Doesn't surprise me at all as I always wondered why a narcissist such as Alec wouldn't want to show off his skills to his adoring IG fans. Well, guess he didn't have any skills except the skill to create a personality and hype his work. What a joke...

Alec Monopoly ๐บ๐ธ Graffiti โข Street Art โข Print Release, by cmodart on Sept 11, 2015 4:22:57 GMT 1, There are nearly 1,400 of Damien Hirst's "spot" paintings in existence.
The artist has only painted around 25 of them himself.
So who made the other 1,340 or so paintings, which regularly sell for tens of thousands of dollars?

Good riddance - this collection of artists ( under the loose label street art) needs to be reduced to the good artists - rest should get proper jobs

I think he may have a go at Alec and Forever 21 if he feels he's owed money. He doesn't care about the $$. He was doing Alec a favor by helping him start an art career, then to be exploited and backstabbed... As we speak Alec Monolopy is throwing mounds of cash at his to make it go away. Hopefully they will not be able to silence Mike. |

Killing two birds with one stone, both in the court of public opinion/eroding Alec's credibility, and sending a message to others that you should get your shit together before partnering with frauds. |

I've spoken to Alec's entourage, manager, and attorney.... The common theme is "inexperience". Even if you did have a work for hire agreement, it comes hand in hand with a non-disclosure and non-compete clause. But it was a huge mistake by management to not think of that. If I were Alec I would throw at least half my F21 deal to him and put him on salary for the rest of his life while making sure he signs a NDA and Non-compete. But I think when egos get as large as Alec's and his team's they convince themselves that they are on top of the world. |

I guess that happens when a person feels everything can be bought and paid for. Sadly in this American Culture, people worship individuals with excess, and lack of tact.

Certain states don't look favorable on non-competes (including California), however, pretty amatuer for them not to have a NDA in place, with a perpetual term and specific damages clauses. Curious to see how this plays out with his market (not that I am or will be a collector of his work anyway).

I thought the exact same thing when I heard about this scandal. The main difference is that while Hirst, Koons, or MBW may not actually execute the physical works, they act as an artistic director and create the concept and oversee execution (ideally anyways). This is sort of the opposite, where the artist does not create the idea but instead literally adapts the work of another. I've never been too dissuaded by the factory artist archetype as, IMHO, they still are the creative force behind the work regardless of who actually executes it. In contrast, Alec didn't even create the ideas, images, or composition of these lame ass monopoly man images.

Art has a certain draw, where there's a premium paid for having something that fully captures that creativity of the artists. It's hard for me to pay full price if that creativity is being facilitated by someone other than the guy/gal i think is behind it.
