The author's comments:
This can be considered a satire, targeting those who try so desperately to pin what "art" is. Let's not worry about what's more "artistic," this song or that song, this book or that book. The reason art is so wonderful is that there is no real definition for what it is. There is an artist in everyone. You don't BECOME an artist - you RELEASE the artist that is always inside.
