Damn, Dave Pressler is cool as hell. The others are skilled too, a little too gothy-angry for me though. Still, it's snazzy shit. PS Picasso is the man! I fucking love Cubism. Warhol's a pioneer, but I don't know enough about him to really judge.

SO there's this chick by the name of Aurel Schmidt who is kicking in my face with her talent. I went to a show of hers called "Man Eater" and it's just these ridiculous drawn assemblages of dildos, cigarettes, bags of weed, joints, cocaine and straws, blood, bones, makeup, food, pigeons, insects, rats, vaginas and condoms thrown all over the place, and they are all fucking BEAUTIFULLY drawn. It's basically a giant middle finger to Modernist art, and anything done in the name of "progress".

Plus, she's only 25 and self-taught. I might as well give up right now.

Unfortunately, here website sort of sucks, but it has a few cool things on it. Check 'er out.
