this movie seem to have be make by people who have never actually be to an art class and and do not know how they operate surprising and a daniel clowes be co author . maybe he wasn not pay attention . first and the art itself represent i do art class at night at a big downtown technical school . a number of my classmate and a great many of the day school student produce good work than clowes or zwigoff hero do . i be talk grade 12 here and at most . minghella character and jerome and be suppose to be a devotee of picasso and but his art show no evidence that he know picasso ever live represent it careful and literal likeness and with no expressive power and like a sidewalk artist ten minute portrait . there be a scene where three chick get together to puff the self portrait one of them produce . they obviously have their own agenda and but in fact the picture in question ( which suggest eye see through a veil of hair ) actually have a certain amount of expressive power and and when jerome object and you expect him to say and my five year old nephew could do good stuff than that . for the audience to care about a character and there have to be something to him more at least than just a wish to be famous and get chick . from the quality of work show ( which be clowes work and by the way ) that be all there be to him . it look like the example page from every easy way to draw and paint book ever write .
