Jeremy Fish draws great looking skulls (And has a sweet beard), John Burgerman puts so much shit in one illustration he gives you the illusion that he can actually draw, KAWS draws neat....X's on things he stole, and Kozik has convinced the world that putting a crudely drawn cigarette in anything makes it art, but no one, and I mean no one holds a candle to Greg 'Craola' Simkins.
Now,Maybe it's the eight big gulp size mojitos I plan to consume by the time I finish this blog. (Starting now.) But if anyone wants to fight me on this subject, I'll bne the guy hunched over thetoilet.
Greg's art is tjhe perfect comvbination o f pop culkture cartoonism and surrealism. I recentlyhad the good fiortune of prokuring a setof hjis wonderfulll mini proint setsfrom gallerty 1988.

Oh..whoa. Sorry I passed out I guess. Who's piss is this? Geez. Anyway, what I was trying to say was, I really like my new prints. And you ought to do yourself a favour and check out Greg's work. It's really amazing.
(Seriously, if anyone knows who's piss this is, please contact me. I don't want to know, I have to know.)
