WELCOMEZ DONKEY!!!
first off... have you seen this documentary? go watch it. and if you still feel the same way about him then go ahead and keep on supporting a no talent HACK! and disregard my post because it was not for you. my post was for a discerning community of collectors who actually give a fudge which artists they support. if you will read my post i said that i recommend people watch the movie and see who the person is that they are calling an artist and make their own decision about whether or not they feel comfortable about buying something from an "artist" who has actually hired other graphic designers to "create" his pieces since day one. now i know that fairey does the same thing but he has already put in his time.BigWhiskey wrote:Why cant people just buy art that they like. I might not like the way he works but i like some of the prints he puts out. LIB, waldo, kids kissing, max spray, 33rd street, le bistro and many other are hacks? Really? Ya some of his stuff looks very similar to other but whose arent. Last time i remember Fairey had a lawsuit against him for copying someones fudge. Does he design all his work....Why do people seek out threads like this to talk fudge about an artist or the people who buy it. Last i checked there were several others that are perfect for your comment. This one not so much. What do i know though i havent been here as long as you. Congrats on your 41st post though.benjamy wrote:ya know i've seen this guys stuff on this website for awhile now and i was always a little unsure what to make of it. there was something about it all that seemed so unoriginal and played out. other artists have their niches and can be very stylized and i always felt that what i was looking at was something that was stealing a little bit from all of those artists.
i just watched "exit through the gift shop". a documentary, not so much about street art but more about the bumblings of this hack that wanted so bad to be a part of something and unfortunately ended up ripping off some real quality artists to become mr brainwash.
he is a fool and anyone who buys his art or has thought of buying anything from him should watch this movie and ask yourself how important artist integrity is.
fairey, banksy, swoon. all are real artists who take original ideas and let their art speak for itself. dont be brainwashed by this fool.
