a couple of dealers are involved
they have supported him for a long time
now he is getting known, the family is trying to cut them out
he has a bigshow in ny, when the times ran a feature about him, all the art he had for sale on the web sold out immediately

>> I have some serious doubts, well I don't really see any artistic coherency around here.

I mean I have the feeling to see some kind of 8 y.o kid art, the representations are fairly simples "superheroes", some kind of easy shot on the "capitalism" and well... you may think "hey he's killing him because the *artist* got a simple representations and stuff...
Not really check out that painting : guernica by Picasso (the painting about the bombing a city in Spain...*first time* that civilians were attacked intentionally (and by some extend it was the "test field" for the stucka planes).

Anyhow, ok the comparison isn't at the advantage of your druggie but it clearly shows that he needs to mature a lill' bit.

he will not mature
he has severe mental problems
it is all a function of some "art critics" saying his work is top-notch
i agree, it is childish
i have known ten yr olds who could match his "art"
but because people are willing to pay for it, it has value
