He Got Game

So check out this Nike advert: Seems a little on the totally ripping off Robin Rhode side to me. Ah, big business... I found this on http://www.youthoughtwewouldntnotice.com/, a new site apparently dedicated to exposing nasty people who steal from poor defenceless artists.

ed young is like a skateboarder with his pants down, giving the one eye to his parent's best friends. I heard that he was sponsored by Beneton Colours - suburban rage spits in the mouths of the starving, contemporary oxfam spin, but this has got me thinking. Is he really working for Nike?
Ed Young doesn't need to work for Nike. In the great tradition of useless poseurs, Ed receives a monthly allowance from his bourgeois parents to sustain his anti-bourgeois behaviour.
Shit! I thought his daddy tought at Michaelis.
Stephen Inggs?
Johann van der Schijff?
Andrew Limprecht
Idiots. Did you forget that Robin Rhode got ripped off? Bitching about bourgeoisie and stuff, you missing the point.
Agreed. Could we all just stip talking about Ed for five minutes. How about discussing exactly what rights artist's have to their creative property....?
Also, see Robin featured in Wooster Collective (big street art website)

The setting, colour and 'concept' sport are the clues to theft here. Is it possible to hold copyright on the execution of an idea? The 'idea' of a still photograph creating an illusory real from a mixture of drawing and the human form has been used by many?
Crap. Its an obvious rip-off. They should pay.There should be an organisation that raises funds to fight these cases in the courts.
Right, when fine art rips pop culture it 'references' , samples, re-mixes & mash-ups. When the corporations do it, it is theft. I don't have a problem with this. Where does this place someone like Obie Oberholzer, who was copied by Advertising S.A. Inc. for ten years? What about the Jetty Street Sharks, The Cut-Up Maps, the Bom Boys. Is there space left in which to say no, or does somebody have to take it to the courts, win an enormous amount of money, to create, through fear, such a space?
it was more entertaining when you were name checking michaelis lecturers for the title of ed's dad.
Everyone knows its Malcolm Payne
Has to be Gavin Younge
Gavin Jantjes?
