Joey Jones wasn’t trying to sell art at a higher premium for being painted bravely by an artist with an injured hand or whatever.

Didn’t Van Gogh cut off his ear for his art?

**I think she could paint that sort of stuff blindfolded.**

I wouldn’t go that far, but will say I wouldn’t give $50 for a room full of her art. A guy’s gotta try to make a profit.
