In 2016, Perry quoted Jones' comment "Suburban popular culture" on a sketch for a vase proposed for a show at the Serpentine Gallery, misspelling Jones' name as "Johnathan" in the process (it is unclear whether this is deliberate). Jones responded to this in an article entitled "Quote me on this, Grayson: you're not a true artist at all", in which he declares himself "no snob", extensively quotes his earlier critiques of Perry's works, and refers to the quotation as "snarky, obvious, holier-than-thou satire". In this article, he also references a "Be Nice to Grayson period" during which Jones "really, really tried to see the best in him (while dates aren't specified, this is assumedly the 2009-2012 period discussed above). The article concludes with similarly strong language, and a challenge: "Grayson Perry is what happens when art becomes a pseudo intellectual entertainment for a world that is too busy to look and too distracted to feel: an artist for people who can’t be bothered with art. Now put that on a pot."
