I like his work, and it's annoying.
Watching that documentary about him in class made me wonder why everyone loved his work so much, what is it about his work, that has that street grafitti style, so 'high art'?
It's annoying because I like his work too, I'm just like everybody else and I don't know why.
He got so rich so fast, for art that doesn't even necessarily look miraculous, but for some odd reason, we all like it.
Once I figure it out I'll let you know.
