I want a shirt now, even knowing it's fake, after watching this as it could be a little piece of history!

I also appreciate that this was done in a time were property outweighs artistic growth and profit is the primary interest.

[@peachykid2391]

the reason why profit is the primary interest over "artistic growth" is because of content like this. this isn't an interpretation of his work. what has been interpreted? both his illustration AND style has been simply taken and put with their logo - there is no personality from them. there is a conceptual and fundamental difference between what marcel duchamp did and what this video aims to do. marcel duchamp was challenging social ideas and took risks because he wanted to make fun of traditionalist art - he made that his defining signature. kaws did his own when he played with advertisements. push product is poor, needed money and decided to take advantage of kaws' work to get more subscribers. they do not have any creativity.

the skull the X's eyes and the bones are a rip off of a brand of skateboardind products called Bones, its not even his idea

[@wcj_ink]

@@insanedb 🤣 crossed eyes and crossbones have been branded in many different brands for ages. Each one unique in style which is what Kaws did. He created his own version of a crossbone skull but this is straight up ripping off Kaws by putting his crossbones on products to make it look like he collaborated. Another example of another artist making his own version of something is takashi murakami, anyone notice his flowers look like the baby first flower on tv? Just changed the eyes and mouth and he made his own version of it.

@@wcj_ink the funny thing is that you consider that as art you are just as sub product

[@automospeedcrew]

Kaws is an inspiration. I hope he was down with your unofficial collab!

[@joako1746]

This shit lowkey genius

[@Rabbit-lh5ih]

I'm super stoked KZbin actually recommended me something good for once. This video was really educating and entertaining. Thanks! Subbed

I 3D print companion figurines in my house cause it’s cheaper that way

[@MickeyElkarany]

Do you have any pictures on IG or anything with how they came out? Im curious to see how that would look.

[@leo-4593]

Plot twist This was just an elaborate commercial and we wasted 15 minutes of our lives.

[@christianxxiii]

Subbed and Liked, as a huge fan of Kaws you guys really outdid yourselves with this one

[@Glass_Caskets]

“How can we be fun, creative, smart, aaaand reach people” In other words “how can we make money” “And this is how you rip off a rip off artist and claim it’s OK because you aren’t the first one to do it”

[@peachykid2391]

👏

[@knifetoothsoundproductions6490]

This guys obviously doesn’t get the concept of a collaboration.

[@alexclarke7573]

Gaming Smilodon you clearly don’t get the whole point of the video

[@legitballin1986]

Or licensing 🤣

[@sharingiscaring53]

Nibba this isn’t a good thing to promote especially if he placed these shirts in them uniqlo as well as at the time when uniqlo was selling their collaboration with kaws. Kaws can sue and the customers and uniqlo. It wouldn’t stop there you can go to jail for this. Selling fakes to customers is fully against the law.

MY MANS IN CHICAGO THAT UNIQLO IS IN CHICAGO

[@ivanharris8472]

Did everyone buying the product know it wasn't actually kaws or uni qlo

[@たなかかげやま]

Ivan Harris NOPE but he emailed everyone who made an order LMAO

[@aiahkonomanyi6938]

probably the most insightful video yet ,legit took so much from this video , This channel is wayyyy to underrated

[@Chem0cal]

This whole video, despite being very well made, just seems passive aggressive in a jealous way

[@fourplayerarcade]

The truth sounds like that sometimes

[@milenaorjuela7106]

how?

[@davidsno661]

Yoo this really helped me put my ninja line into perspective. Ps, this is my first exposure to you fellas, so keep it up.

[@ketvoski]

kaws does collaborations with those icons and brands, he doesn't steal them

[@trevorhandberry2158]

3 yrs later and this video is STILL A BANGER!

[@LucratorGames]

This video is completely useless let the man do what he has to do to grow. The art community it is all about support not jealousy

[@milenaorjuela7106]

they did a whole video on KAWS, how is that not supporting him?

[@YoKhai1221]

Yo first time here, I love the video very fun and informative! Looking forward to Future content!!
