If we are going to have a 'moron of the month' competition then I'll enter Mr Russell Kenny who I had the misfortune of following earlier this year. His style was very distinctive...
I first saw Kenny's art work in may 2022 , actually there is some post in the forum from him . I admit that i destroyed some of his non-organic legacy
. About the welsh i rate it on 3rd place just after MJ .....
Most of the people who live around me would know that! Or more likely would think of it more literally as "Long live Wales!" or "Wales forever!". Another traditional inscription above pub urinals in Wales is "Please give generously - England needs the water"
I saw them all the way from Roncevalles to Santiago, on the distance markerś sign posts and even on the side of farm buildings. Wish i had saw them as s few choice wirds would have been said

I'm with SabsP that rap music, break dance and skateboarding are not ridiculous. The first two are genuine art forms and the latter is a sport (and means of transport). It is no more ridiculous than bicycling.
Graffiti's been around a whole lot longer than that. Archeologists have found it in Pompeii.
Yeah. Funny, isn't it, how reality and perception clash? Someone's entranced by their ego.
Well - we will just have to agree to disagree. Yes, graffiti have existed for many years - many other silly ideas have. I mentioned 70's & 80's because that was where those "activities" suddenly became a trend.
Some rap is a genuine art form. Far too much of it is "don't need to make sense or have rhythm as long as there are lots of words that rhyme."

I used to think that most of the jazz I heard was a bunch of musicians taking the stage and playing without listening to each other. I still sometimes think that. But my lack of appreciation didn't make jazz any less of an art form. And just because some people make "better art" than others doesn't make it any less art.
This is so true. To me, Jackson Pollack painted as if he was blindfolded, splashing paint on canvases. All kinds of art is "in the eye of the beholder". I don't condone graffiti and narcissistic boldness of those who do it, but some is actually quite easy on the eyes.
Luckily, I was in the other direction most of the time that year, but I *did* encounter his scribblings near the end of my Francès.
What if I told you that Pollock used several different techniques to achieve or/and avoid certain effects in his paintings, especially concerning how fluids move.
