Suckedelic Toys

[megoscott]

It's hard core art school flashback for sure. Art makes for an awkward fit in the reality competition genre, harder than food or fashion.

He choked on the challenge, though, I was surprised. Like he said, not enough sarcasm or message. Anyway, he'll make for some interesting viewing, and he'll just sell more toys.

I just finished watching the first episode of Work of Art, and oh boy was it art school all over again for me. With all the pretentiousness and pettiness that always accompanies judged competition of this nature. Not to mention the added layer of edited manipulation of the television medium.

It's pretty obviously Sucklord is a ratings ringer (pun intended for those who saw the episode) brought in to challenge the art world he is both already opposed to and embraced by. Out of all of them, he's made his mark on the New York art scene (and around the country and abroad), gets gallery shows and already makes a living selling his art. He even got the cover of the Village Voice

Even though the critics savage him, the studio mentor already admits to knowing The Sucklord and even having auctioned some of his art. The beating to his ego aside, Sucklord's exactly where he needs to be on this show and this exposure (albeit seemingly negative) can only make him more successful in the long run given that as with much the art world, it's as much about the cult of personality. As he says... he's a Villain and he Sucks. Pretty much consistently on message with his already existing marketing as CEO of Suckadelic Enterprises (as his subtitle says... contrasted with others who are "High School Art Teacher" or "Art Assistant")


The big question for me is, why isn't he suiting up in his Sucklord Gear? The teaser shows him getting more surly and confrontational in later episodes.

I never heard of these before until now so I went to the website, looked over all the inventory and just don't get the point of these toys...

Sorry man, I went to art school, even I have standards.
