Art Psychic, 2009 Predictions

January 8, 2009 by Dale Laitinen

Dear Readers,

I can tell from the vibes that ’09 is going to be a much better one than just passed, which I care not to even mention by numeral. Hey just kidding ’08 you were okay in my book, no matter what they say about you. It is time to pull out the old box of wrenches and upload my predictions for ’09.

Predictions for ’09

-The “Art World” will be stunned when it is announced that Thomas Kincaide is name head of the National Arts Council, ha gotcha again…just kidding, I doubt if there is even a National Arts Council any longer.

-NASA will make a blunder when it sends a painter into space only to find that the paint floats off the paper due to lack of gravity. When the Shuttle lands astronauts find there space suits are really colorful…real spacy dude.

-To keep his rocks from falling over, famous Scottish artist Andy Goldsworthy, known for his stone stacking talents will turn to a more stable medium, concrete blocks. Ironically his career will then collapse.

-In a related vision, art researchers will discover that Norman Rockwell could not paint rocks well.

-An Arkansas auto mechanic will become the next Jackson Pollock when he begins to make paintings from motor oil drippings.

-Last year I predicted drug companies will market Inspira to help combat the dreaded artists block. Unfortunately new side effects were discovered. Overuse of the drug leads to plagiarism and repetitive use of derivitive motifs.

Cosmically Yours, The Art Psychic

These predictions were received in a foil lined laboratory. Use caution when futuring around cats, it freaks them out.
