But is it ART? What would you say if I told you that I filled my entire living room with completely original works of art for less than $300? We're not talking kid's stuff - no crayon drawings, no attempts at self-expression. Art by real and struggling artists, both schooled and self-taught? You'd tell me that I am truly a brilliant shopper, right? Thank you. The other day, my mum and I were wandering through Costco Homestore, after having returned something (a couch - bless Costco and their liberal returns policy). Mum commented, "I know everyone wants to find a nice big piece of art to hang in their home, to make it feel original. "Mum," I said, "That's why I buy all of mine on eBay." My mother doesn't touch computers, so she sort of nodded in a condescending way, and continued looking at insipid copies of watercolor masterpieces, shaking her head in dismay. So I didn't convert her then and there. My favorite artist, hands down, is a guy named John Swinton.
