The art of blah blah blog

Blog is a great word. According to Wikipedia (another portmanteau of two words, Wiki and Encyclopedia--another story), the word comes from combining web and log.

But I like to think of it as blahhhhhhhg. blah blah blog.



As an aside, this medium is nearly a 21st Century creation, as the word was created in 2001. Although toward the end of the last century, the roots of the technology were about 30 years old!

As blogs go, it will be good that this post will be buried soon. It may shrivel and die prior to ever having a reader. For sure it will go away without a single clue that anyone other than the author laid eyes on it. Later when massive wealth accumulates as a result of my pure genius, yes, these pages will be scoured by zillions, nay...sbgillions of devoted fans, hoping for some connection to the tips of my moustache hairs. But  for now, we'll be glad that it will fade away as an obscure document written solely because my fingers were here, pecking away to make an even more remote point about...of all things...blah blah blah.

I wanted to post the magazine cover prototype which will briefly appear as the banner for this blog. You devoted readers (blogger statistics reveal that such a reader doesn't yet exist. but i know you're there, lurking, wondrously at the fringes of my stardom) know that this blog is the forerunner to a magazine, promised to be introduced in 2014.

So go do all the things necessary please. Like and share, tweet and pin. Join Frick to Frack and reach back to me in a meaningful way.

Yes there is more than a fair share of nonsense here. But one thing is undeniably true. There will be an art world in the 21st century. And this blog will occupy its rightful place in the pantheon of the genre.

  1. No Mr. Riley. You're wrong! Yes, it is true that until now, not one comment has been penned in reply to your magnificent witcious (a portmanteau of the words witty and precious) writing. But we're here, all of us, the huddled masses. We hang on to each word and we find the topic of the 21st Century Art World to be fascinating. Keep up the good work! Signed, an adoring fan...
