I am so fed up with people
RIPPING OFF
artists I know.
The latest and most egregious example
The latest and most egregious example
is happening now to an artist that I am
having a show with during ICFF/Design Week
here in NYC,
Anthropology already did it once,
surprise surprise,
but at least they had the decency to actually buy things from Doug in the past.
But this Target thing is just too much.
I know,
it happens all the time,
it happens all the time,
but rarely in the design world is it
THIS BLATANT.
THIS BLATANT.
The Fashion World,
forget about it,
forget about it,
but that business works on a seasonal basis and is a
House of Incest anyway,
House of Incest anyway,
but I digress....
If you are an artist, and believe in honesty and integrity,
please
boycott Target.
If I had more time on my hands I would start a
petition
"Artists against Target"
but I will leave that for someone else.
So stop reading my babble,
and look at
Doug's work below and the Target rip-off,
I would go as far as to call it a
fake,
and because of that
Please post on
page if you have as much of a problem
with this as I do.
Also,
post this link:
in the comments section
of their posts so it will stay up longer and be more visible.
I did it so many times they
blocked me for
'spamming'!
HA!
Oh yeah,
and
!
I did what you said!
ReplyDeleteRight On!!!
DeleteHonestly I don't really get it. I've seen these designs for years and my family members even make baskets like that and have, I'm told, for decades.
ReplyDeleteTiffany, you hit the nail on the head, you don't get it. That being said, I would love to see pictures of your families baskets. Thanks- MB
Deleteoh- yeah - reeking diseases to all counterfeiters!

Man that sucks...there might be just enough variation... but still- I like Johnston's chances for a settlement if he sues!
ReplyDeleteHow about printing up little pieces of paper with a short version of this post and Doug's website and dropping them in the baskets at Target?
ReplyDeleteDooooo eeeettt!!!!!!!!!!
