The Lafayette Building in downtown Detroit is about to get demolished. A lot of art (or not) will, unfortunately, have to go down with it. See for yourself. Is this stuff worth keeping around? If yes, then at what cost?

Jackson Pollock: Artist or Fartist?

Something about this guy and his artistry always bothered me. While some critics call his paintings masterpieces of abstract expressionism, I think they look more like vomit patches. Artistic? Hardly. That said, one of the best things about art is that everyone is entitled to their own opinion

Artonot #13: Do you REALLY think your kids are artists? Well do ya???

The following picture is very much appropriate since we just celebrated Easter a week or so ago. I’m not sure if those three things at the bottom should be eggs, bunnies, or both… Good luck figuring this one out… and no hard feelings, we’re sure your 9-year-old will never find this website…

Our Verdict: Artist in training, but not quite there yet…
