Work of Art: The Next Great Artist

Yes, I was a bit skeptical when I heard

BRAVO would be airing a reality art competition.

After watching episode 1 of the Sarah Jessica Parker-

produced series, all skepticism was gone. The

little doses of creativity and watching the artists'

processes are enough to keep me interested —

then there are always the personalities that

come into play with these types of shows.

Episode three was especially enjoyable as the

contestants created new book covers for

classic pieces of literature. Here is the

well-deserved winner of that challenge

(The Time Machine, John Parot). I just

wish Penguin had placed the BRAVO "strip"

somewhere less distracting.
