Just something I like

I found this gal on Etsy this morning and fell in love with the cute, funny, witty, whimsical prints she has for sale.
Her main site has an even larger selection...everything is super adorable. These are my personal faves...






Not to mention....Ninja Giraffe


I'm totally getting some for the kids' birthdays and Christmas presents...you should too!

'Hanging Heart' sets auction record

Am I daft or is the art world insane??
I'm thinking it's the latter.
This piece of art was just auctioned off by Sotheby's for $23.6 million. It is the the most expensive piece by a living artist ever auctioned.
I just don't see $23.6 million worth of art here. Frankly, I don't see $23.60.

I guess this piece is considered to be one of the artist's most important works. I wonder what the less impressive pieces are like. This just looks like a giant cheesy Christmas ornament to me.

The article says the previous record holding artwork was something called Lullaby Spring which was a stainless steel cabinet filled with over 6,000 handcrafted and painted pills.
Huh?
That sold for $19.5 million.

Maybe I'm an unsophisticated rube, but I just don't get this "art"
