JJ: You see, Michael, while it'd be great to sell a few pieces tonight, the main thing is to get picked up by a major gallery. After that, it's just a matter of collector exposure. When your deal sells a work by an established artist, he throws in one of yours to get your name around. It's called coat-tail careering. Within a matter of weeks, you've got prospective buyers from major museums coming to your studio to watch your paintings while they dry. Mike: What's that called? JJ: The test of time.

She does become a sort of successful artist. Successful enough to support the worthless Zeke (Uncle Stupidhead)
