY: Also yes.
TATI: All of this hard work and critical acclaim has led you to… this?
TONY: To what?
TATI: Shame on you!
TONY: Huh?!
TATI: This drawing of a goo goo muck with blood all over her tits!
TONY: Goo goo muck?!
TATI: A vampire woman!
TONY: Ohhh-kayyy…
TATI: Tony, this drawing is not art! It is complete shit!
TONY: I beg your pardon?!
TATI: You have thirty seconds to convince me otherwise. Tick tock!
TONY: …
TATI: Well? I’m waiting!
Tony turns to the Unbolt Me readers. His voice drops to a whisper.
TONY: Help me out, guys…

What is art? I think you’re dangerously close to getting mired in that old conundrum! You can always marshal Duchamp to your rescue, or Warhol 😄

This instantly reminded me of a song from the Cramps album Psychedelic Jungle.
I know it doesn’t answer your question, but it got me goovin’ to this psychobilly gem.
Cheers.

To help you answer Tati’s question, I need to question you more Tyno. Are you ok with that?

Tony, why didn’t you correct your name in my comment?
LikeLiked by 3 people
Well, I don’t usually make a habit of pointing out things like that. It’s just not that important to me if people misspell my name. It’s happened before and it’s happened again, and I’m not so important that it always needs correcting. I guess there are bigger things in the world I could be worrying about. 🙂

Well, for me, the discussion is the fun bit. I don’t mind whatever conclusions are drawn actually. Everyone will come to a different position and that’s okay. 😀

Honestly for me it is not art. Don’t get me wrong I appreciate comic art but don’t appreciate the subject matter. I agree with you Tati. If it was cleaned up it would be a much more appreciated piece of art.

This reminds me of a bicycle ride I was on once with a friend. “Taking it easy today, huh?” the friend said. I replied, “I got nothing to prove and no one to prove it to.” Sounds to me like you’re in a similar situation. You don’t have to prove it’s art; to my mind, the accuser has to prove their point. As a now-disgraced legend once put it, “Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence.” I’d say your record speaks for itself and you’re innocent till shown guilty.

You’re saying Carl Sagan and Laplace are now disgraced?! Statements about reality have to go beyond opinion and, yes, extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence.

Art is in the eye of the beholder. I write comedy. If you laugh it’s great art, if you throw it in the trash its not. Either way It’s fun to produce
Stay well and Laugh when you can
