Personal attacks, yada yada yada. I believe this was the (beginning of the?) end:

Also, wasn't it pretty well known that he was an alt of trendingart?

^ No doubt. No idea how tag heuer went for it though.

The shoes will beat brainwash price vise though. I think those shoes without his "art" are around $3,000 :lol: Bet you the arty ones will not be less than $5,000 :lol: :lol:

It's all about that street cred.

I read this whole thing and am a bit confused. Sooooo. The dude is a fraud because he is basically a rich kid who is not actually an artist but passes off someone else's work as his own (seems like it was done with permission). That gig is up, but he still maintains the Alec Monopoly persona to some degree of success.

Any of the above incorrect?

Failing to see how this is much different than MBW except the art is 100x shittier and the guy is 100x doucheier.

BB8 cannot compute.

What makes him really so special is his ability to so seamlessly bodyshift between being a regular person and being a mysterious, incognito street artist with the use of just one human hand.
