@CROOKISME Putting stencils up as big as these is team effort, you need at least two or three guys to help position one stencil then hold in place and spray over. so idk, it requires as much effort as scharf's also theres no white space in sheps he filled the whole space

[CROOKISME]

@Qualitytap its just stencil work it is very possible its not like he's actually painting everything himself id even go as far to saying that kenny scharf's work is WAY harder

[Qualitytap]

@CROOKISME Sheps work is way to time consuming to be produced by one person. Also most of his work is to difficult to create in such a huge manner by one person, almost impossible, thats why he needs a team of about 10-15 most to complete it.

@CROOKISME they were helping to put down the literal brush strokes yea, but he designed the whole thing. The nature of his style makes it so he can have the help putting it up. It's no different than if it were some kind of giant poster that he needed help pasting to the wall.

@zZbentt cuz its not "his" work anymore not completely I don't get how its ok if one of the great painters got help w/ their work then were they really as great or was it someone else's brush stroke that made the piece stand out

Shepard Fairey has a Posse!

[zZbentt]
