Ikea...

Ikea annoys me. More so their "art".

Why is it that someone is willing to pay $100 for a poor quality print of a Picasso and yet not willing to pay $40 for a real canvas from an unknown artist?

Real canvas paintings, even done by amateurs, still look more vibrant and alive than a lousy quality print behind a hunk of plastic glass. It annoys me every time I go in there and see people loading prints into their carts. Picasso is dead, he's not making the cash off your "art" purchase.

An even bigger beef I have are the ubiquitous posters of Monet that have Giverney and Monet printed across the bottom in HUGE ugly TYPE. Who are you kidding, its flat looking and TACKY. I love going into open houses and cruising real estate and almost every house I go into has that ubiquitous Monet poster.

Be original, spend the $40 on eBay living breathing unique art.
