Let’s face it cartoonists like Chris Ware are way better artists than any famous people lingering around Gavin Brown. Tattoos are permanent drawings so if you’re getting one you should use the best drawers around. If that isn’t a huge doye I don’t know what is.

While it's true that fine art is totally down the toilet at this point and comics have become the new fine art Chris Ware isn't where it's at. His drawings are clean but once you've read one comic about a fat loser who's socially inept told in a non linear you've seen all Ware has to offer.
If he makes a comic about a totally cool guy who we sympathize with who beats up Jimmy Corrigan then I'll relent taht Chris Ware isn't a one trick nerd pony.

Praising Chris Ware is like praising Andy Warhol, it's something everyone's already agreed on to the point where it's gotten boring. Ware's NYTimes Magazine comic "Building Stories" was awful. You aren't turning anyone on to anything new by bringing him up, and you aren't special if you've heard of him (that's like bragging about listening to TV on the Radio 'before they were big'). Getting a Chris Ware tattoo is eternally lame, it's like saying "Look at my great taste! And you don't even get the reference!"
The internet has blown everything up to the point where there are no 'cult' audiences anymore and no one finds out about things naturally, everyone just goes to one or two blogs and gets their 'cultural cheat sheets' on what's hip. It makes it so anything that gets a little attention immediately gets shifted into this 'hype mode' that really taints it, it isn't allowed to just be itself because everyone's projecting their own bullshit opinion on it and not letting the piece of music/art/whatever breathe.
And Vice Magazine is really part of it, they have a 'cool hunting' business consulting business called Addvice, where companies like Diesel can hire them to find out what the kids today are into. They are "packaging cool and selling it to the mainstream."
diesel would try to advertise on this site.
TOO BAD WE ALL HATE DIESEL. THAT FUCKING CUNT WOMAN ONLY MAKES ME WANT TO SHOOT UP A DIESEL STORE.

Too bad the moles weren't reversed; it would look sort of like a leaf falling. Or a tasty apple.

Being fat is never a do. Having tattoos is never a do. I guess they form a double-negative, and therefore a positive.

Chris Ware sucks and so does having to peep the top of this dude's bush. Putting a pearl in your navel is pretty clever though.

Tattooees are like the new AIDSers or something. Hey I'm sure they're fine folks and all, and can still live relatively normal lives but somewhere along the line they fucked up.

If Chris Ware is so good why didn't you put any of his shit in the comics issue? It would've been the only worthwhile thing in that collection of your friends' sex doodles you tossed off and called an issue.
