Several years ago an on-line artseller emerged called 'eyestorm'. They offered a Damien Hirst work (he's a 'Brit-art' artist famous for preserving half a cow in formldehyde as his most notorious work) which was attractive, lots of coloured circles laid out in a regular grid on a white ground, maybe 80 or so on a sheet 20" square. I thought 'I could do that on my computer'... What I should have thought was, 'Why don't I buy his idea and work as I loved it. The 'eyestorm' firm recently sent round an e-mail advising us that those who had bought that work had seen its value rise from ?500 to ?10,000! regards, Jem ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan Borden" <jonathan@openhealth.org> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Sunday, August 15, 2004 4:27 AM Subject: [Leica] I could have done that > Do you ever look at something in a gallery and think "I could have done > that." > > http://jborden.org/etc/index.cgi/photos/squares.html > > :-) > > Jonathan > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
