Send Burton my site, if they're paying artists instead of offering "opportunities" I'll do work, if they're bamboozeling hard working artists they can go file chapter 11 for all I care.

 

its those "artists" that will work for pennies or "opportunities" that fuck up the game for the ones looking for actual payment for service rendered...show them their "art" on a skateboard and give them some stickers and 2 t-shirts and they are sold! scrubs

I do fully understand that HOWEVER, some artists do have to begin somewhere. Not saying its wrong or right but not everyone has the rep that some dudes do like EWOK5MH, etc...

 

Just throwing it out there, I do understand it can kink the system of FULL PAYMENT!

The vinyl indu$try a$ well a$ the $neaker indu$try is FLOOOOODED with a bunch of non self re$pecting arti$t$ just trying to get on. The outcome is an industry where you request the good money you deserve for proper compensation and if the company doesn't want to pay they just go to the next artist treading water in a dog eat dog ces pool/ And the next choice after you we all know isn't as good as you are, or they would've been asked before you. The 2nd issue with that is these companies don't know quality art if it was found in their attic and worth $20 million. Have you seen these silly "street art" campaigns on Pepsi cans or Ice tea cans right now? They're is no quality control, it could be elementary school kids dong this art for all I know now. These companies need to hit brick walls when it comes to an artist and what he's worth, he should get. Outcome is an industry flooded with $starving arti$t$. I cannot tell you how many magazine interviews, shoe deals, toy deals and even book features I've turned down because I truly believe we ALL should be paid when our art is featured ANYWHERE. I don't care if its in a graffiti magazine, my hard work shouldn't benefit the street cred of some guy printing a magazine with people paying for add placement.

 

Maybe this isn;'t the right forum to speak on this topic but hopefully some other people into my shit wth some self respect for their own work will be willing to say no next time their offered something instead of doing it for free. The old argument used to be if someone was "$selling out" , the new issue should be if your "selling anything at all"

 

More power to any and all artist who can survive on their craft and not have to work a 9-5 and then come home and stay up all night doing art for FREEEEE????? Get outta here. For the love is one thing, don;t get it twisted. But the artist has the responsibility to set your own bar of what you won;t get bamboozled into. Stand your ground and turn it down if it's not worth it.

 

Get organized.

i was thinking the same thing about thos pepsi cans, also think their is some subliminals in the art some where, if its not direct subversive control.

 

on a brighter side, fuck burton. bro i seen some sites that you can design your own boards.

i say if you are thinking of expancing your store a lil design some custom boards with your cartoon style and slang them shits.

burton charged me like 3 bills or more for my 7 board. so im sure you can fly some real shit for about 4 ot 5, and still have them selling. cause i really want to see some real graff boards fuck that bs wanna be graff art boards. even tho thats all i could find.

 

long live ewok cartoons haha

 

no worrys i know what you mean. im just speaking my mind.
