Nobody in the contemporary art work moans and complains and about the constant use of Jeff Koon's dog and pictures of lobsters do they? no because they are who is he is and his work is PERFECTLY executed to the smallest detail thats what makes his pop culture references so amazing (and he has a team behind the scenes doing all this for him) Furthermore he has full permission from the respected companies to use the characters and even worked alongside disney to produce the Tweety figure and he probably even played a hand in helping create spongebob in the first place.
FYI if your still a non believer just watch this video and skip to 5 min's in and if your still a non believe then fair enough.

I would've loved to have seen a new Companion print released.

You can tart this up anyway you like, but it’s still just a large picture of SpongeBob square pants that would look ridiculous on any wall apart from a kids bedroom. $800 for that? Mental.

On another note, I was pondering this as my latest print release. *Disclaimer* This is a joke by the way...

Also why would this look ridiculous on the wall? do people think a 10 foot painting of the incredible hulk looks stupid on the wall? i would hate to tell a jeff koon's collector that!

You obviously didn't read my disclaimer...
And on a google search (isn't technology wonderful!), Stephen Hillenburg is the creator of SpongeBob. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hillenburg

Kaws • Sponge Bob KawsBob Set, Yellow, Black, Red, by Happy Shopper on Nov 5, 2010 15:59:24 GMT 1, I find it sad that there's still such a level of "a child/I/my mum could have done that" on this forum. No thought for any deeper meaning or history of an artist, just total surface value of an image, and whether you'd put in on the wall. Horses for courses I suppose...

It could also be said that this argument needs to be held up when the strength of the said image does not? But of course an understanding an artist helps and why he does what he does, but that will only take you so far.
Also the very nature of a 'print' is that it's a multiple of an image, so I assumed 'for the wall' i.e. created at a lower cost point for the masses to buy and view. Although in most cases for the portfolio until sold.

Are prints not supposed to end up on walls?
For $800 I would have thought so!
If not then your buying for the wrong reasons.
Also, how deep can an unaltered image (apart from crosses for eyes) of Songebob squarepants possibly be?
Its not like the crosses are exclusive to the subject. Its just Kaws signature.
Dont get me wrong. I dont bash all pop art. Just dont understand why this is a print.
You are right though, horses for courses.

Kaws • Sponge Bob KawsBob Set, Yellow, Black, Red, by rosstierney on Nov 5, 2010 16:37:12 GMT 1, I know it doesn't look much but considering we don't know how the print was created exactly, I think it's a bit ignorant to say things like "How is the image unaltered apart from the crosses for eyes?". I would like to think he hand-painted the image directly onto the screen without reference, a unique SpongeBob expression and an affordable example of his extraordinary line-work.
Here's where someone posts the reference and I lose some respect for KAWS...
