It seems that everywhere you look these days, in the art world, everyone who is trying to be 'cool' and 'in the now' and 'trendy' and 'accepted' is basing their art on the foundation of 60s POP Art. Most young artists paint/draw/create 'characters' or 'Icons' that are easily recognizable. Cartoon art. Graphic art. Fucken T-SHIRT ART, for christ sake. I say, get over it. It was cool back in the 60s when Warhol and Lichtenstein, etc, created it. But now it comes off as you people just being LAZY. Thinking that you can just jump on the bandwagon and make up some dumb character or some hip/trendy graphic image/icon and put it on T-Shirts and that you're an artist. Call yourself what you will, but don't forget about the rest of us who just see you as pathetic talentless hacks, trying to fit in. Go have your 'Gallery Show' at some trendy bar or club and just see who of credibility, reverence and importance shows up. It may be packed, but its not the size of your army, it's the people in it. Try working with Oils, a palette knife and a live model. That takes effort, time and talent. It's not art if you can make it by pressing a button(sorry Warhol, although you would have loved this concept, it's the young trendsters that have now ruined all your original thoughts and ideas). I hope I have insulted everyone who's young and thinks they're gonna be the next Shep. And I don't care in the least if no one ever reads this.
