Document Summary
Skeme: making its way into the art work, racial profiling is a huge deal. Makes a lot of art work against sexism, rape culture. Mainstream invites it to be invest: vs. mass produced graffiti being shipped and sold to ikea, comes down to personal ethos. Sued for the picture it went viral for obama campaign. When you re- appropriate something, you change the meaning: discussion sparked. Is it possible to maintain counterculture while working and collaborating with mainstream. Could always sell your brand , hard to maintain control once you let it go. Pinstripper, cartooning along the way: before then, t- shirts = undershirt, 1000+ t- shirt designs. Get a hang out going for writers, artists, musicians etc. So over the top that it becomes valuable. Started justapoz: number #1 art archive in the world at that time (?) Henrick drescher: influenced by a lot of past illustrators. Theispot = stock images that he sells.
