The Artless informs Art, Advertising and Design

Tattoos and Graffiti...There is no longer any question that the "artless" or as some label it "outsider art" informs all forms of expression in our visual world. It is simply amazing how quickly it jumped the shark to the luxury marketplace. Is there even the slightest bit of irony intended or should we take this all at face value? I guess it is just an attempt to stand out in the crowded marketplace. Interesting development, some lovely images, but I wouldn't bet my brand and reputation on it.

In the interest of full disclosure, I actually covet an Ed Hardy tee - if only it flattered this boomer body of mine.
