Yup, it's an acquired taste and not for everyone, but brilliant on some level.

[argent007]

Not into it, at all.

just read this interview. Again just shows you what they DON'T show you around the careful editing of the TV show. It appears that there was a performance art aspect of the carny piece that we didn't get to see.

Work of Art

JB: I'm going to give you a couple quotes. This one comes from guest judge Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn in the Huffington Post. She said that you "got the challenge intuitively" but she didn't like the "character you played." What do you think she meant by that?

THE SUCKLORD: [At the art opening] I was doing a little performance piece where I was acting like a sideshow huckster. The game is based off Shoot the Freak at Coney Island. You know the scams that go on at Coney Island? I was doing Sucklord huckster. She doesn’t like the character.

The Gay Empire Pink Stormtrooper got a huge front page write up on Wired.com and was wholeheartedly embraced with positive feedback. This was several years ago so he certainly has made his grounds as a parody artist and yes, he's been embraced by the gay community, more so with his personal connections to it.
Ample enough time for these "parties" to raise their arms, or lawyers arms, to halt. Bottom line, it's art.

[SeattleEd]

Here is an NSFW outtake interview with him and his mom. Pretty insightful. LOL

More info on this weekend's show for those interested.

JB: That痴 great. OK well DesignerCon is coming.

THE SUCKLORD: I have my own booth, and I知 going to be doing The Suckathon, which will be run like a late-night talkshow. I知 going to be set up with a desk, and I値l hold force and opine about everything that I feel inclined to opine on. I値l have guests sit down and talk with me about anything relevant and irrelevant.

JB: What will you be releasing?

THE SUCKLORD: The main exclusive is going to be the next piece in the Scrubs of the Universe line [Ed note: photo above by SpankyStokes is a teaser...]. And I知 going to have an exclusive Dumny and some one-offs of the Spacemen 4-packs. I値l probably drop them at different times during the day, and see if I can get people who are stupid enough to keep coming back for these things.

I think he's solidly protected by parody laws.

[samurainoir]

So... how is this guy NOT getting taken down by Lucas arts and hasbro for trademark infringement?

I'm sure there is a degree of pure dumb luck on his part, but given the fact that the stormtrooper and crimson guard have been embraced by the gay community, you'd expect the backlash of stomping on the Sucklord would just be a bigger publicity coupe for him, and a negative one for Hasbro and Lucas.

Plus being part of the New York art scene probably does afford a great deal of support in the realm of freedom of expressions when your work is auctioned and sold in gallery settings by rich patrons.

[samurainoir]

I just finished watching this week's episode... hokey smokes.

He's really lucky that he ruined that hippy chick's work of art and she went all zen about it. She didn't even rat him out at the crit. I'm sure if he had accidentally ruined the girl with the anxiety disorder's piece, we'd be watching an entirely different kind of episode.

Looks like the Pop art challenge was tailor made for him. Next week's challenge involving the kids looks like it has potential for hijinks.

[megoscott]

Ron English had a cameo in that last episode.

[SeattleEd]

Very much the political/social commentator:

in terms of freedom of expression and political/social commentary where the one of a kind pieces are concerned.

[SeattleEd]

Yes it did and they did drop at both SDCC. Some have showed up in Ebay.

[samurainoir]

Did the Vectar Glyos System figure ever come out?


It was supposed to drop at this year's SDCC, but I didn't see anything about it.



Also, looks like he is taking advantage of this week's pop art episode exposure to market his own um... poop art. For $25 bucks a.. um... poop?! If you buy this, there is now no doubt that you are an *******.

shop suckadelic!

[samurainoir]

He has a very strong case for Mad Magazine style Parody and I think there is a certain degree of leeway that the gallery world of fine art has been given in terms of freedom of expression and political/social commentary.

Andy Warhol being the most high profile with his Superman, Soup Cans, Mickey Mouse etc.

But more contemporary guys like Ron English (who appeared in the latest episode) as well.

[SeattleEd]

So... how is this guy NOT getting taken down by Lucas arts and hasbro for trademark infringement?

What's that? LOL.

Seriously, I see it as art, crappy underground contemporary pop art. Not sure how that falls under infringement but I'm sure that monster will soon rear it's ugly little head with Sucklord being in the limelight.
