"Outsider" Art

Funny but I've always kind of thought of self-taught as the only kind of pure artist anyway. If someone teaches you how to draw that doesn't really count to me. I guess that's being overly simplistic but I don't know how people define self-taught as opposed to not self-taught.

I guess what I'm saying is I think you have to have an inherent talent and desire to create art to really be an artist in my mind. Otherwise you're just someone who learned the trick of how to draw in perspective, etc.

Hershey

Hey, here's an interesting story about Hershey chocolate, and Milton Hershey, who of course founded the company, and the town of Hershey, PA and did lots of other cool stuff.

I grew up right near Hershey, in Lebanon, PA. Hersheypark was our local amusement park and we'd regularly go on the tour of the chocolate factory. It was pretty cool.

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
