Really good advertising is something special. Some years ago (eight or nine?) there were these surreally beautiful ads for Canada. One of those - when I heard that first atonal flute trill I dropped whomever or whatever I was doing and went to watch.

Thomas Kincade astounds me. Such baltant and cynical commercialism. And the PRICES. The concept of hiring starving artists and harnessing them as "highlighters" oto "customize" the customer's formulaic bit of pap is brilliant. Evil but brilliant.

Those velvet Naked Barbie pictures are more honest art.

Yes- pop culture art. That works for me. Some of that aluminum ware from the 40's and 50's is WONDERFUL (the hand tooled stuff)- I especially like the designs by Rodney Kent. Now that is quality work, and artistic, and yet essentially a popular art form.
