I generally agree that just because someone calls himself an artist, he may not do whatever the hell he wants.

I don't mind these pictures, but I think this whole "It's art, therefore it's right", has been taken a bit too far. I'm specifically referring to the child pornography vs. art thread we had a while back.

This is harmless, IMO. As Butt said, monsters have been portrayed in art since the existence of art himself. How many pop art portraits of Hitler are there, for instance? Mao? Stalin?

If I were Kate however, I'd sue this chap.
