Kaws' new fan base, by ca on Nov 15, 2017 20:07:29 GMT 1, Is it me or Kaws has now become the one-stop art shop for fratbros and hypebeasts? Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate some of his work but the way things are evolving is a bit of a turnoff to me.
I know, quite an elitist view but hey, simply wondering if I was the only one witnessing this.

It happened with Shep and you can see that it's allowed him to pursue other interests and styles, and his art has evolved positively thanks to the opportunity that the base has created.
I always wish for nothing but success with stellar artists. KAWS has really taken his art up a notch, and I am sure he'll get tired of playing the corporate angle in a few years when he financially can be at ease. I look forward to seeing the progression and where his next period will put him.

I know, quite an elitist view but hey, simply wondering if I was the only one witnessing this. Sneaker/Bape/Supreme set has been rotating into art(Kaws,Murakami,Arsham,Invader etc). There will be some pain if one needs to liquidate in the short term IMO when things go bad. |

I do get that Kaws has been involved with the streetwear scene for quite some time but for some reason the following felt more genuine back then

Kaws' new fan base, by Daniel Silk on Nov 16, 2017 2:22:13 GMT 1, I don't think it's a new fan base, I think he has always had that angle, but he has just stepped it up in that type of scene.

His art is bland uninteresting based on slight re working of cartoon caracters etc. basic shit thats easily marketed to people who mistake it for intelligent design.
