I don’t make as much money as people think. The commercial galleries that have held exhibitions of my paintings are nothing to do with me. And I certainly don’t see money from the T-shirts, mugs and greeting cards. My lawyer calls me ‘the most infringed artist alive’ and wants me to do something about it. But if you’ve built a reputation on having a casual attitude towards property ownership, it seems a bit bad-mannered to kick off about copyright law.
Banksy, again.
Unbelievable. Shepard, are you reading this?
That someone this famous can remain this cool, calm and collected about being ripped off is remarkable. He makes a modest living when he could be making Obey as laughable as Ed Hardy. And he’s right. The anonymity he hides behind allows him to maintain a level-headed attitude about everything and I love it.
