Few things in life are as personally subjective as taste in art - off the top of my head, I'd say maybe taste in food & taste in music are in the same ballpark.
I spend hours a day immersed in all levels of art. I can appreciate the technical skills which allowed someone to create the above art, even if it doesn't match my preferences. My own personal favorite piece of art was done on a scrap t shirt by a friend who used to work for me. He took t shirt inks and did an abstract painting that just looks amazing to me.
My wife thinks I should throw it away.
I can see why Mike would feel this topic isn't OT, but I don't think the lesson in this case is the taste or lack thereof in Kincaid's art (or housing development golf courses). Rather, it's the constant application of sound business practices combined with constant vigilance.
Starting, growing and running a business - any business - is damn hard, much harder than I'd guess most on here have the tiniest clue about.
