Kaws, Former Graffiti (Tag) Artist

What kind of brush do you think he uses?

the KAWS brush haha nah idk
the world may never know :(

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.

"Hasn't painted graffiti in over a decade..." He seriously sucks.

okay,this dude got famous from copying stuff,and adding different faces?i could shit ideas all day if i didn't have to work my ass off and go to school at the same time.Vandalizing other peoples property isn't fucking cool,and just cause he got a bit over hyped and famous doesn't mean he shouldn't have to pay the price for fucking shit that wasn't his.I graff,draw anime/manga,draw real people and architecture,but i don't need to go against the law to get my art out.That dude is lucky.Period.

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

manga and graff are amazin together.

Obviously your shit

I think Kaws deserve what he does right now cause he definately have paid his dues. Honestly, i think a sellout is a person that gave someone else's information to the authority(ie cops) so that his/her ass can be saved, thus, putting other person in jeopardy.
