The last art I bought was the Dr. Mcninja comic books from [Topatoco](www.topatoco.com), wow, that was a while ago. I guess I'm not really in the art-buying demographic, and some people would not count this as art, but the way the art style was done -- the first cover especially -- just stood out to me. I do not have the later books so maybe that should be my birthday present this year eh?

A few years before that, I bought a sungoddess canvas print in person from Tribal Voice an Emo/Goth/Hippy/Alt/Punk local business. I guess it's a bit like Hot Topic? The shop has now moved a few shops down, and was replaced by a super generic sports shop. That's kind of ironic to me, a counter-culture shop being replaced with it's almost exact opposite.

Anyhow, how can you value art? I love that comic so supporting it was definitely worth it to me. I never hung the canvas print up so was that a waste of money? It was the first 'art' I had ever bought, and certainly the only thing with *gasp* a partially nude lady figure on it. So personally it was very liberating, I felt like I expanded my horizons and that was worth the money to me.
