The Queue: Fine Art
My favorite person and I wandered around a pop art gallery today. It was full of some great pieces involving interesting perspectives, drunken olives who were also pirates, cowboys painted from interesting angles, and more lovely portraits of celebrities and public figures than you can count. It reinforced two things: one, neither of us makes enough money to buy large original art despite how cool it would look on our walls, and two, who knew the world needed so many olive people paintings.
The standouts that we saw, and lamented not being able to buy the most, were a series from a local artist of astronauts and hot dogs in space. There was a fantastic piece that was extra wide and skinny, which was just an astronaut on the moon, with a hot dog cart, and nothing else. For some reason, it spoke to us. Maybe it was the absurdity, maybe it was our love of hot dogs — all I know is that it would be fantastic hanging above my TV, but sadly, I don’t have the two weeks’ wages to spend on whimsical art.
While I look into a set of burglars tools, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!
