Wonderful artist, altho I find his stuff so "telegraphed" at times that it self-sabotages.

Pieces like this are exceptionally cool to me because they dispense with that 'borderline-propaganda' Americana angle to get right to the spirit of the piece, so to speak. This is just great...

Yeah, theres quite a few artists who are famous for the worst art they made yet have a lot of great stuff
