FAQ
What’s with the name Art Fag City?
To the best of my knowledge the term art fag was first used to describe pseudo intellectuals and poser artists in the song You’ll Dance to Anything by the Dead Milkmen, though this meaning does not describe the rationale for the blog title. The term simply means to describe Manhattan as an island full of “art fans”, but guess what sounds stupid as a website name? And thus Art Fag City was born.
What a great logo! How do I make one of my own?
Like many fine internet products, the Art Fag City logo began with GR Sites Instant Logo Generator. For a basic version of this logo you can use the generator to make your own. To turn the file into an animated gif, you need superficial technical knowledge of the Adobe ImageReady program. Endless Google results with these instructions found here.
Speaking of which, who designed this AWESOME site?
The site design can be attributed to House of Pretty. I am thankful to have the technical support of Jeff Kirsch on hand.
Why Do You Hate Eric Fischl so much?
I don’t. The Art Fag City bi-line “As relevant as Eric Fischl” pairs the inherent unevenness of blogging, with the career of one artist. I’m not a fan of a lot of his work, but I don’t claim to dismiss it either.
What kind of camera do you use to take your pictures with?
Clearly a really shitty one.
You never used to have comments on your site. Why the change? And why do I have to verify my email address with you to leave a comment? Doesn’t the fact that I’ve written something signify that I exist?
Probably 70% of my readers have complained about not being able to leave comments, and since I enjoy the feedback, (positive and negative), I wanted to open up a space for that to happen. That said, anonymous comments tend to encourage a feedback system I am not interested in. I’m not the Catholic church, God won’t ensure ethical behavior on the site. As such, all email addresses must be verifiable, or the comment will be deleted.
You’re a dude right?
No.
