In the 90s? I impulse-bought one of those Lisa Frank 1000+ sticker books at Rite Aid and decoupaged myself a sick iPhone case this year. (Which I get a surprising number of compliments on, actually.) Needless to say, I kind of dig this.

Just because it can be considered "art" under some definition of the word, doesn't mean we can't call it just plain fucking god awful, and mock it as such.

Hi you rule. Nail on the head with the "some guy whose name we don't know" comment. Literally if this was a non-celebrity man people would be all about it. Typical Jezebel.

Could easily say it's a mirror for our instant gratification and heavily saturated oriented consumption culture. She's a product of it and therefore her products are the what she knows. Assault your visual cortex with information and color and whether or not you enjoy it, it made an impact. The need to infantilize her…

I agree with your first point (re: walmart), but must respectfully disagree with the last one. Art can have meaning, but visual art is unique in that it can also exist without meaning to the viewer and still be really good. Or bad. This took creative thought on her part, even if that thought was, "Yaaaaas, I'm gonna…

Well I like it. *shrug*

I just...nah. I don't hate it, I definitely don't like or love it. It looks like back to my nannying days when it would rain all day and I'd dump all the crafty shit they had with some glue & told them to get wild. Hard pass for me.

I foresee a few more years of these shenanigans. Then eventually she'll confess to having had a severe addiction issue, seek help, make a country comeback where she's "getting back in touch with her roots", then settle down and give Billy Ray some achey breaky grandbabies.

at least miley makes her art herself.

To her credit, you could tell me this all was Jeff Koons and I'd believe you.

Hey, what kind of art were you making when you were nine?

I remember when I got a glue gun, too!

Her art speaks to me. It says, "I'm an over indulged celeb surrounded by yes men."

Oh honey. No.

She is living out the dream of every burnout I went to high school with.
