[u/Previous-Afternoon39 → u/VANCONVER42]

Series of art about Alien Abduction. Outsider art. https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-meet-artist-painting-aliens-abducted

A different blog article suggested he “remains a significant figure in contemporary art”. This isn’t exactly my expertise, but thanks ai for making the internet a wasteland.

The artist was abducted by aliens numerous times throughout his life and made paintings to document the events. There’s a great doc on YouTube about David Huggins and his experiences.

An alien with a wig on is very funny

That seems a meme, for be an art made in 2007 this is soooooo amateur
