Iām trying to see this as clever, but it really just looks like āmy four-year-old could do that.ā
I wish I knew Adobe Illustrator that well when I was 4.

Reminds me of the āhipster trapā installation of a while ago.
If an artist canāt feed, an artist canāt breed

It would be cute if it was ironic but to me it seemed more mean-spirited. But what do I know?
These look to me to be very clearly poking fun at the sort of people who think ābumsā should be exterminated like vermin.

Poeās law, I guess.
It never occurred to me that this wasnāt either ironic or self-deprecating. It seems like the type of person with a knee-jerk reaction to āmodern [sic] artā wouldnāt express it in this sort of way.
Modern Art = I can do that + Yeah, but you didnāt
reserve terms like ātalented,ā ābrilliant,ā and āgeniusā for scientists.
honky, please
of course you know an artist is behind this.
You donāt think of Shelley Winters first?
Is it Pick On Chgoliz day? 
Why would you think weād be picking on you? You donāt think of Shelley Winters first?
