Saatchiart.com is changing the game

As a painter and photographer I've been told that I have a great eye.

In my real world, the one back home, scrubbing and tidying up really get in the way of getting things done.

Donut boot camp was like competing in an Iron Chef with yourself. Dirty all the pots and bowls, drop an egg from time to time, ramp up the speed of the mixer to get that “ribbony” dough, do culinary battle with the other donut-meisters crowding the bubbling pots. Get dizzy over...
