you are an idiot. manga is the f*cking gayest artform in the whole entire world. he's famous because of his originality. if you would actually use your brain you could tell that he is a very talented painter. idiot

What i really don't like is notsomuch the thought that Kaws may or may not have sold out but that these people that go to his shows and swoon over his art are pretty clueless and inarticulate when it comes to describing why it's important tothem.Thedealers talk about it like they have some idea what the generation this art is geared toward thinks.This is not so much selling out as being taken advantage of similar to the way Basquiat was.Hopefully we won't have to repeat that art history lesson.

Just because someone can make a living at what they enjoy doing doesn't make them a sellout. A sellout is one who betrays their own principles, what they enjoy and love for reasons of expedience whether it's for money, fame, pussy or whatever. It appears that he's still doing what he enjoys and hasn't compromised anything. Don't blame the artist because lots of people happen to appreciate his work.
