Fascinating observation in your last post. I remember reading somewhere (perhaps your blog) that art used for advertising can't really be called art at all.

I firmly believe that statements like that are used to try to shame people away from making money with creative skill.
My stance has always been that advertising is art with a clear objective outcome, rather than just ‘express something, and get people to think’.
Banksy is pretty outspoken about how advertising is ruining everything, especially artists. I could make a pretty compelling argument that Banksy is the artist closest to advertiser, in terms of messaging, copy, and clarity and direction of his calls to action, but I generally just think he’s complaining about bad, obnoxious ads, of which there are too many.
