Yes.
However what's wrong with Obama?

>>2284

Yeah, I like his work. His new stuff doesn't really grab me at all though, although it's very technically competent, it just strikes me as the kind of thing that's made for readers of The Independent. It's a bit soulless.

His stuff is all a bit samey

>>2285

I'm generally not impressed with his policies, although I realise he has to work with the conditions he is faced with and so on. That being said I've pretty much had it with all political parties and ideologies and am finding myself being more and more swayed by anarchyfag.

But this is about art, not politics.

>>2286

I sort of agree, although I fear a lot of it has to do with him being more famous and all the stuff that goes along with that. Sort of the same thing that happened to Banksy some might say.

>>2284

I was a fan, I own a bit.

But now days I think he is an utter cunt. The shit about suing some lad who used the Obey image with a mask covering its mouth while he took the image from a magazine. He also took the Obama image from someone else, denied it, burned evidence then admitted it.

Grow a pair

Oh what a cock.

Honestly, I don't mind people trying to have their copyright respected if they're willing to respect the copyright of others, but when people have made a career borrowing liberally from others it's a real fucking insult to get litigious, especially against some kid who doesn't know any better.

OP here. I like him less as a person now, but I'll still enjoy some of his work. I'm tempted to do my own version of OBEY now and mail it to him.

Just sellotape a judges wig to the vanilla printoff

I haven't finished reading it all yet, but here's a fairly extensive list of his plagiarisms, I've really gone off the guy.

To be fair, I don't know why you lot liked him to begin with. The Andre stickers never made a lick of sense.

>>2435

Art is expression, it doesn't have to make sense.

>>2434

Im not arsed with all this though shit loads of artists do it, its alright to me. Its just the suing stuff, and the price of all his clothes and shit.

>>2437

Wow, really? You don't mind someone getting rich of other people's work, as long as you can afford to buy his shit?

>>2438

Way of the world, recycling, regenerating and all that. I cant afford it at all, I own some, like I was the one to post about him suing that lad and all that all the way up there ^^, I don't agree with that but I don't think what he is doing is too bad.

>>2439

By own some I mean I knicked a large bit when pissed, but like yeah it happens. Salvor Dali used the Mona Lisa in his own way and such, people done hate on Dali really
