i am not talking about picasso, verhoeven, baquiat, neasden etc. etc. (though there is a reason "all art is shit" and "all shit is art" ;D). and i am DEF not talking about explodingdog.
i am talking about the recent (yes, as somebody said in here, or maybe not so recent) "skate" graphics everybody and their milkman's cousin are doing.. forget about paint drips and pseudo-graffiti. i understand good and bad is subjective but when something looks like shit it looks like shit. it's not really a case of "that's good (technically or otherwise) but i don't like it." people might want to draw like children so they can understand the process of a "not-fully-developed" brain (you know what i mean) (or even be children again? i don't know) interpreting things, but designers who have a sense of style and aesthetic trying to make things look exactly like theyre not supposed to (and again, i am not talking about stylization) seems like a copout to me. i hardly think it's lack of ability but (maybe) their need to make something different.. and/or irregular for the sake of it.
people who do it the right way (not saying their shit is "bad" but good, but it's good but might come off as incomplete or unintentional..): kevin lyons, supermundane, some of the new radiohead graphics, etc. etc. etc.
i hope you can understand what i am trying to say as i am not the best with language..
