Like Victor Frankenstein, I love to create art out of discarded materials, finding the beauty in the things most people shy away from.

Through this competition, I realized that art that is judged by how many votes a person could pay for is not art at all. This sham is purely and simply a popularity contest. The art has absolutely absolutely nothing to do with it. For it to even be called an art competition is absurd. I would like to ask Johnny Depp to lend me the money to buy this competition. I’m surprised that he’s involved with something like this.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the fact that I discovered that the competition was a scam soon after it started . The actual idea of paying for votes for an art competition would make Marcel Duchamp turn over in his grave. It is the most anti-art thing I can imagine and calling it. The Peoples Artist is even funnier if a person who actually has people enjoying their work loses out to someone who is wealthy and has the means to buy 10,000 votes. It is certainly not a viable competition
What would you do with $25,000?I suppose if one was a gambling man, they would spend the $25,000 on 25,000 votes and hope for the best. Everyone involved should be ashamed of the way this competition is running.No wonder all the details were kept so close to the vest. We don’t have any idea how many people we are up against and how much they are spending.if they had a category for people who were relying on their art and it’s worth that may make things a bit more fair. Is Johnny Depp able to buy roles that he would like to
