Lowbrow Art

October 14, 2002 6:01 PM

Lowbrow Art takes its imagery from cartoons , consumer packaging, girlie magazines, big-eyed kitsch, and space-age bachelor pad nostalgia, then combines them into surreal and often nightmarish compositions that appeal to the lowest common denominator in all of us.

Wow. thanks for plenty of stuff to look at, admire, and then curse myself for not being able to do anything remotely close.

Wow. I was stoked when I saw Robert Williams and Ed Roth among the artists on the first site, but they were just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Nice set a links Bali.

I find the idea that someone would pay $1300 for Monkey Rape extremely disturbing.

I'm a big fan of Robt. Williams; even bought some RW trading cards! Art Juxtapoz magazine is a good source for this sort of stuff.
