    I've always felt that art is difficult to define completely. Are paintings by chimps and 5 year olds art if they are auctioned at millionaire prices? Could a piece of typography appear so delicious and beautiful that it could be framed and admired in galleries? Is a country's flag a design or a piece of art? Where did they draw (no pun intended) the line back in the day when artists were commissioned to produce posters for shows and performances? Can Design be Art's little brother/sister/apprentice? always snapping at their heels and just not quite 100% ever achieving that ego-inflated status as Art? I dunno, I just feel the more we discuss this subject, the less time we spend making it.
