    Joshua Davis may not be the most talented traditional designer, but what is that supposed to be anyways these days?

    I flip/flop a lot regarding his type of work. I remember fist coming across it 10 years ago and being completely blown away, it was unlike anything I had ever seen. Less than a year later, I did a pencil drawing in the style that took me a month to draw because I was so sick of trying to emulate his shit on the web. As we can clearly see today, his "decorative" approach has consumed the mainstream, in one form of the other, so you can't deny his influence.

    Whether you like his work or not, the guy's got a great story and, imho, deserves a great deal of respect for the way he managed to cut his teeth in this industry.
