I always think of the emperors new clothes when I see these modern art pieces, people scared to admit it's rubbish because they are worried what others may think of them.

No harm in chancing your arm in the 'Art' world Patsy, they're all at it, if there's someone out there thick enough to buy stuff like that why not try to make a quick million?

Good luck to anyone who passes off piles of rubbish as art and gets away with it - it says more about the buyers and admirers than it does them. There was an old film about an artist who cons someone into buying a masterpiece that had been daubed by a chimp ... say no more.

Try it on ebay we used to sell the clippings when we clipped Yorkshire terrier Duncan, he made us a few pounds during his life time, enough to fund his treats !
