seeking Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 unless you regularly check ebay for old paint, you're probably not familiar with the phenomenon that is no name motherfuckers trying to pimp themselves on ebay, posing as super famous writers. now, maybe they are and i'm just completely out of the loop, but i've never heard of any of the fools that post up on there with some 'ill write your name in graffiti for $_____. or offer canvases, of their name (which ive never heard of) to the highest bidder. maybe it's just me, but the way i look at it... quit trying to hamburger pimp, sucker. if you're cope, and you want to get over by selling $400 canvases, fine, you've earned that right. but if you're some fucking no name dude from no name no-where, why the fuck are you trying to sell your shit for $20, to a bunch of people that could give a fuck less? anyway, i just wanted to share that. if anyone would like to get an idea of what i'm talking about. go to ebay and type in 'krylon'. (dont bother typing in graffiti you'll get a million dudes trying to sell led zeppelin albums and boring old movies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Priest Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I think whats worse is when a well known writer i.e. Mear does something like give his stickers to a gallery at a really low price, like a couple of bucks for a pack and then signs the pack and then next thing you know someone picks up the sticker pack and sells it on ebay for 60 or 70 dollars. Not only does the artist get cut out of the money, but the idiot on ebay gets ripped off.. shit sucks. (I saw a packet of his stickers selling for 8 dollars at a gallery a little while ago, saw them on ebay at 60 - claiming they were " Exclusive and a once in a life time deal.")

I have to scroll through three pages of bullshit with like 10 can listings mixed in between. Fucking drives me crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentBob Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I havn't seen it. So I don't know how famous they're claiming to be. But unless they're going "I'm a internationally well-recognised graffiti artist" who cares ? If its making them happier then they can do what ever they want. Its not hurting you in anyway (that I can see) so I don't know why it bothers you. Just my 2cents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiSe Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 About the Artist: KAI got the graffiti bug at an early age and spent his teenage years and young adulthood defacing property. He now brings you his raw styles on canvas for safer viewing at home. http://i9.ebayimg.com/02/i/01/f4/5c/c1_1_b.JPG'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
