Laughing Rembrant worth $40 million

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080619/ap_on_en_ot/art_rembrandt_laughing

Above the the URL to an AP story of a Rembrant self-portrait that went up for auction. The purchaser paid a over $4million for it, but since experts have verified that Rembrant really did paint the portrait of himself, it is worth at least 9 times that.

Which brings me to a fun creative question. What are your artistic wildest dreams? Do you want to have a self-portrait worth millions of dollars (while you're still alive)? Perform at Lincoln Center?

I'll admit I want to make my Votre Vray play of women's creative lives into an HBO special, with Eve Ensler as my MC. I'll perform in front of a sold out crowd, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, NOW and...and....
Okay. I'll breathe. This is pretty heady stuff.

So? Share already! I would love to know where your creative vibes are headed.
