Bad jazz art.

[Dmitry]

Speaking of DSM and his Bird...this, to me, looks a bit ambiguous.

I don't know if it's "bad art" or not, but I bought this Christmas ornament a couple of years ago

That's cool. He sketches them during gigs, and has the musicians autograph them? There was an old guy about 15 years ago painting live gigs during Vision Festival, and selling them on the spot. They all looked the same to me. These are much better.

Here's a NY Times article on him. The musicians all know him.

I bet these sell well in New Orleans. 

 

[Dmitry]

 

Estimate: $900 - $1,200

Description: Title: Miles Davis Artist: Mr. Brainwash Dimensions: 30 x 22.5 Medium: Original serigraph on paper Signature: Hand signed by the artist Year: 2015 Edition: 39 from the limtied edition of 50

 

A wise investment in art, if I'd ever seen one. I'll take two of these.

Airbrushing over a photograph - 1 hour, paints, beer and tools - $100.

$250,000 spent by parents on Mr.Brainwash's RISD BFA degree - priceless.

"[Mr. Brainwash] was a proprietor of a used clothing store, where he began as a security guard, and amateur videographer who [...] "evolved" into an artist in his own right in a matter of weeks after an off-hand suggestion from Banksy."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Brainwash

The wikipedia entry makes it sound like "Airbrushing over a photograph - 1 hour, paints, beer and tools - $100." is a more accurate description of the education Mr Brainwash went through to become an artist who can occasionally sell stuff above 100000...

Touché...

See, I told you $1,000 was a bargain.

What's the big deal about the late period Warhol paintings? Bad Art replaced Pop Art? It just doesn't do anything for me. I know, de gustibus...

He was there when I attended in 2007. I spent most of my time up in the balcony, so I never got a good look at what he was drawing. It looked rather complex from my vantage point. I wonder if it was the same artist?

Evidently the artist drinks too much.
