M&M Art, Hype, and Poo

Guaranteed hype over this guys art, for the following reasons:

1. Donny Johnson, the artist, is a convicted killer in solitary confinement

2. He doesn't have access to any art supplies so he's used his own hair as a brush, coffee and kool aid for a thinner, and melted M&Ms for paint.

3. He's already in a swanky gallery in Mexico, on CNN, and in New York Times, having sold some of these postcard-sized paintings totalling several thousand dollars.

Is it good art? Its hard to tell, but why does that even matter anymore? You could poo on a canvas and end up in MoMa if you had hype like this guy (or the guy who actually did use poo on a canvas and get huge)
