Agreed. I make a living doing art. Nothing else. And that does not make me in any way qualified to say what is or is not art.

I am sometimes stunned by the line of a cable housing backlit against the morning sunlit pavement. I have a few vintage frames on my wall, next to some seriously good paintings done by some very good painters. A couple very strikeing components sit next to contemporary ceramics and metal work done by other artists.

I do not generaly put bicycle "stuff" in my work. Other than the occational run of coffee cups wtih "Yes I rode my bicycle today" on them. And thats for fun. And a little profit.
