I agree with Nathan – it does seem that you are operating a double standard Joe. You, of course, are welcome to your opinion – but the Turner prize is almost to easy a target. Much of the criticism is coming from people who can only see art in representational terms – and probably informed by old master representational terms at that. Which I think goes against how ‘lenient’ and supportive you are to a lot of ‘small press’ or even mainstream comics art which is simply bad (my opinion this time). Leave the commercial aspect of modern art aside and in the end it’s all people creating art. All of them – no matter how much we don’t get it – or actually just hate it – and it’s OK to hate art – I HATE a lot of comics art – are trying to make art.

Do you want to give it a rest with the Daily Mail/”Contemporary Art is Rubbish” posts – it’s ruining an otherwise excellent blog.
