Recently we spent a fair amount of blog space ripping apart the trailer for the soon-to-be premiered Bravo show, Work of Art: The Next Great Artist. So, it’s one month and four episodes later and we can’t take our eyes off it. Not because it’s a total trainwreck or completely laughable, but because it’s [...]
