The term "Artist" is used and tossed around with far too much generosity in this industry; 90% of the individuals that are coined as "Artist" in this industry are more or less graphic designers at best; professional con-artist and brown nosing social climbers who whore themselves for the sake of being famous and adored. That is my answer.

I've been racking my brain to pick my favorite artist of the year.  The usual suspects have popped into my head (Kaws, Kehinde Wiley, Tom Sachs, etc.)  To be honest, I've been to very few 'real' art galleries this year, and I didn't discover a new favorite artist in 07'.   That is until I heard Lord Nasty.  I don't know much about Lord Nasty, but his album 'Baptized in Pussy Juice' is most definitely a work of art. Lord Nasty mixes the nastiness of 2 Live Crew with the voice of southern Baptist church choir singer.  His albums are low budget, recorded on tape via a karaoke machine.  Comparisons have been made to Blowfly and Dolemite, but the Lord's subject matter is on whole another level.  Its hard to describe, but his music sounds dangerous and offensive, mixing a music style and subject matter that shouldn't be combined, AND in a non-ironic way (take that hipsters!).  His lyrics are insanely dirty' check the songs 'Religious Slut',  'That Slut from Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints', and 'Nasty on a Spiritual Hymn' for lyrics that are guaranteed to make you cringe.  My girlfriend hates Lord Nasty, not allowing me to play his music when she's around. If you're not offended by Lord Nasty, there's something wrong with you.

The photographer E. Hansen. He is a friend of mine and we've been in touch for a while. He just sent me his new book and the photographs are almost surreal in their precise-ness. I'm having a show at the Beinghunted.gallery online shortly.
