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" etc
