This is going to be longer than I expected

Nobody said it had to make sense.
Some of the music used is considered "high culture" o.0 and some of the anime too (how many awards has Miyazaki won??) though usually RARELY at the same time...

callages also tend to be considered art... maybe not "high" art but art none the less, and I was going to say that!!!!!

he also tagged along with Divinchi and discected bodies which was against the law at the time...
And the Mona Lisa is a Self Portrait in Drag

(no really it is!!)

AH! Good movie! and aparently somewhat accurate,
shakesphere was considered a hack in his time too... he was what I consider Disney of the Renaissance lol, he liked to make up words too...
But so does Dr Seuess but he did it alot more fun than Shakesphere

and once again with the Mona Lisa is actually Divinchy in Drag (its been proven!!!) though I love just about all of Divinchy's art (even if i cant spell)
Especially the one of the baby in the womb! YAY Discection!!!

people can make money off their arts! who says they cant... we cant legally make money off of AMVs but thats another subject.
How many craft fairs have I been to where people sell their original creations? how many meuseums have PAID for certain pieces to be shown in their halls? and take a walk through San Francisco and visit some of those hoity toity painting shops that sell countless pieces of art... Go to a resturant that has high rating sometime, where master chefs create new foods every day, cooking is an art, how many books has Emril sold? then we can always get into novelists... o.0 or Manga artists....
