Are corner stores the highest integration of art and life? Maybe not, but they’re pretty close. To respond to this week’s theme, I drew a convenience store in a two story building. The apartment (life) is above and the convenience store (art) is below.
You might ask, “are convenience store art?” Well, I don’t know. But maybe the distinction between art and life could be that life is private aspect of existence and art is the public aspect of existence.
If that isn’t what art is, if art means basically painting, sculpture, etc. (which I am fine with), then convenience stores are not art. In that case, I drew a picture (art) of a convenience store (life). I think I’m covered either way here.
Three cheers for the revamped rhino!

A welcoming looking store. The suggestion of what's inside is Hopper-esque

A nice drawing. I think my favorite stores in the the convenience store model that I’ve been to are those I visited in Georgia. They were convenience stores I think because they were stores with no other obvious theme. Batteries. Food. Toys. Whatever. They were very small – but what made them special was that in addition to some certified garbage candy, you could also get a wheel of cheese made by someone’s grandma, and bread baked that day, and homemade wine in a reused soda bottle. It would be cool if we had a healthier and more down-to-earth economy.
