I know this is hours later and no body will read it. This artist, despite the lovely talk, is not very good. How much endless overgrown adolescent hack artwork must we put up with? Check out 79th street's Adam Baumgold gallery, there is more of it there. Its everywhere. Beyond boring, it angers me now. Enough with the clever (not so clever) rough and sloppy drawing style. Oh, such slashing blood and sex and weirdness! I know some of these artists, they live total boring middle-class lives, with the veneer of down-and-out artist as their fashion and "lifestyle." How about some skills, disciplined draftsmanship, knowledge of anatomy, or anything that would make these drawings worth a second glance. "Not so unique anymore, Boys, time to move on."
