When I am old, I shall wear purple. No, I shall buy art.

I want more art. I am thinking that I will have to look at getting some when I go to Seattle. But when I see David Kroll's paintings at the Grover/Thurston Gallery, and Darren Waterston at Greg Kucera, I think that my income has in no ways kept touch with my tastes.

Maybe you should practice a little now, so that we are not surprised when suddenly you are old, and start to buy art.

When you're here, maybe there'll be a Friends of the Nib show. Affordable and fun art for your now-a-go-go lifestyle.

Income not keeping in touch with tastes. Preach it, sister.

Some of the best purchases I've ever made have been art. I'm not that old either.

Oh WOW at Darren Waterstone; and yes to the income/taste inequality. I've started buying some art but slowly - original comic art (Mike Allred, Frank Quitely) and limited edition festival prints (eg. Tara McPherson); also stuff from my friends (like the original of this icon that [livejournal.com profile] slightlyfoxed drew for me). But nothing like the big league, though to be honest I would probably be quite nervous with something that expensive in my house.
