For those of you who don't know yet, I bought Art. No, I didn't buy the rights to the name 'Art'; I bought a painting - my first ever, so I'm pretty excited. I'd been looking around for a painting to get, and I found one at this opening at the Swizzle gallery on College at Dufferin. The artist, Mark Ciale, dates my friend Dave, but that's not why I bought it. I guess it reached me. Mark's work has a sense of humour to it, but not an obvious one - that's what appeals to me. His paintings don't have titles, so I gave mine a name. It's about the size of a paperback. I won't bother describing it; I'd rather let you wonder what the hell could be on a painting that I named 'Nun Cake'...
