What's your first memory?
Here's mine, ready?
All my life, I knew I was
destined for one thing.
To be a great artist.
From the very beginning, I knew
exactly what my medium would be
and I knew, with every
fiber of my being
that... that my
creations were going
to be tremendous works of art.
the deepest of ways,
make them see
things differently,
see themselves differently.
Make them say to each other,
"this here, this
is truly great."
But somehow,
something, somewhere
along the way went, I
don't know,...Wrong.
Herman!
It's 3:
00 in the morning,what are you doing?
Mom, I'm working!
show my work to
Ms. Klein herself.
Look, if you want
Ms. Klein to see it,
it has to go through me first.
That's just how it works.
Fine, okay.
It's a commentary
on how our country's
eco-imperialist policies
directly correlate
to the rise of carbon monoxide
in the earth's atmosphere.
It's a mobile.
I'm making your favorite.
much time down there.
You need to get out more.
I need to work.
What work?
You don't work.
If I had a job, then when
would I have time
for my art, mom?
Besides, making mobiles is the
only thing that I'm good at.
Maybe it's time you
found something else.
What do you want me to do, huh?
You want me to quit?
Oh, Hermann.
Bring me the skins,
will you, dear?
What about your uncle?
He can give you
some good advice.
Why don't you call him?
Uncle Felix?
Crazy uncle Felix, who
makes jewelry out of shells?
What?
Come on.
What "come on"?
He make beautiful earrings, see?
He doesn't even
make those himself.

He exploits them, he
pays them pennies,
he sells his art for hundreds.
He's a total hack.
You show respect.
Ever since your father died he
He's a good man.
He's a hack.
Helps with the bills
more than you do.
I'm not calling him, okay?
I'm just saying for
your own good, Hermann!
You know, you're not
getting any younger.
Can you crank, dear?
Hermann.
Joel, where's your piece?
- Not finished yet.
- Pfft.
I know what you're thinking.
You see, it's all part
of my new technique.
I call it "instantaneous art."
the tortured artist
investing months in one piece.
It just seems so... Historic.
You don't have a piece, do you?
You ever been
struck by lightning?
Great art is like lightning.
It's effortless, only
takes an instant to create.
And when it hits you, wham!
Know what I mean?
Pretty pictures!
Pretty pictures!
Hiya, chief.
I didn't know you had
a showroom in this neighborhood.
I branched out.
Want me to try selling
some of your work?
You get a fair cut.
Yeah, I make real art,
not, uh, whatever this is.
Oh, I see, you make real art.
I ever tell you about
my friend Marlon?
Have a seat, chief.
Marlon was a painter,
poor son of a b*tch.
He was convinced he
was the next Kandinsky.
Only it turns out, he couldn't
paint worth half a damn.
I mean, it's plain to
everybody he stinks.
Only no one has the guts
to tell him, you know?
Sure.
So the guy struggles
his whole life.
Only it's not working,

Ate his insides out.
One day, he comes by talking
about some lizard he found.
He got obsessed with
the way they can
break off their tails, you know,
to escape from danger.
Survival mechanism.
Anyway, it must
