Title: Cool Wizards Wear Sunglasses

Artist: Goldgear 4200

“Goldgear 4200 has been trying to break into the art scene for some time with disappointing results, need I remind you of the amateurish “Wardrobe Does His Taxes”, or the sophomoric “A Mundane Day at the Park”? Finally though the automaton has reached the heights of his namesake, producing a work worthy of Goldgears 1 through 4199. The question posed in this new work? Can wizards be cool? Through slavish commitment to this thesis, Goldgear answers with a triumphant ‘Yes’.”

"Monke calls this challenging work 'Monkey in a Fez,' but upon analysis it's clear the piece is so much more. Look closely and you'll notice an almost imperceptible detail: the monkey is also wearing a rad necklace." –Art Critic

"What is the nature of art? That is the question being grappled with in Happ13 Accidents' post-modern, metatextual *masterpiece*. And the answer, of course, is the frame itself. Gold frames are great." –Art Critic

"Aren't we all just bits of dust, searching the cosmos for deeper meaning? And if not deeper meaning, will a rose by a masked gentleman do? Bit-nary explores this in a series of paintings of (boom) anime babes who make us all think the wrong things." –Art Critic

"Dogs are loyal, compassionate creatures. But this provocative painting by Van Doggo 'begs' an important question of the viewer: What if their faces were a little weird? Would we still be into them?" –Art Critic

"This painting by RoboKat explores the everyday reality cat owners know too well: the experience of a cat staring at you with one solid gold eye. This truism of cat parenthood is now immortalized for generations to come." –Art Critic
