The first artist i looked at was Banksy. I love how he uses humor and satire to somewhat ask the questions of what are we leaving behind for the future? The one image of the two old ladies stiching "Thug forever" and Punks not dead" reminded me of our generation in the future. He also used iconic images in history combined with these characters that look of now. I love how is outside/graffiti art takes shots a society in a nonconvential way. The use of sihouletted children seem to make it less harsh.His overall work seems to deal with the decay of everything beautiful and sacred of the society of old. Using imagery like David with a bullet whole or the car in the pasture with the shepard and sheep.

John Fekner's work is more straight forward. His use of words on the picked backgrounds makes his subject much more obvious yet, using words that can keep your audience interested in the piece is much harder to do. Yet he does it perfectly.

As far as Joy Garnett works go, i find them very interesting, yet confusing at the same time.While her overall aesthetic does remind me of our theme of decay, its just hard to understand her themes.
