I didn't even realize wtf you were talking about until I read the flyer more carefully ... I thought "Parlor Studio Gallery" was just an eccentric name for the place, but it's a hair salon ... HAHAHA

Awesome... Favorite post in this thread so far.

Yo iPath, you might want to take a peek at this.

viewtopic.php?f=15&t=10876

You have a lot of questions about your art over there. :/

Well, he never answered my question, but since he has posted his "opening photos" I think its pretty clear...

Rubyliths, album covers, t-shirts oh my!

Sweet.

Robo - I wasn't knocking the location, but laughing at the joke. Last gallery I went to at a hair salon featured a really good artist. His stuff was a little dark/goth for my tastes (somewhat like Micallef's darker stuff), but at least it was original.

i think by the sole fact that ipath2003 actually bought a "Big Proof" is enough for you guys to cut him some slack :)
http://www.expressobeans.com/members/co ... =15&page=1

i believe ipath posted here spamming his work prior to setting up the screenname ipath2003 because i remember someone spamming an ebay auction of that painting of the kid pointing his finger. anyway, it's obvious that he has an obsession with shepard and is desperate to make a name for himself - hell, that probably describes half the people here.... it's just a shame that he himself as an artist can't step back from his own work, take a really good look at it and realize that all he's done is rehashed someone else's work. as noverflow said "try to use it as inspiration, not as a style guideline", or maybe it would have been better to say "try to use it as inspiration, not as a photocopier".

ipath2003, good luck with finding your own style and the show... people here will get pretty nasty so just roll with the punches and hopefully they won't drive you away from the site.

art is and always has been the evolution of ideas and influences
there are no copyrights broken here far as i can see and if anything i'm sure the inspiring artist would take this showing as a compliment


ohhh forget it let's get back to bashing this poor guy on his proud day of artistic expression

I totally agree with you, but I just don't see any evolution here at all ... I'm just a regular guy with untrained eyes, so what do I know. It'd be interesting to know if he used his own face in his version of the Star logo and Center Face. A narcissist striving to find individualism through his art by copying someone else ... Ha!

when I first saw Ipaths show i was pretty mad but i thinks maybe we should take a deep breath
Ipath is obviously a bit immature but he can sure make stencils
he just needs to find an appropriate outlet
He certainly has a huge enthusiasm for shep, as someone said he did buy" big proof"
compared to the garbage of the " shep is going blind piece" from the maggot of an internet journalist
Ipath isn't hurting anyone so maybe we shouldn't grind him into the dirt
anyhoo

Its all good to talk about other peoples stuff no doubt. Yes i would like to work for studio # 1, we will see if it happens. I have no idea who Baxterpop is. "This guy smelled like a rat from day one" dude i have to be honest I never liked you and your comments. MY hope pasters will never be sold also if you read what i wrote i was just tryin to get my LIONS print now i have and i got signed the other night in NYC. So thank you. I have much respect for shep and i really dont care too much is to what you think. I agree with you noverflow you have to be careful as well as give him credit. Give credit where credit is due. I have to say mrxscarface28 you are super mature in your statements. lol thank you. " I hope you get hit by a bus on the way to your opening." Rubyliths? NO just windows in picked up on the side of the road people put into the garbage. Any way thanks for all the input guys. Great exposure!!! lol I will send you all invites to the next one. So please continue talkin about my stuff. More the better. The next series is going out to fallen athletes. Colors in blues maybe not sure yet. Be on the look out. Thanks again guys.


I'm glad that the only statement you got from my posts was "I hope you get hit by a bus on the way to your opening". Is that the only thing you dissected? Have you no response to claims that your execution and inspiration are a direct rip off? Your response is spoken like someone who's happy he's going to be making a buck off of works that were drawn from no inspiration of their own.

Like I said ... I'm all for creativity, but you sir are just another sheep "Obeying" to a capitalistic society that convinced you that selling, what appears to me as copies in both style, execution, and inspiration of someone else's art, was a good idea. Tell me ... what other artists' inspire you? Dissect and explain the steps in which you were "inspired" for your art.

You don't give credit where credit is due, at least from what we can see from the flyer and show itself. If you gave credit then, as I said before, more power to you and my bad for the bus comment. If not, then I hope you get hit by two buses.

I''d like to add that you have skills cutting stencils and making prints ... I'm not knocking on your abilities, I am just knocking your choice of inspiration, colors, and execution. I wouldn't be able to do better in a million years, but I'm pretty sure I could think up something different than the Star Icon, Center Face, or Rose in the gun before those million years are up.

If you really can't see why some people may not be happy with your choices, then to me, personally, it seems like all you care about is making money off of his inspiration. I don't see any obvious credit given to Shepard or Obey, which I think if credit is going to be given it should be obvious. If I got you pegged wrong, please explain. Being indifferent and aloof about peoples' claims you're copying Shepard just fans the flames.

I am the type of person that will admit he was wrong and will even apologize if proven wrong, so please ... prove me wrong.

Thanks

that's a fair question and i was thinking about asking the same thing. i figured he was into other artists but his entire EB collection consists of only shepard fairey work, there isn't a single thing that isn't obey related.

Shepard isn't Banksy.. you can't just completely rip his style off and get away with it. The positive thing after seeing these though is that I am certain you aren't making any fakes.
