But in SoHo last week, a new exhibition of Taupin's paintings brought out buyers who spent tens of thousands of dollars for each one of Taupin's works.
It doesn't cost anything to go to the Chase Contemporary Gallery and look at this exhibition which is called "Ragged Glory".
"This is far more my day job than the songwriting because I only write songs when we're going to make an album. Back in the early days in the early, early '70s we were writing all the time, but now I only write songs or collaborate on sings with Elton when we're going to actually make a record," Taupin said.
The great lyricist-turned-artist Taupin's show at Chase Contemporary is up through November 19.
