#1 âIt was a pretty good depiction of how a chain would look wrapped around your legs.â

But does it look like the chains were wrapped around his legs in a mine in the middle of the desert? 'cuz otherwise, I coulda done that in my garage.

#3 These kinds of artists pull in tens of thousands from such "projects", while realist/classical artists like myself are religated to the dustbin. The reasoning goes something along these lines:

"If I don't understand what it is or what it means, it must be art!"

Just goes to show that public gullibility exists everywhere.

#7 Baker is a little burg about halfway between Las Vegas and San Bernardino, on the I-15 in the middle of the Mohave desert... a couple of gas stations, an auto junkyard, some streets of sun-blasted houses, two restaurants and a hundred-foot tall thermometer. We used to stop for breakfast at one of the eateries, on road trips between Utah and California to visit my family, and note that the temperature at sunrise in the winter was already pushing the high nineties.
PS: the best food then was at the "Bun Boy", great burgers since about 1935 or so. They have (or had) another outlet in Barstow. Just pull off the highway, it's a small place, you'll find it easily, that is if it is still there...chat up the truck drivers, they can tell you where the speed traps are.

#10 Well I would say that the guy has a future, but to be really real artist, he would have to depict the legs in chains while urinating on them.

What, that it does not make sense? Of course not, that is the point, isn't it?

Have to agree with Jules. Long time ago, I thought I am a decent painter. Then I realized I simply don't have it and don't stand a chance. It could never come up with the idea of chaining my legs and urinating on them. ;-)

#11 It = I

Am tired and my typing starts to suck. And vice versa, when my typing starts to suck, am tired. ;-)

#12 A good college friend was a pretty good painter. In college he was getting $5,000 per oil. Then he realized it worked out to about $1.20 per hour. He became a printer.
