They really heavily on the artist's skill with drawing, and his craft is very strong, but the level of invention is near zero. I feel like I understand what this artist is trying to do, and I am aware of my relationship to it the entire time I am viewing the work, and there is no self-reflection or discovery involved.

Mike Kelly and friends wish they were this funny. Somehow this guy steps up to the comedic plate of conceptual art and actually delivers content which is relevant and direct. On further investigation his website is clear evidence that he's onto something fresh and unexplored within the uptight artworld ranks. Hopefully, this is the type of work that will have staying power in years to come. It's a time capsule of pop culture and perversion on an extremely heroic scale. Hilarious and poetic throughout the entire rollercoaster of laughter and self-reflection. Let’s face it……. Mike Kelly and friends wish they were this funny.
