June 14, 2011

I was ready to hate this guy, because I expect arrogance from artists.

I like the gum artist's work.; 6/14/11, 9:15 AM

I'm also fascinated that he's an outsider artist who ain't crazy, or even a little weird.; 6/14/11, 10:24 AM

The pictures are very clever, but this is in the same ballpark as Laura Ziskin's blow for feminism.; 6/14/11, 10:25 AM

Philzer said...: I'm an artist myself, using pen-and-ink, charcoal, and acrylic paint as my media. (Not all at once!) I'm also a political conservative, and a Christian - for what it's worth. Art actually keeps me humble. I do portraits in black and white, and paint aviation, motorcycle, and glamour scenes. My art keeps me humble - simply because it challenges me! (And I admit to being sensitive to criticism.); 6/14/11, 12:36 PM
