I'm kind of surprised it was Guess instead of Urban Outfitters. UO is always always lifting other people's work

Umm, isn't Banksy's entire career centered around helping himself to others property without asking permission?
I'm honestly confused if he is using this display to advance his subversive messaging or if he is upset that he is the one being subverted.
He's just noting that Guess has entered the ring.
As far as I know, he doesn't make money from that. He gets publicity from street art, but it's not like someone is paying for it —at least, they aren't paying for it to be created, but many will pay more for it after.
Banksy
Guess
All I see are two companies.
sip
Banksy is overrated sentimental trash and I will die on this hill. Also yeah it's a money making cooperative, not a single artist
Also aren't a few of his(their) pieces literally made of collages of other people's art?
Is banksy making money from those images? Afaik no one's ever claimed the graffiti to sell it.
That’s fair use. Using small parts of something to create something new. It’s transformative in nature.
How did this play out?
Take a guess
LoL, I see what you did there.
Best. Reply. Ever.
No joke…very witty.
You have a low bar.
I’m a dad. So yea, low bar.
Why did the mostly blind man fall down the well?

He couldn't see that well.
See. This was funny to me.
I'm pretty sure it's still playing out. Two years later, Guess will have dropped their guard. If I gave a shit about their crap clothing, I'd give it a whirl. And leave a postcard of the Banksy painting. lol.
hand them out at the nearest encampment if the clothes don't appeal to you
Brilliant! Tho' I must share, I don't know anything about their clothes, quality, style, price, nothing. I can't even seem to get their website to load so I can search out a store location. I'm pretty sure if I turned off those silly script blockers it might load, but can't seem to raise the interest needed to find out.
