There are plenty of great artists who were really shitty people. Can we enjoy their work whilst hating their opinions? Some will avoid expressing those opinions to not lose fans. Scott Adams is also a Trump fan, but a lot of Dilbert readers won't know that unless they look at his blog. I bet there are Disney people who like him too. Personally I think Trump is dangerous and dumb.
BTW I'd not seen the Faust stuff before. I guess there's a market for it.
I can enjoy peoples work and ignore their opinions...it's pretty easy actually. Much like I don't care what a plumber thinks about how I should seal my asphalt driveway, or what a cardiologist thinks about my leaking roof...what do I gaf what some actor/writer/musician/artist/model thinks about politics? I don't care at all. I'd be an idiot to let it matter to me.
Faust has a market because Vigil is skilled beyond most mere mortals at illustration. I guess/hope that the horrific content is only a small part of the appeal...I choose to hope that.
He can certainly draw.
BTW I've heard Hitler was a mediocre artist.
Have a !BEER
He wasn't great, but he hadn't invested much time developing that skill set. The paintings he did that I've seen were pretty good, they were all landscapes and such. He should have stuck to painting. If any of you get a time machine, go back and really encourage him about his art...or y'know...stab him in the neck...either one.
