Yes, technically it doesn't measure up at all. AT ALL. Most people can "draw" better than that. But art isn't just about how difficult it was to make it, or what techniques were used. It's more than that.
I naturally agree that the fact it was sold for 37 mil is fucking DUMB, but it's up to the buyer. *Shrug*

Now I am wondering if what I had to say was even on topic or not..

Of course it is. We all know the "what" and what we indoividually think about it. This topic was made more for a talk about the "why".
