I recently watched the documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop, which chronicles the rise of street artist Mr. Brainwash. And, yes, it's as offbeat as it sounds but adds to the discussion of popular art, unspoken "rules" of creating art and the commercialization of art. And since it deals with derivative artwork, it made me want to post one of Lex's latest creations. She snagged the concept from her brother who had written and illustrated a very brief tale about a ghost who liked to play dead. Although it stylistically resembles Noah's original drawing, she has revised and embellished in true Lex fashion. In particular, I adore the one-legged princess ghost wearing the LSU hat. I used to think that age six was just awesome. It turns out that seven is pretty awesome too:
