I took no offense at all. Quite to the contrary, it is exactly the sort of sketch that you described. It is very heavy metal-esque, but then there is a sizeable commercial market for that kind of thing, and some of it is very good.
And just for the record, my favorite modern (probably of all genres for that matter) artist is BY FAR HR Giger:
He was the designer for the Alien Creature from the movie franchise "Alien." |
The commercial market is not what I would use to define art, but I guess in a way it is as good as any - my guess is that the $ value of a Pollock fairly represents it's worth as clearly as the $ value of Gigers work does (or anyones).
Your taste runs as I would expect - I would have been shocked if you claimed your favorite was those kids with the huge eyes - or Matisse.
