FIRST APOLOGY FOR SOUNDING LIKE A STUCKIST

Well, probably not the very first at all, but the first we've seen. The prize goes to 'Novadaddy' on pub8.ezboard. This is what he says:

Sorry to sound like a Stuckist but, what did you think about that guy who nearly won the Turner Prize with the painting of the spaceship that he'd "appropriated" from an old sci-fi novel cover?

Personally, I get a little peeved at "high artists" who steal from the "low arts" (comics, fantasy art) with the suggestion that they have imbued it with an extra context, the nature of which is often rather flimsy.
