I take back my opinion on the previous lecture series, this artist not at all resonates with me. In fact, I actively abhor the motifs he employs in his works. I believe it is very lowbrow how he constantly refers to Disney properties and compares them to more “adult” themes like the events of 9/11; its concept is so over done that it gives the viewer very little to reflect upon, very little to think about. It’s not very profound, nor does it add to a conversation. Not to mention the quality of most of his work is crude, and displayed in an unironic manner, which can distract the viewer immensely.
