There's a GREAT song by R. Crumb (that's right, the cartoonist) and the Cheap
Suit Serenaders called "Fine Artiste Blues". It was released in about 1977 or 78
on an LP on the Blue Goose label. LP was called "Chasin' Rainbows". I believe that it
has been rereleased on cd by Shanachie.
"My paintings are famous and they're worth lots of dough
 pretty girls all hang around my gallery show.
 I'm as good with my paintbrush as I am with my lips
 Hang around, Baby, get some ass-thetic tips.
 Baby, I'm a fine artiste
 Maybe I deserve to be kissed"
