But is it Art?
The best answer I ever got to this question was while walking through an industrial art park. We were looking at a particularly interesting exhibit when I asked this question. The group considered it for a while, then one individual stepped forward and said, "Yeah, I think so." Last weekend I went to the MOCA in Taipei to see Li Hui's solo exhibition Reality Impalpable. He is a Chinese artist and uses LED lights to make amazing sculptures. My favorite was The Undying Heart, which you can watch here. On June 11, it was International Yarn Bombing Day. Yarn Bombing is like graffiti but you use yarn to cover things on the streets. For more info read this article Creating Graffiti with Yarn. My favourite example of yarn bombing would have to be this work of art by Olek (a tribute to Bansky's Balloon Girl). And now for some awesome poses for you to practice so that you may look beautiful each time you take a picture! Just click here to enter the wonderful world of the Asian pose. Happy posing! Finally some food for thought on modern art.

Awesome Animals: A
This is Salvador Dali and his pet anteater. Note the beast's lead. You can see more famous people and their pets on this blog. If you have some extra time on your hands, then google anteaters in sweaters. It is a real thing. Next up on the list are aardvarks. It is one of my life goals to see one in the flesh, even though they are pretty difficult to spot, I shall continue on my quest. I also want to go to Botswana to see this giant aardvark statue, only so that I can have it as my profile picture. Why else? Another awesome animal starting with an a would have to be the armadillo. The fact that they are related to anteaters and sloths makes them awesome, but this cartoon series by Mike Hollingsworth, well that just makes them, legendary. And now for something completely different: tea with Stephen Fry and Lady Gaga. Read the interview here. I shall leave you with a bit of Black Adder the Third.
"Prince George: [reading] "Medium-sized insectivore with protruding nasal implement." Doesn't sound much like a bee to me!
Blackadder: It's an aardvark your highness, can't you see that? It's a bloody aardvark!"
