I like arts

I went to a movie recently in an artsy little theatre in an artsy little building. The movie was American Hardcore, and it was thoroughly awesome. Yet that wasn't the highlight of the outing. The highlight of the outing—and the highlight of the week—was discovering that the artsy little building was one I had heard about. In fact, I had wanted to go to the artsy little building for a while, and this is why: it has an art vending machine in the lobby. The vending machine is one of those old cigarette vending machines, but instead of pulling out the rod of your choice to receive a certain brand of cigarettes, you pull the rod of your choice to receive a certain artist's works. What could be better? Each art is handcrafted, not a copy, and costs only $4.

I bought five arts for me and one art for a friend. He got a painting of someone's left ear. I got some splatter paintings on layers of plexiglass. I will arrange mine together to form a larger artwork. So. Very. Cool.
