Erik Brunetti Hates Shepard Fairey
Erik Brunetti, self proclaimed artist and owner of "action sports" clothing company Fuct, hates Shepard Fairey, creator of the Obey campaign.
Everyone hates you when you're on top, but to let your panties become so twisted that you post rants like this on your website is pretty kook if you ask me... Which you didn't. But whatevs.
"When I heard Shepard Fairey was having another show at the Merry Karnowsky Gallery [in Los angeles] I felt my stomach turn. Are you a revolutionary, Mr. Fairey? Judging by your Zapatistas, women in chadors, and punk rock icons I'd make the assumption you were. Then again, rebellion doesn't happen under the guise of multi-million dollar clothing companies. Nor is there any honor in having legions of kids wheat-paste your images for you, but I bet it's nice to keep your hands clean. Fairey's subjects acted out of desperation to become heroes and icons; buy into them, not the Obey Propaganda machine. In addition...I will be posting images of all the graphic ideas Mr. Fairey, has (in my opinion) robbed me of over the years...then you can judge for yourselves." - Erik Brunetti
Did dude forget he owns a streetwear company himself? Or that he screens rock iconography as well? Typical hater stee, for sure.
Bonus icing on the cake is one of Erik Brunetti's goons, Nick Agnew, and his Cobrasnake rant. Hate, formed like Voltron.
