They were forced to quit. And this too got lots of press.<BR/><BR/>I really like the idea of someone making Marge's paintings I think that is fine and cool...but it is sad no one looks or can feel comfortable giving lots of art that kind of coverage wahy NOT EVERY WEEK???? why not? What's the big deal? Embrace art work around the country every week and make the effort to ask questions and understand the art...I would call these paintings a kind of relative to "metafiction" trend and that is cool...but how sad that artists get so little coverage per week...per year nil.<BR/><BR/>It's like the same old idea that we would think the only artists ever in Canada were the fucking group of seven.

One thing though: Andy Warhol started out painting Batman from comic books.Timmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05110887184966606843noreply@blogger.com
