Can you give examples of artists who became 'too creative to ignore'?

Three strong examples: First, Andrew Scott, who creates viral frame experiments by drawing kids in frames and then breaking the glass or cutting the frame to enhance the piece - like a kid shooting a slingshot with broken glass at the trajectory point, or a kid painted hanging from the bottom of the frame. He has over 1.4 million followers and has been featured on Good Morning America and Yahoo News. Second, Dave Pollard, who finds unwanted thrift store paintings and adds pop culture parodies on top - like painting AT-AT walkers in landscapes or graffiti on old clipper ship sails. Third, Alejandro Cartagena, a Mexican photographer who photographed workers carpooling in pickup truck beds from a freeway overpass, creating a visually stunning documentary series. All three artists built massive businesses by being exceptionally creative.
