# My mate made the astute observation that the higher you go in the Tate Modern, the more pretentious the artwork becomes.
We got to the top and there was a video loop of a naked young lady covering herself in paint, and then rolling around in feathers. There were several goaty beards in front of this video, hmming and observing the wit of the irony, and I strode up in front of it into the middle of them, put my hands on my hips and declared 'Excellent!'

When it looped back 'round I announced 'Right! I'm off to the toilet!' and my mate dragged me away as he didn't think my comments were being appreciated.

# you should have said:
"hey, I fucked her. That's what she was into as I recall. It was dreadful cleaning the sheets afterwards"

# Jesus.
OK - how is it a drawing of a duck? I assume the numerals are just your internal audit trail/filing.

# It's not a drawing of a duck,

# Hmm.
I don't see any other connection between the title and the drawing other than that you deem it so. It doesn't adhere to, stretch or challenge conventional understanding so much as completely ignores it.

Things that do this (of which, I grant, there are many - the Brit art Brat pack - Hirst, Emin et al) cannot be deemed art, and generally is not worthy of interest.

# Based on this post
I feel it may be fairly safe to ignore your opinion for now.
