IDGAF how much art you bought. that is so disgusting to "collect" art, art should not be a commodity

1, clearly you don't get sarcasm. If I could afford a Goya I'd be dictating letters to the editor of the new yorker to my live-in butler, not posting on NS.
2. stop being a bitch. Everything is a commodity, that's how the world turns. people buy what they like. let them be.

So it should only be displayed in museums? Or only street art maybe? I have no clue what the fuck you are trying to say OP. Maybe that people need to release art into the wild where it can be free? Because you can't own it.

Ok, OP is troll. Also in the off chance that you aren't, classical art never would've existed without private collections because people wouldn't have time or money at all to make art. Also, there would be a lot fewer artists in the world right now if purchasing art weren't a thing because you can't be a professional artist if you aren't getting any money off of it because you would have to work another job and would have little to no time for art.

Many brands have profited off Keith Haring, and Obey is owned by Shepard Fairey.. Who is a street artist.. What are you trying to say op?

pretty straightforward idea, stealing somebody elses creative work and making a profit is the lowest form of scumbag, un original shit. i used to like shepard fairey but he seems to be making this keith haring line a staple of obey.

I drew a pretty sweet picture of Troy burning during the Trojan War for Latin class. I got a perfect 100 and none of the kids in the class though I did it myself.

Why the hell does this bother you? One of the best ways to learn any form of art is by trying to imitate the pros and their techniques
