You must just like keeping the ball bouncing because you're bored. I hardly doubt your credentials can top that.

"Bit of one man disaster zone ain't ya?"
That's why I've used an environmentally friendly, no burn sealer for the past 7-8 years, that doesn't contain creosote, or coal tar in it any more. I'm one of the very few people using it, so I can be part of the solution. I'm doing my part all day long buddy...
Ok, I will try to explain it...
Ok, I will try to explain it another way. Real art works produces meaning (in a lot of different ways)!
Some paintings are Art, others are just pigments on a support. Some photographies are Art, most are purely documentary, etc.
Obviously you confuse art and artifact.
Purpose
What was the purpose of posting a photo of yourself (assuming that is actually you) and explicitly stating that it was taken from "USA Today"?
And the second photo where you look like a white rapper, holding a bottle of brandy (which I'm sure is a highly collectible, extremely valuable, and also a work of art... but what do I know), was that supposed to be some kind of joke?
The
First photo was me out. The second was me in USA Today. The bottle is 5 star unopened brandy by Baron Del Rivero, from the 1920's. It was owned, and stamped by TJ Pendergast, and was part of the inventory he had in his home, while he was working with the mob to bootleg liqueur during prohibition. You need to get your nose out of the books long enough to take the time to look around at life, and history unfolding right before your eyes. There's a lot more out there than just what you see. You guys are great at giving history lessons, but you sure don't want to take any.
Idk...
EH said I was grubby. That's the point. But you're too black and white to see it.
I feel that when you're book smart, the majority of people will tend to see things very black and white. Just Like my gf. She's black, and I'm white... Just kiddin. I'm black. No. We're both white. But people with a lot of common sense, and maybe little book smarts see things very grey, and much more open. They may not be able to do a calculus problem, but they can take apart an engine, and put it back together without a manual. I believe it's because their minds are not polluted, and have not been swayed to either side by all the years of verbal brainwashing in one direction or the other, peaking the needle to one end, never to return to the middle.
Because of this kind of closed minded thinking, they're so focused on that one particular, they're actually missing the big picture. That's the exact reason that "professor" kept walking around the Pollock saying: "I just don't see it. Something is just not right. The technique just isn't there. The form is just to shallow. He would never do this."
It just shows how someone can be so intelligent, yet so unintelligent all at the same time, because they can't process any information correctly without knowing there's a picture reference to it in a book, or read it somewhere making them feel confident in a positive conclusion. They can't compute it, so they glitch all out of control like a robot after you pulled his wires. They can't just take all the attributes and put them together with a little out of book thinking, to make a positive analysis. They have to go by what they can only prove, or they're lost. And that's not a good way to think.
In the end that professor would have passed on the painting, because he couldn't reference it, or know he learned it somewhere in his 20 years of prestigious in depth school knowledge, and I would have came right behind him and bought it for the $5 dollars, because I liked all the colors, and the artistic and design value, and I would have been a millionaire after I got home, and found out it was Pollock, while he was sol...
Also, it was cold that day, and I felt like wearing my Armani stocking cap with my Armani high neck shirt, and 76 CompuChron LED watch. I think I looked pretty damn good buddy, and so did they.

"More cut n paste."
Do I need to write the very thing I know when I'm in a time crunch, and on a forum. It's not final exam. Get the stick out. I'm surprised Windows offers a cut and past option. What about people who cut and paste pictures for art?
"Read some books instead"
I do. Just read the book on George Burns and Gracie Allen?
Jack Benny's coming next.
"and go to some museums"
I do. And I did that night. From my living room. And got all the history one could ever want on that item from an expert. Not Rosanna Paulanna Danna. An expert. Are you discrediting her?
"to see the difference between what YOU have and an item belonging to the aesthetic movement. My last word as you don't deserve my respect or time."
Uhhh... I do have an item, not only belonging to the aesthetic movement, but a major part of it. Did you not see the link, or the mirror? That mirror is amazing. You can fall right into the scene, it's so inviting. They're almost non-existant any more. Why do you fight so hard to deny the truth?
youre making no sense anymore
You are ranting on and on about stuff that nobody here is even guilty of.
You are just insecure.
In the end, you are clearly illustrating all of your own frustrations and resentments, and projecting them onto anyone who doesn't agree with you, or anyone who will listen. Every conversation gets around to how you know more than the book-lernin' crowd. And why THEY are not as perceptive as you.
We all have our insecurities. Yours revolve around not having a formal education.
Why must we ALL be constantly told we are examples of the HORRORS of book-learning and college?
Your posts are a never-ending rationalization for not having gone to school.
You are a very intelligent person in many ways. But sheesh dude, get over it.
School is possibly overrated in some ways, but its not fucking evil! You like to say that formal education narrows everybody's thinking, but that is just crap.
It is a way for you to make your tired point that YOUR experience of the world is more valid than everybody else's.
THE AMOUNT OF TIME YOU SPEND ON THIS ANTI EDUCATION RANT IS GLARING. We all have insecurities. This is indeed one of yours.
But you don't have to grind it over and over again, just to make yourself feel better.
Of all of the things that are brought up, you keep returning to your big issue. The one that says "I am better" because I didnt go to school. You have a good eye, and you find stuff-- BRAVO.
But then you launch into how everybody is locked in a bubble but you. Everybody is exactly like the guy who missed the pollock, just so
you can rant some more about your insecurities.
You seem obsessed with proving that you know more than anybody on the planet, about basically everything.
You have stated over and over again that you want to be the best collector ever. You don't handle it well when you run into a few people who might know more than you about even one single particular thing. (like painting)

"psss.
I do like the restored gas stove.
I do.
Aunt Mark"
Thanks Mark. I thought it was a very pretty country stove, to the right family. I'm battling right now in this verbal Royal Rumble, so I'm limited on time. Hold on, here comes a chair... Gotta go. AGGHHH.... Thanks Mark...:)

And im sorry, the "seal-coating" is still not art. It may take an incredible amount of skill, but at the end of the day, a good seal coating job does not get contemplated on that level level as a Francis Bacon painting. It gets driven over.
CONTEXT is everything. If you want people to look at something as art, stop being so fucking practical and make a painting. AT A LOSS. You coat a driveway and want people to pay you as a seal coater-- but then you want it recognized as "art" after you have already sold your skills to the highest bidder. Cant have it both ways.
You act like because you can make a straight line without any drips, you should be enshrined in the Louvre. Its a SKILL. So every good dentist is an artist, and every awesome plumber is one too.
CONTEXT, Mr. History.
You, in your divine and vast knowledge, unadulterated by book-learnin', should already know about the power of context. But your rationalization seems to have given you a major blind spot in this regard.
