A painter? yes. An artist? No!

That's a little harsh. Art is subjective. What I consider art, you may not and vice versa. As long as someone puts their heart, soul and passion into something it is art. Whether you like it or not is a different story.

No, this is not part of my post.

Kind of reminds me of a scene from Mel Brooks, History of the World. Where they comment on the birth of art, and then introduce the inevitable after-birth, the art critic.

The real story is his work is far greater than the crass commercial trash of Andy Warhol. It's just a shame that Thomas got greedy and grew the business side beyond his means.
