Is art sacred?
Is all art sacred or just some art?
What’s the criteria? What makes some art sacred and not other art?
There are many directions to go with today’s Deep Thought. Go where your heart and head lead you.

Have you noticed in the Art Biz Blog comments that some people have their pictures next to their comments? I recently added this feature when I realized how much I was enjoying seeing people’s faces on other blogs.
Here’s how you can get your universal avatar.
Sign up for an account at Gravatar.
That’s it! Whenever you post a comment using the email address that you registered with Gravatar, your picture appears. I think it took about 10 minutes.
There might be other ways, but this was my solution.
This would be good for you to do if you plan on commenting on this or other blogs that have this feature. It’s nice to connect a face with a comment and, yes, I prefer seeing your face to seeing your art. Avatars with your art are fine, but . . . Remember that blogging is a form of social networking. It’s about connecting with other people. People have faces and we want to see yours.
Note that the blogs you comment on must be configured to allow the gravatar to show up. Many WordPress blogs use the same plug-in as I do, but other blogs might require a special configuration. If you have a blog, this page gives you instructions for adding Gravatars to your blogging platform.
