Where Does Art Come From......

What I know...that when you gentrify...you destroy the very thing you were seeking to preserve.....
If you want amazing furniture, wow-ing architecture, stunningly craftful clothes.....artists must have the wild place from which to draw inspiration.....and we need room to live out our lives....which are necessarily wilder than yours...
if you draw, write, paint, act, create from nothingness.....in the traditional artist sense....not to be confused with "traditional art".....well, Leave the artists alone.
or all you will have is Government buildings and nothing but Dockers......

When I'm not doing all the 42 billions things I do all day....I make stuff ...and I post it here at eBetty Diy....for ya'll.....

Here's some sweet inspiration.....
One of my favorite blogs ...Lulu's......never fails to charge my batteries....to come up with a project...


The bubbly and informative....Design Sponge....
From which an amazing torrent of beauty, shockingly amazing and crumbly goodness flows
