where's the art?

my desktop - i'm doing color tests for gene yang's next book

i don't usually surf popular channels on the net but recently decided to give hulu a try. i watched some cartoons, and thought 'oh, it's okay, i can deal with commercials i guess. the pictures are nice.' but when i searched the hulu catalog it was startling to see only one show appear under the 'arts and culture' catagory. i repeated my search several times just to make sure i wasn't mistaken. it's bad enough that it's a single episode on style (hot fashion, to be exact), but that its all by its lonesome just makes me think the worst. maybe there isn't any public interest in 'arts and culture'. maybe it's not entertaining enough a topic to be on hulu. maybe hulu can't make enough money off of it to be worth its while. i don't know. i've decided to return to my old ways - sans commercials, art everywhere. see you around, hulu.
