She brags but you still like her anyway...

Ah.  The first day of summer.  If you would like a behind the scenes peek at what else Missmarketcrash does with her day, pick up the July issue of the Living Etc...(U.K. version).  Flick to the article entitled "Good Vibrations" and take a gander at Helen Tucker's lovely renovated home.  Formerly a solicitor, Helen has done a rather fine job of renovating a few house-wrecks and is now doing interior design.

So...what has this all to do with Missmarketcrash?  If you look carefully at the photographs, you will see several skinny horizontal paintings scattered throughout the house.  And those were painted by yours truly.  Missmc is much more comfortable as a filmmaker/video artist in the contemporary art game, but, there they are, a few paintings....

Oh.  You want an economics link with the blatant self-promotion?  Read this.  The contemporary art market really has fallen off a cliff this year.  It ought never to be just about money.  But is there such a thing as pure pleasure to an economist?
