Well, I guess it is pretty impressive in its own right. Over 440
logo-pictograms and Bouabré apparently has written some books in it.
I'm not one to encourage creating new alphabets, but if something
persists in use for 50 years, even on a small scale, it merits respect.

Are there any other writing systems created by recognized artists?

Just put up a Wikipedia stub at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9t%C3%A9_alphabet

Also noted this, which has a sample:
