Ben's right in one way I'd never heard of Devon but would know of him by "the guy who draws people on the subway"

On the other hand, I don't think the art world should take this new wave seriously...doodling for attention isn't art.




> doodling for attention isn’t art

Sure it is. Maybe you don’t like it, but if the work (and the context it’s presented in) is compelling, it’s art.


it's not that I don't like it, it's a skill, and it's cute and if you stretch the definition that far you can include Hallmark christmas cards et al as art if you want, but as a proud elitist, it simply isn't, and you can throw social media poets in too.
