Jason Freeny's Inappropriation (of a KAWS Companion), by El Pulpo on May 10, 2017 10:40:10 GMT 1, Thanks for sharing. I like more this version. To bad to see Kaws reacting that way.

Jason Freeny's Inappropriation (of a KAWS Companion), by Deleted on May 10, 2017 12:33:19 GMT 1, I guess there's two ways of looking at it. One is that Freeny does it to all the branded toys and therefore Kaws who created a brand by riding on the back of fashion adverts when he plastered his own name all over them to gain publicity for himself, is also fair game for Freenyism.
The other is that Freeny is promoting himself on the back of Kaws name knowing if he did Kaws toy that it would generate publicity.

Jason Freeny's Inappropriation (of a KAWS Companion), by soupy on May 10, 2017 13:21:49 GMT 1, i haven't been following this very closely (aside from hearing about the kaws comment)... i do like the naming and hashtag on IG.

Jason Freeny's Inappropriation (of a KAWS Companion), by Happy Shopper on May 10, 2017 14:46:45 GMT 1, I know I'm a fan of Kaws, so maybe not seeing it through fresh eyes, but to me this new version looks terrible!
As for it being more "correct", what about muscles? Freeny's version doesn't seem to have any, or space for them between bones and skin... so all that is nonsense.

Jason Freeny's Inappropriation (of a KAWS Companion), by Jim - Oh Yeah Gallery on May 12, 2017 13:29:02 GMT 1, It might be a generalisation but I think most artists / designers don't like their creative visions to be played with or gone over. I imagine KAWS might be feeling a bit that way.. It probably doesn't help that Freeny's anatomical interpretation gives a sharper look to the original.

This situation makes me think of this Portlandia clip.

Jason Freeny's Inappropriation (of a KAWS Companion), by jfactor on May 16, 2017 15:13:04 GMT 1, This situation makes me think of this Portlandia clip. While you made my day by posting a Portlandia clip, it doesn't really apply. The two issues that clip is concerned with are legality and quality. On the first front, Freeny's rendition is not a counterfeit or bootleg; it uses an a proper production piece as the base with alteration done to it. And there is no intent to create multiples, as this is a one-of-a-kind work of art. As for quality, I guess that's somewhat in the eye of the beholder, but I think anyone that takes a moment to access Freeny's work will admit it was done with skill and care, regardless of if it's their "cup of tea". Now, if my original post had been about Sucklord, then your video would've been spot onโฆย 
Lol fair enough. Until I posted this clip with subtitles, I always misheard Pimpson's for Kimpsons. Haha you can see where my head's at.
