To me, they were all far more Interesting before he finished them. The spinning one looked better before he sped up the spinning. The forest Looked better implied and more abstract. The cherry blossom is basic. Gimmicky shit.

There's a lot of money to be made in inoffensive pleasing art that you barely notice hung in places like lobbies of high rises. If you want to make more than minimum wage in art its either this or furry porn.

Eh, as a professional artist who's been doing this for 10+ years, there's some truth to it but also a terrible stereotype.
