Com-Raid revolutionary streetwear and design

Melbourne artist Meggs has been featured in the latest issue of VNA magazine. With contemporary pop and street art awash in flaky comic and cartoon motifs Meggs stands out as an artist of substance.

Pop art has always been commercial, but today sometimes it just feels like a cynical cash grab, as though all it takes to become an uber-trendy rockstar artist or designer is to monotonously regurgitate fuzzy childhood nostalgia for the masses. Who needs to challenge the perceptions of their audience or the boundaries of one's own expressive ability? Just keep doodling the same cloyingly inane pop-culture signifiers over and over and watch the coin come in.
