The little Saturn looks a little out of place, better for a lowbrow (if I must) style. However, still a very nice piece.

In fact wasn't it your work that was recently in a spot on Juxtapose online or something? My perceptions of the "isms" of art (as well as most other things) are often different from concensus views I think.Please take no offense, you have a wonderful style regardless. Personally, when it comes to the magazines and such, I have fallen out with what Juxtapose currently suggests to be lowbrow. I am more drawn to the work showcased in Hi Fructose these days, although both magazines exhibit admirable work. .........I think I need to get out more.........

I don't generally like either, I'm more of a 'old film/anime/games' as art type of person. I think they're great for helping new talent but it seems lately, and even on the booooooom art blog, they just keep promoting the same people over and over again. I guess its just how it is. All magazines are sortof a circle-jerk right now.

I don't really think I'm lowbrow. I just know that others do. And I think that categories don't really mean anything anymore. They're just a way to explain art in a way that makes sense, but art is an experience...how can you categorize an experience as just one or two things?

Thanks for your critique. I still love planets but I'll be more careful with symbols in future pieces.

I love old film, not interested in games of any kind but particularly not the electronics (I'm a real stick-in-the-mud), and I pretty much despise anime. You are right about magazines such as Hi Fructose promoting the same people, but I really like those people (that is to say their art work.) that is the irony of so-called Lowbrow, they too have their elite. And since I don't live in Cali or NY I see very little of that type of work. Here around DC the museums dominate so there can be no burgeoning young art scene (with some exceptions). At any rate it is the same in all those glossies: galleries pay to advertise in them and the magazines promote the artists of those galleries. So-called "vanity galleries" and co-ops, and alternative spaces are looked down on, but for True non-elitisism and being open to new ideas they do a much better job. But I should probably get off this soap-box now.

Everything is an experience and we categorize them for communication; sex, death, parchesi, whatever. When it comes to the more abstract things, such as Art, categorization does get pretty pretentious, but we do get a general idea of what each other is talking about if only on a sort of superficial level.

I certainly hope that nothing I say ever influences you to "be careful" about anything in your work. It is totally hot just the way it is. Keep up with the great stuff!
