Our art is supposed to be influenced by suburbia, not our lives.

That's my favorite line from Advice from a Caterpillar, which we watched last week. Recommended for the gays, the art world, and all of us who love both.

Speaking of suburbia, Bill Owens's series of photographs of that title is excellent. There is a book too.
