I think what makes him dope is he believes in his own work so much that it excites him. He's more of a marketing guru than an artist.....when you have that much paper it's easy to say....Ok, now I'm gonna do this.....there's all this freedom to come up with these wierd ideas....his ideas can't be beat down...he's gone to the moon.

It's quite obviously an art piece to be framed and hung in a gallery or home. There have been plenty of artists in the past whose pieces might be considered questionable but yet time has proved them to be representative of their genre: Mondrian's Composition series, Pollock's trademark splatter paintings, or any of Rothko's or Newman's artwork. To summarize, don't be so quick to judge and too dense to look deeper into it. After all, Emilio Pucci's Abstract Expressionism inspired apparel and footwear aren't so far away from Hirst yet he's the head of a high fashion house.
