Re: The accepted (woops!) definition of art.

Excuse my spell check.  I, of course, meant "accepted" not "excepted 
theory of art.

I also didn't formulate this theory, I've only studied art theory 
extensively
and found this to be the best way to separate what I do from, as Tom Attix
cited, someone who makes "really good french fries."

I will counter and say that art is not where you find it.  Inspiration is
where you find it.  Because you find art in a closet, the closet is not 
art.
