Calvin: "Art isn't about ideas.

Calvin’s a con, but if you leave out the con, you get destructionist.

If only bad tats were as easy to get rid of as sidewalk art with a little rain. Glad I never got into body inkings. I’ve only seen TWO really magnificent tats in my entire life; wish I had pictures of both. I’d have them framed and hung on the wall!

Yes, Calvin, and I write my verses in pedantic speedometer. As for art, Trobrianders, when asked about that, simply replied, “In all things we do our best; we have no art.”

@LeadingEdge,Is that sidewalk graffiti by Monet? He DID have ‘cataracts’, you know. Whoever the artist was, he could have made cascades of Monet. “We’re in the Monet; we’re in the Monet.”

…neo-deconstructivist? Mom didn’t ‘raze’ Calvin that way. Well, at least Calvin’s intellect is ’raze’or sharp.
