Can someone explain to me who the fuck this "artist" is and why he's so popular (and rich)?
All of his work looks like it's barely above beginner level.
He got recommended to me by twitter and he has like 60k followers.
Also, pic related. What the fuck.
I'm so confused.

some of these made me chuckle. it's art sure but I wouldn't pay for these. I guess some people reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllyyyy have disposable income.
oh I figured it out. because it's social commentary

I've got some porcelain salt & pepper pots made by DS. They say heroin & cocaine on them.
This guy has been around for decades.

That pretty much summed up my reaction earlier.
I would guess that the kind of people to get these tattoos are deeply rooted in the tumblr community; getting a 2deep4u, badly drawn tattoo seems to be fashionable enough as long as it is, I guess, bad enough to be considered 'good'/cute in some way.
