Apparently, LeRoy Neiman has died.

He, like Salvador Dali, found his greatest success in the form of PR.

Both made interesting illustrations.

Not even going to wade into a argument about "What is Art?" Duchamp said it best:

"When an artist spits, it's art."

As an artist myself, I do what i like to do on a canvas or anywhere. It is highly therapeudic, but approval only matters if the client pays for it.

Real innovators are usually crushed by corporations regardless of industry. Same as it ever was.

I had an idea to print out signs of this in DC 20 years ago.

But I guess I was too stupid to carry it out.

If you like the meme, spread it around. If I'd followed through 20 years ago, the debate might have been different.

Yes, I do believe one person can make a difference.

Dammit.
