My partner is an art/pow/ebay/banksy widow at the moment and has been for 6 months...
I have been trying to get interested in the s**te she likes in the hope she likes my prints. This will allow me two things:
1) To spend more time and money on the art I adore.
2) To be able to hang the pictures in the rooms in my house other than the study / small bedroom / garage / loft / shed.
I have been giving her lessons on the prints / artists also in the hope she starts to love them / me a little more.
Anyway... today's little game was to look at each print / piece of art and discuss what it means to you and then mark it out of 100. 100 being the best...
I won't go into her comments because you'll think I live with an alien, but here are her scores:
Banksy - CND - 50 pts
Eelus - Creature - 1 pts
Hewlett - The Hick - 3 pts
Nick Walker - Mona '05 - 5 pts
Banksy - Flying Copper - 5 pts
Micallef - Angel Bomber - 55 pts
Micallef - Walk in Harajuku - 61 pts
DFace - Hate - 75 pts
Micallef - Nuclear Girl - 58 pts
Banksy - Love is in the Air - 0 pts
TittyFreak - Wires - 51 pts
Insect - BigHead - 20 pts
Micallef - Save my $oul - 15 pts
Banksy - Grannies - 35 pts
Banksy - Jack & Jill - 7 pts
Lastly ... and my favourite was this:
TittyFreak - Face -
I was explaining how amazing the paper was, "ooo look at that pearl finish etc" when she said. "I like that...er... maybe a 55 pts but its just a load of jumbled lines etc"
When I told her it was a face... and then showed her she said...
"errr thats horrid Manga wank I f**king hate it... make that a 5 pts... and that 5 is for the paper!!"
The moral of the story is:
[glow=red,2,300]Buy it coz YOU like it don't listen to the missus!!!![/glow]
