Local Art, Damn It!!!!!!

Do you really think people actually buy what art they want, or, do you think they purchase what is mass marketed to them? I believe it’s the mass marketing. So many people are so worried about what they are “supposed” to have on their walls, instead of what they want. Why in the world anyone buys and pays more for a mass printing of 650,000 of some ridiculously quaint cottage among an even more ridiculous flower garden, than buy a truly original from some local artist. IT’S BEYOND ME!! People make your house unique, it’s YOUR home. For crap sake, think local and support the artists you have right here, what ever city that might be. Here in Portland, we have many art festivals, I see many people attending, but I wonder how many actually buy? GO LOCAL, DAMN IT!! That’s what I say.

Another rant,

Mike
