Somehow this reminds me of the painter Amedeo Modigliani. He was a dirt
poor drug addict and tried to pay his rent with his paintings. The landlord
didn't think much of the painter and literally used the paintings to line
his bird cages. Much to the landlord's chagrin, within years Modigliani became
posthumously famous and the paintings would have been worth a fortune.
