For me, it isn't the taste, that's always personal, so it's a shrug and whatever.
It's how many of them are badly done. Dude makes bank. He can afford good work. My twenty-odd years old generic flash piece looks better than most of those in terms of craftsmanship. And that's with some fading and blurring.
If that's the vibe he's going for, that's fine, I ain't mad at that when it's intentional. But there's some of those I'm actually confident I could have done and done just as well, and I suck. I've had people ask me to do weird shit they were not willing to go to someone that's skilled, and it's their skin, so I did it. But it was all janky as fuck. And there's some of these that are at that level of execution.
