An artist named Taylor McKimens, under the influence of abject comic strips, has made a swamp creature and put on view at Deitch Projects.  It is a funny Thing that comes out of the long line of underground comic-book aesthetes made famous by R. Crumb, made high art by Philip Guston.  The imagery is rural by choice, but in an almost ironically condescending manner.  The style seems born out of good fun, but the subject matter seems to be fun at some peoples cost.  It’s worth it though.
