It reminds me off the cover art for Green Day's Dookie album back in the mid 90s. Similar compositional elements.
On the topic of Art--many people think that just because something looks like it was scrawled by a 3 year old or splattered by a drunk chimp that it somehow cannot be taken seriously. Those were some of the criticism hurled at artists like Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. However, those critics fail to see that, after Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, perceptions of the human experience has "liberated" itself from the shackles of representation. The real "nature" of Nature is not just what you see but also perspectives filtered through time/location (cubism), psychology (surrealism), process (Abstract Expressionism), mass manufactured/ready made culture (Pop Art), etc
And we're better for it. Modern Art merely reflects the evolution of societies' ability to perceive reality from mere 2D and 3D constraints and "realism" to different perspectives. Also, it's a function of the huge amount of money and politics involved in the business of collecting and the discipline of art criticism.
