More Art

Brady suggested that I take a look at Todd Golman's art. Wow.. I like it!

I ran across a web page boycotting his t-shirts and art. I haven't really formed an opinion yet, so I will keep my comments to myself. I find the art humourous, but I can see how it can be "promoting violence". I believe just like movies, video games, toy guns, cartoons, etc., it's the role of the parent to educate their kids. I don't think its necessarily right to limit an artist to what he/she should paint. As a parent, I explain certain situations to my daughter and I also refrain from showing her materials targeted for mature audiences until she is ready to make her own judgement. I don't believe in shielding everything. But I do believe in "small doses". You can't go through life with rose-colored glasses.

It's in the intent. I don't look at this art piece and see violence or male bashing. I see reality .. hahahhaah...just kidding...

  • He has an art show down in 'The Grove' this month sometime, I've bought stuff from the art gallery that represents him before so they invite me to things like this. I can't find the information anywhere though.
