I think calling Jon Burgerman brilliant is a stretch. His front page stuff looks like a weird amalgam of Yoshitomo Nara and Futura. What makes him original is bad drawing... a lack of technique due to no conceptual purpose.
Sure, www.neasdencontrolcentre.... and www.mr-bingo.co.uk/ and others posted (or not) on this thread may have child-like drawings (poor technique), but use them creatively in new ways. I can't see how something [truly] new (in whatever way) can be illegitimate fine art based on it's lack of technique.
It seems that the distaste for this underdeveloped drawing style should question less its deserved place in the art world and more why people are responding to this art favorably today. And if they weren't, we wouldn't be seeing it everywhere.
And finally for the record, I mostly can't stand the stuff myself as a matter of personal taste and appreciation for certain aesthetics over others - but when I do see it used it unique ways, I appreciate it.
