It's the work that counts.

'Poor production' is a matter of subjective opinion.

You make your art with the materials to hand - if you don't have hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of diamonds lying around waiting to be made into a glittery skull, so what? Use an unmade bed.

Art isn't about technique or materials - it's about artistic thought made whole. Whether it's a crudely carved piece of wood in the shape of an African Deity, a customised lowrider, a potato print, Picasso's 'Guernica' or the words of the Q'ran wrought in gold on the gates of a mosque - it's an expression of artistic thought made whole. Like it or not - it's art. Not 'good art' or 'bad art', there is no such thing, once again that is a subjective opinion. Art is what it is.
