Tom Burns is probably my only other t-shirt hero out there right now, as you’ll know from the praise I’ve lavished on Glennz before, I am a complete and utter sucker for well conceived, beautifully drawn, corny one-liners. I know I’m probably in the minority, it isn’t what you’d call beautiful art, it just does the job. Perfectly.
Take a look at the history of graphic arts, advertising, poster design, Modern Art in general and you’ll see the same approach. It’s the backbone of any conceptualist artist’s oeuvre – you gotta’ have a sense of humour! Without that essential ingredient you’re left cold, or even confused. I’m not apolitical, if anything I’d probably be classed as a ‘lefty’ by most Americans, but essentially there’s more to it than that. I live in Britain, and it isn’t all that great, but we’ve learned to live with it because however dire the situation, we can still find humour in most situations, however tragic. Or rather we used to before the worldwide media and the rise of political correctness got in the way. My point is this, Tom Burns understands the world of the cynic, the lampoonist, the subjective rewards of critically appraising the tiniest details in life to undermine the greatest. It’s a revolution my friends and Tom’s not just burning down the roof, he’s on fire! read more
