Haring is ok. He insists upon himself sometimes.  |

without accounting for his American Gothic, he would not be well known. While his style is somewhat recognizable, it is nothing more than well done paintings in modern realism style. Therefore, he is not successful in the broad based terms that he lived a successful career of selling his work not only to survive, but to glean prices for his work that are of the same caliber of American Gothic consistently. if i remember right, he did all sorts of freelance work to supliment his income along his carreer. A true A level painter can get away with selling B or even C level work at A level prices simply because his name is on it.
No beer for you just yet  |

close, but I have 2 issues. I did not reccognize his name and had to google it. However i have seen his work before. The other issue is that he died in a motorcycle accident before he had hid first solo show.
close one though.. maybe worthy of a basket of bar popcorn |

I know of one glass artist that falls into my category of modesty and fame- Billy Morris (william). By far one of the best as far as technique goes.

Basquiat is one of my heros.. I think there are 2 types of artists.. those who are good and fight tooth and nail to get where they are, then there are those who are connected and while are good, were allowed to do their work with success as a granted outcome. |

Artists are not full of themselves, they promote themselves out of necessity. Participating in the art community, showing, selling, working one's way into a scene - none of it works if you wait for the phone to ring.
There have been several suicides among prominent artists over the years. I suppose if you kill yourself, then you are certainly not full of yourself - unless of course you count full of self loathing.
