At my school I was given absolutely no experience in Music and Art. I was in a moron class with teachers who didn't care anymore and all the equipment was dead. This has made me feel slightly bitter over the years but alas I have managed to teach myself some musical stuff over the years.

Now I was watching some Art program at 3 in the morning one night and I was looking at all these classical paintings and actually started to appreciate things in an arty farty way. Then I walked about the art gallery which is about 10 metres away from my lectures going " Oooooh ahhhhhh ".

However, I have no idea what to do. Are there any artists amongst us forum people? Got tips? Like I dunno, cutting off my ear and living in poverty forever?

That, is without a doubt, the best thing ever!

Buy a huge canvas and some industrial sized tines of paint. Then strip nakes, douse yourself in lots of different colours of paint and writhe around on the canvas for a while.

Voilá et masterpiece magnifiqué!

I hate canvas, all that preparation before inspiration.

It's not right.

You see rubbish like that, and suddenly 'Stickman with a Sword' looks like a true masterpiece :)

One of this year's Turner Prize exhibits is this: Someone's dismantled a shed, built a boat out of the wood, sailed somewhere, and when they got there, dismantled the boat and built a shed again, then stuck the paddle on the side. Art or just mad carpentry?

That Turner Prize thing, someone has painted a whole canvas black.

*slow clap*
All your daddy's money at art school wasn't wasted there.

Paint an abstract masterpiece... go buy some oils, a big brush, slap it on and tweak it for two years. Then when it's finished and you're insane, call it "Untitled No.78".

Paint whiskers on your face, then crawl up the street rubbing up against people's legs.
