No wonder artists dabble in it, covering the surface with crpytic text, glyphs and slogans. Craig Atkinson uses it as his standard modus operandi in paintings like Fake and Art This Way which critique the structures of the contemporary art market; Anthony-Leonard White uses script as his signature technique in his collages (have a look at Electic Documentation) while the Tate Sisters use grids of text and Michael Clay portrays his favourite writers and lyricists Bob Dylan, William Burroughs and Leonard Cohen. Go configure.
