Buffmonster cashs in...

I went to Gallery 1988 on Melrose to see the opening of the Buffmonster show. I'm still thinking the work is too derivative of other stuff: a lot of Japanese, a splash of phallic symbolism, a bit of vintage recycling and a can of pink paint. But it has caught people's imagination because it's simple, cute but with an underlying grubby message which some people think is smart.

I didn't buy the $40 poster print and get Buff to sign it for my wall. I may have been tempted to stick it on eBay! And that's not what art is about, right?!
