Art And Money Go Hand In Hand......

b: a stock market bubble

What: "When i was making serigraphs i got an uncanny feeling that i was printing money. And my show was an IPO (Initial print offering) There are huge parallels between art and money.

However contemporary hyped up modern art is like a stock market bubble...Prints are like small denomination notes...We have to survive while we train in the classical arts...:)"

a: The pancreas ~
b: a machine on autopilot

What:

"It is a testament to reliability that most adults do not know much about the pancreas. We don't simply because we don't have to. From the moment of birth, the pancreas is like a machine on autopilot - silently working in the background doing its job meal after meal, day after day. We may only have one pancreas, but it usually lasts a lifetime processing over 100,000 meals and rarely ever breaks down."
