ART AND THE BOUNCY BANKER: bouncy banker

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

This blog has taken way to long to top 10,000 views but finally did so this week. Maybe Art and The Bouncy Banker is only just beginning to find its feet. What began as the semi-biographical musings, ravings and satirical commentary of an oppressed home owner, artist and family man to his fictional bank manager and sometime therapist, evolved into a forum for anything pertaining to that place where art and finance collide or collude. Reposts of related stories from the blogosphere will occur less often now that everyone is feeling something of the same fury I felt when I began this blog. Henceforth the majority of posts will concern a comic and absurdist portrayal of "A Day In The Life Of The Bouncy Banker". Art O'Connor's letters to his bank manager, AKA the Bouncy Banker, the BM, and Mr. Bullrider, will continue sporadically as the need arises. As the Bouncy Banker's nemesis Art O'Connor will make it his job to be a perpetual thorn in Bullrider's rear end, behind and...let us not beat about the bush...bottom.

Now that I've stopped pretending I know anything about finance despite semi-serious attempts to understand what things like toxic assets and zombie banks are, you can be confident you are in good hands. Please help me increase my audience by sharing "The Bouncy Banker" with your friends. Thank you.
