Andy writes in 1960-63, that they all were doing the same stuff, they didn't mind, it made it more visible in the public eye. Actually, Andy was told, in the beginning, to be more like Lichtenstein. At the time Andy was painting two different ways. One was more Abstract Expressionism à la Jasper Johns and Bob Rauschenburg. The other was more of the POP style. Andy had met Emile de Antionio and had invited him over to show him his work. He had 2 paintings that were of a Coke bottle showing his two styles.(mentioned above) De told him to destroy the AE styled one and that the POPish one was 'remarkable'
Maybe Rene should stop doing prints to show that he was the first, and start doing more original prints. I like some of Renes' pieces, I even own one. But please stop trying to hammer this into the ground. It's turning peeps off!
Explore more bubble ideas Rene, get more work out on the street. Use your talent to make people notice your art, not to proove that you did it first. Who cares, I'm sure Banksy and MBW don't. They are getting paid!

the Mr. Brainwash bubble is far from bursting! Get on the gravy train while it lasts! Choo-Chooo!

woah! what is that avatar you have? did you make stickers of that?

edit: just did a quick search on your forum name to track down some info on that image (are you the artist?) and up comes some interesting stuff! someone doesn't like you huh? what's the beef all about?

you have a lot of personal questions for the guy for a newb.. are their any latent reasons for this, or is it purely curiosity..

Last time I checked, taking illegally posted advertisements off of the streets was not a crime. But that's only since the last time I checked, I could be wrong.

No, not illegal, but it is hugely disrespectful. Artists put their work up in public places for all to enjoy, not so that 2 punks can tear it down and stick it up on the wall in their loft. Or worse yet, put it up for auction the Bay to make a buck from it like that gallery-owner did with the Banksy piece not long ago. Pure sleaze if you ask me, I'm happy they got caught red-handed, talk about a PR nightmare!

MBW does not seem to have a problem stealing other people's work. He encourages people to make money with his art by posting it on ebay. I doubt that he is upset.
