What is Advertism?


In the spirit of artistic mavericks such as PicassoBanksyWarholMatisseBeltracchiLichtenstein, Jack Whyte and other well-known renegades - the self-taught school of Advertism proclaims that product placement has long been a means by which creativity may support itself. Essentially the same as any commercial artistry - except honest about its goals - the difference is that opposed to seeking elaborate sponsorship - advertainment memes are humorously presented as overt advertisements for self-made applied arts projects such as Hero Chain - just one of Dylon Whytes’s unique produced-on-demand couturier product lines and Scrapbook: a story of art - his father’s full-colour memoir.

“If you find that this type of art upsets you this is due to its blatant honesty - and - well - if you’re upset by honesty - then fuck you - your lies - your hypocrisy and your motherfucking censorship.” ~ Dylon

Hola! What's your favourite running gag from Scrapbook: a story of art?


Mine is definitely "the bull" and guerrilla art. 

Today's Chainman Banner brought to you by Scrapbook: a story of art and Pablo Picasso - the man who broke all the rules and paved the way for modern art.

Yesterday was the first day in nearly two months that I missed posting a fresh banner - fortunately the absence was for a good cause as work continues on the final production edition of Scrapbook. We're also in the midst of major updates across the board for the free-to-read version of Scrapbook and Whytes Online.

You won't believe what's coming next!
