New Piece of Art in the Herman Household
As many of you know, I went down to SXSW this year to check out the Interactive sessions and while walking through the exhibit hall, I saw that one of my favorite artists, Hugh Macleod of Gapingvoid fame had a booth and was selling some of his original art. I’ve been a fan of his art for years and have always thought about owning some for the home office. Well, now I do.
Below is the original that I acquired:

Why I selected this piece over others was because I think it’s really relevant to me. While I’m not on the Venture Capital or large Angel side of the business (i.e. the guy on the left – in red), I have been known to start and fund companies and always love figuring out a business model. This piece gives me a chuckle each time I read it and it’s relevant to the first and second dot com bubble I’ve lived through.
I also feel right now, this is very relevant to many of the companies being funded.
