he's a collage artist, not hot anymore. he is terrible at turning up to seminars and lectures. he thinks he's a rock star.

like MLP said, his work WAS groundbreaking at the time and his books were a huge inspiration to my fuct up typography through art college along with Attiks noise books and the clean typo of Neville Brody.
I still look through those books now for inspiration.
:)
I do think carson still deserves the praise for what he did back then. i dont know much about him these days so i cant comment on his pompousness.
BUT i do think that he deserves more kudos than a lot of the people who are today regarded as 'heros' or leaders in technologies like new media by everyone and their dawg

in any way, he must have been in the last decades reason for debates in almost evry design college!

His work was emulated a lot in the late 90's - not sure about his current work - but if its anything like the raygun magazines then I'd say its dated and time to move on.

opened up the use of typography, he will be written about in texts as a influential designer and someone who was responsible for a movement.
