famous artists
that should satisfy anyone's needs of proof of the validity of said enterprise: now, onto the top-prize winners of what appears for the most part to be a surface design competition, although i'm not sure about the first-prize winner's entry in that sense. it seems three dimensional, and it makes me want mackarel sushi.
there was a specific category for children's textiles, or, i suppose, designs that would be used to decorate children's rooms, or to just decorate children; they were so abysmal, so hideous, and it was on these entries that famous artists magazine chose to squander what was obviously a very finite budget for the use of colored ink. it was just too depressing to reproduce here.

i love the text in this ad.
