$400 for a print of 30 Christmas tree car fresheners, three of which are red?

Seriously?

Am I missing the message of this print to make it all worthwhile?

I mean, to each his or her own in terms of taste and creativity...but...wow. I really don't get it.

This is about as good as it gets from Cartrain. He's been 16 years old for the last 3 years, his work is spectacularly bad and his only thing of note that he's done so far is to get in Damien Hirst bad books for blatant plagiarism.

The online 'gallery' which represents him are just as opportunistic and awful as he his.

I wouldn't put this on my wall if were given to me plus $400.

Just my 2 cents.
