This is exactly my point. And, whl10, I see Kaws and Invader in your ISOs. You consider those guys "original" or "talented"? Hell, arranging some tiles in the shape of a pixelated alien seems much easier than painting a giant mural.

Stop comparing this guy to kaws my god. First off kaws started off his career in the streets as a graffiti writer and then came to fame with one of the most original ideas out there with his ad disruption campaign that he did for years. Then he came out with his companion figure which was also extremely original. Now he does his abstract work which is just next level IMO . jerk face and kaws aren't even in the same universe creatively.

I am very capable of doing simple, as well as complex, math, but laying it out on graph paper and translating that to a 60+ foot high wall in paint are two completely different things.
a square is a square. a grid is a grid. proportions are proportions. ratios are ratios. i think you might be selling yourself short here.

I have no idea how to do any of that fudge anymore.

I would never compare the two. Those two artists are clearly not in the same league.

I was merely saying that it's fine to not like Jerkface because you don't think he's clever or well executed. I'm not going to argue with anyone about that. But to say he has no talent as an artist is just hyperbole.

The companion is "extremely original"? It's drymounting Mickey Mouse with a skull and crossbones. And, again, I own some campanions, but don't consider them original. And, the Kaws comparison is completely valid because what he's currently doing is really not much different than what Jerk does. They both appropriate characters from pop culture and put them in a different composition.

Prints available. I just mocked this up in PS. Didn't exactly follow the rules posted earlier on how to make a Jerkface but I think I kind of nailed it.

EDIT: And yes, I did make sure that this exact image wasn't already in the database before I did it, surprisingly it wasn't..

usual suspects & butt babies, yup sounds about right

Here's some relevant knowledge for this thread. The word "whether" is a synonym for the word "if," and thefore it is incorrect to say "whether or not" because that'd be akin to saying "if or not." as such, the correct statement, or query, is "whether this artist is orginial/a hack/talented, etc."

Yup. EB in general is one big exercise in selective outrage.

Keep going guys, some of you are very close to winning this debate over whether the art you like is better than the art other people like.
