Day #260 - Cliché art

Something has been bothering me since last Thursday night.

And I think it's because the wrong person won.

Secret Wars is a contest pitting two artists against each other over 90 minutes with nothing but black ink and a canvas.

there were a lot of things wrong (IMHO) with both artists but only one produced original art, although the main character of his piece (probably about 60% of the piece) was very weak it was at least original (haha just heard Brooke Shields say cliché about 5 times on the Tonight Show), the guy that won drew little characters that you've seen a hundred times over in different street art works, so, unless he is the person that is goin around doing all of these works (which I very much doubt) he's just reproducing other people's ideas.

I did like the winners lettering although it wasn't a writing contest was it?

I'm really hoping that round 2 will showcase 2 unique artists to really show what Sydney can produce, considering this is a competition with global exposure it was a little embarrassing to see what these two 'artists' produced on behalf of the Sydney art community.

HAaaaaaaaaa, now I feel better, geez I'm on a rant quest today.

sorry....
