the entirety of human output, ‘art’ especially, is nothing new.

as for it being WAY too derivative ya that seems to be what people tolerate these days.. short term memories and all.

People like familiar things. Popular usually equates with familiar. US politics (in general) hasn’t changed much from the late 50′s-early 60′s, why should the preference in art? I’m not being nasty here, just observing. I know the ‘coasts’ are different, but not too different.

The pic above looks nice, but also way too derivative. Equal parts Charles Burns and Roy L, but nothing new.
