How come when Andy Warhol produces a picture of a can of Campbell's Tomato Soup it's instantly declared a pop cultural masterpiece and a deliciously subversive satire on American capitalism and yet, I produce an equally striking and equally subversive can of Tesco's Baked Beans, and everyone thinks it's a pile of old arse? 
And how come when Andy Warhol paints a picture of Marilyn Monroe everyone says it's iconic and beautiful and a commentary on celebrity culture and yet, I paint an equally iconic and, arguably, even more beautiful picture of the great Willie Thorne and everyone thinks it's a pile of old arse? 
Once again it's one rule for Warhol and one rule for everyone else.
