Saatchi 'Showdown' Art Competition

[Osweo]

A friend of mine asked me to go to this website. Apparently, the Saatchis - extremely rich 'art' patrons, advertisers, and men of a Certain Background :wink - are going to give a heap of cash to whoever wins the competition they've set up.

Internet viewers can submit their ratings of the individual artworks, which may affect the outcome (maybe! :rolleyes:).

I went on and gave 1 out of 10 to anything I thought was obscene (not a few), rubbish, taking the Piss, anti-European, or just poor.

My friend showed it to me so that I would vote for the painting done by a child of her friend... :D Oddly enough, though, it IS one of the better works, in terms of offering actual skill as well as 'concept':

Please cast your votes ... wisely! :cool:
