ART AND THE BOUNCY BANKER: Letter to the Bank #14

The Bruxist Collective's take on Art and (as Alfred Jarry might put it) P'finance.

A numerically dyslexic artist (and reluctant consumer) shares his dearth of financial wisdom and resulting frustrations with his Bank Manager. Read personal letters from the elusive Art to his even more elusive Bank Manager. See a comic rendition of a Day In The Life Of The Bouncy Banker. Art struggles to make sense of the senseless as the Authorities of Finance wobble but never quite fall down. Full of hot air they float above it all! When they bounce it is with impunity! Why are there no Remorseful Bankers? Can Art and Finance ever coexist? Do you have a Blue Chip on your shoulder?

When bankers get together they talk about Art. When artists get together they talk about money. Oscar Wilde

Letter to the Bank #14

Dear Bank,

I’m just staring right now, staring as the value of my only asset drops! I can literally see the foundations of my home sinking into the soft clayey soil, the home where I have raised—not only two fine young whippersnappers—but also some very fine pumpkins! What shall I do when the cost of my mortgage is more than the value of my home? Should I walk away? You tell me-you are, after all, a banker! You know what the responsible thing to do is…don’t you?

Aggrieved as usual,

K

PS Sorry if I am repeating myself.
