What kind of a d.ouche-bag do you have to be to want to do something like that. It may seem impressive to those of us with no artistic ability but we all have skills we've developed for our own jobs. I'm a mainframe programmer at a bank. I think today I'll crank up the music and stand at my terminal typing out each word on the downbeat between epileptic fits that I can call dancing.

 

What a ridiculous human being.

It was impressive when I saw it for the first time on the DENNIS MILLER show some 20 years ago. Don't know if this is the same guy (he looks a bit young), but the music and subject of the painting are the same.

Not sure if it is the same guy, pretty sure it is, but I went to the last Warriors home game two years ago in Oakland and this guy did a painting of Baron Davis, it was incredible. They raffled it off or gave it away at the end of the game.

Great, all that dancing and all we get as a result is a blacklight velvet painting.

Wow. Tough crowd we got here.

Actually, I'd find that quite refreshing from the everyday mundane experiences I encounter at my bank.

It's the "jackassery dancing" I am ridiculing. The desperate need for attention that drove him to such jackassery must be never-ending.

So you don't like his style. Couldn't the same be said ("desperate need for attention") about any artist, in any medium, who allows their work to be seen by others? Aren't they all pretty much just showing off?

If you really don't see the difference then I doubt I can explain it to you well enough for you to understand my point.
