This guy is trying to sell 1000 paintings, which if you’ve read boingboing lately you may have skimmed his site already. The paintings to me are so boring that I can’t understand why people would buy. I certainly won’t be laying down any quiche for this stuff, but people are. He sold a couple hundred in a few days & the price goes up the more he sells (like real art?). Anyhoo his blog was interesting in terms of his marketing approach. Found this interesting gem. I like the graphic quality of the relations between information on a web site.
This guy’s got lotsa buzz from smart people all over the place, but it still just seems like a big joke.
Hmmmmm, guess I might be adding to the gestalt factor with this post. Can beat ‘em, so join ‘em. Tho I think I’d rather buy a pair of cute shoes then one of those paintings…maybe we should sell forgeries.

i mean, it is such a banal concept. paintings of numbers? in the end, the guy wins for his business imagination, and actual artists lose. i’m not mad at the concept, but painted numbers? Jeebus.
