Bad art you can believe in
I have a friend who attributes much of the bad art he sees to a “world famous artist” named Gary Gooper. I don’t know Gary Gooper’s political affiliation if he even has one, but I’m pretty sure he approves of the staggering work of genius No. 44 has already inspired less than two months into […]
