This is art. Of course I would think so because Jerry Van Amerongen has given me more value than I can calculate. His creativity affects me. Daily.
How?
For starters, I’m a faithful daily fan of Ballard Street, his cartoon.
Additionally, I’m a paying customer. Hanging in my studio are four of his Limited Edition Giclee Prints. I look at them every single day. Jerry impacts my world. In a good way.
His passion serves me. It alters my feelings. It can positively change my emotions.
I’m also a paying customer because I’ve purchased all of Jerry’s books. My personal Facebook page consists almost entirely (and solely) of me posting his daily Ballard Street cartoon – so I’m not just a non-paying fan, and a loyal paying fan, but I’m an evangelist for him, too.
Seth Godin’s most recent book, Linchpin, speaks to the issue of art better than I ever could.
