I was considering how I could swing the million, but then noticed it is crunchy peanut butter. I prefer creamy.

But keep in mind that you’re not buying that *specific* jar of peanut butter. You’re buying a license to tape your *own* jar of peanut butter to the wall, and a certificate of authenticity. You could make yours creamy if you want.

Creamy is clearly the first telltale sign of a forgery.

Even if I were to supply my own creamy peanut butter, deep inside I would feel, as BillyCoxDodgers3B has stated, that I were creating a forgery. My million will wait until the artist creates a creamy version.

Is the name brand of the peanut butter important to you as well?

I should have paid closer attention...I'm a Skippy man, so hopefully the artist will also produce a line featuring my chosen brand.

LOLOL. Just too much of a generation gap for me. Carry on, cryptobro.

The buyer on Wednesday was Justin Sun, founder of the Tron blockchain network, who outbid six others in the auction. He paid in crypto, Reuters reported.

"This is not just an artwork," Reuters reported Sun telling Sotheby's in a statement shortly after the purchase. "It represents a cultural phenomenon that bridges the worlds of art, memes, and the cryptocurrency community. I believe this piece will inspire more thought and discussion in the future and will become a part of history."

And leaves painted surfaces intact when removed. I wall-mount all my produce and food product jars under 3 pounds with it.

Duct tape makes it art, so that is why avoid using it. To avoid potential lawsuits, of course.

Do you have a special technique for mounting raspberries and blueberries? Those always give me trouble.

Silicone backing and drip mat. Keeps from staining the walls/floors and countertops.

Wax paper, aluminum foil and general apathy about the appearance of your kitchen area is also encouraged.

Don,

You carry on with your Avant-Garde work. The peasants and nay sayers will always have something to say.

The banana art is a cheap imitation of Andy Warhols album cover art.

Peanut butter with blue trim tape is inspired.

I've been using the same technique for years, but like all true artistes, my focus will always be solely dedicated to the nude female form.*

You might try cutting off an ear to see if that will accelerate your artistic fame.

I would bet 99.9% of the population would think paying hundred or thousands of dollars for an extremely simple piece of paper with a picture of a young athletic man in a uniform is just as silly. Probably think it is even stranger it is mainly older men buying those mass produced pictures for more than a few coins.

Not to mention that it's men buying and hoarding pictures of other men. I mean what's with that?

Plus these days it's older men collecting pictures of young men....
