I don't think so.
I have no idea what art is, but I know that it's usually open to interpretation. This looks fairly literal.
In saying that, however, again - I know nothing about art except that's it's a pile of wanky shit and it makes my knuckles itch when I hear some precious, worthless tossbag gaying on about it.

That's a good size for a Yum-Yum.

Art or not, it made me laugh my ass off, and that's good for something.

It's pretty sweet. I think though, that the amount of effort you put into it, would rate engraved brass labels.

confession: ( I can't remember if placard is the correct spelling!)

hmm.. that's kind of a limited definition. I absolutely consider the ceiling of the sistine chapel to be art, but regardless of space issues, wouldn't want it in my home.

And, honestly, while I like what you've done I wouldn't want it in my home. Even if it IS art, it's too "bachelor chic" even for me.

I don't know if its art or not. But I do know it's better than a new version of Dogs Playing Poker.

Well, according to my theatre professor last semester, it is made by humans, has some sort of meaning, a medium of some sort, and invokes a reaction - so YES!, it is art!

Modern so-called "art"? I don't think it qualifies. What is the meaning? No one knows - which is the same as saying that it doesn't have one.
