I understand the manga references but I still see them as demeaning to women. I have a bit of a problem with his pornorific portrayal of women.

I try not to limit myself in appreciating some of an artist's work even if I don't like other aspects. (Many concept artists, for example, leave me cold in their preoccupation with violence, but I still enjoy the artistic expression of the images, even if I dislike the subject.) I understand.

He doesn't touch his canvases, which wouldn't be so bad if the works had anything to say. He sends illustrator files to a studio in Queens, where an army of near-minimum wage starving japanese sweat shop workers spend 15 hours a day painting in the colors by number. He makes walt disney look like a saint, and andy warhol painterly. total capitalization on the 'japan chic' concept, and the west eats up whatever he regurgitates.
