art, not-art, and originality

For any out there who believe that there is such a thing as "not art",
and for those who believe that art has to be original, or new, or say
something that hasn't been said before to be "great art", heck, for
anyone that Vince and I haven't bored to death already, I offer,
without comment, this delightful little piece about the greatest
artist in the world, Damien Hirst:

And, see? I didn't capitalize "artist" or "art" even once! It hurt a
bit, but I'm getting used to it. The caps in the title don't count,
because it's the TITLE!

Back to work. Made a really cool pot that I kind of like. Going to
find a place to carve a fawn into it.
