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?

[–] flames5123 30 points 4 days ago

That’s fair use. Using small parts of something to create something new. It’s transformative in nature.

Is banksy making money from those images? Afaik no one's ever claimed the graffiti to sell it.

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

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.

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.

The public has a right to public spaces

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

He's just noting that Guess has entered the ring.

[–] FauxPseudo 10 points 4 days ago

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