a huge part of his body of work was about the gay community and about the AIDS crisis! it is overshadowed by the more commercial work intentionally because his more political works are not easily consumable and packaged and sold
I guess he shouldn't have opened Pop Shop? Not sure where the intersection of art being accessible to common people and art not-being-commercialized is.
hell yes he rocked so much I didn't get a full collection but got to see some pieces at lacma and it's all so much more than how people think of 90s graphics and tracey ullman
It's interesting because this is around the time when furry as a fandom was just starting. I think Keith would've loved us and our weird fun queer little fandom.

But, guess that certainly fits his theme here about getting fucked over by money and norms.
