		<description><![CDATA[This post is a series of outtakes and rants that I wrote in tandem with my article “SAA focuses on funding cuts to the arts: Meeting comes up short on strategy” for the June 2007 issue of the CARFAC Saskatchewan Visual Artists newsletter. For a variety of reasons I pulled a lot of punches when I edited the original article for submission. This post contains all of the pugilistic goodness that didn't make it into the "nice" version of the article.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Hollywood movie studio has decided to make a movie based on a Thomas Kinkade painting. Kinkade is famous for mass-marketing his work through mall, mail-order, and TV. That this information came into my awareness less than a day after a post in which I attempted to defend vernacular art is most likely a particularly fast-acting strain of karma.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is my third post prompted by the impeding debate about admission fees to Saskatoon's Mendel Art Gallery. In this post I get up on my soapbox and spew venom on both sides of the fee vs. free admission debate. I support reasonable user fees for public galleries and museums and explain why. I'm also in favour of exhibiting so-called "vernacular" art, and explain my reasons even though I don't like much of this kind of work.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the things we were warned of before we came to Japan was the difference between Asian and western body sizes and shapes. That it would often be difficult to find clothing and shoes that fit. That bus seats would be too small. And so on. But nobody warned as about one thing… Yes, [...]]]></description>
