Stale Street Artist Covers Madonna’s Stale Compilation
Billed as the “ultimate compilation of Madonna songs,” the Material Girl issued a press release this week announcing her latest greatest hits album. And befitting a volume full of warmed-up decades old tracks, Mr. Brainwash pumped out the uninspired and derivative album cover, his latest reworking of Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe portrait.

what a tool.but how is he supposed to have an original ideal when hes a persian real estate agent?
Good question, duesler. Brainwash, and all of the art-school kids he hired, killed street art. I don't know where to look for inspiration, anymore.
whats wrong with art-school? Viewing this website and others like it, getting inspired by, talking to, or reading about other artists is in fact the essence of a good education in art. Wether self-educated or educated through an institution it is the same.
You are both right however that using such derivative imagery is more indicative of graphic design and shows a lack of personal development.
But there is nothing wrong with knowing a thing or two about art and art history, to recognize the Andy Warhol reference one must be educated in the arts.
