    Are you comparing mass-produced plastic machine made pieces to art? I will absolutely agree that you can make art with them, but at the end of the day we’re talking about plastic trash injected into a mold. If you want to get me to somehow defend a company that sell s plastic waste for a massive premium, it just isn’t going to happen.

      At the end of the day, we’re just talking about some pigments and solvents smeared across some cloth.

      I agree some of it can be art, but it’s still just trash. And don’t even get me started on the lumps of mud!

      Actually, if we want to get pedantic, I would suggest the kits are more in line with prints rather than original paintings, but just because you see it as trash, doesn’t mean it is.

        Certainly my opinion doesn’t change the value of it. you can spend all the money you want on plastic garbage. Or by Taylor Swift records. Or buy a Tesla cyber truck.

        Opinions are subjective, but you are factually purchasing pennies worth of plastic for hundreds of dollars because of some kind of nostalgic brainwashing or just general silliness.
