ART AND THE BOUNCY BANKER: Letter to the Bank #20

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 #20

Dear Mr. Banks,

I know credit is frozen! I know! But can you throw me a bone here? Something! I don’t mean to air my dirty laundry but it does need to be cleaned. How can I show myself in public? Surely you can appreciate my dilemma? I’m perfectly happy to clean it myself but could you see your way to loaning me, at the very least…a stick of quarters? Oh whom am I kidding? You always look good. You always look so spiffy, so spic n’ span in your starched whites or your fancy designer shirts (things are loosening up a bit these days I noticed). You guys (it is mostly guys) probably don’t even know the meaning of dirty laundry. Correct me if I am wrong.

Yours currently naked but thoroughly decent,

K
