While exploring we-make-money-not-art, I decided to check out Art in Seoul, seeing as I have no idea where Seoul is. I found a rather witty project created by Damian Ontiveros Ramirez, titled Adam Smith: a million of good reasons to become a millionaire. The reason I believe that this piece interests me so much is because I love when I hear about things I have learned in school that I never thought I would hear about again, such as Adam Smith, a man I studied in Economics two years ago. Ramirez requested the help of some college students in recreating economist Adam Smith and plans to draw 1,000,000 portrayals of the famous economist making money by performing different actions i.e. hula hooping, as seen below. I really appreciate the humor in the piece, which is another reason why I wrote about it. It is humorous to me that the author would depict a cartoon version of an 18th century philospher/economist doing all different outlandish activities in order to make money, especially the hula hoop!
