"[Everyone] thinks they’ve started too late, gets embarrassed, gets ripped off, gets nowhere [+ someone] across the room who looks like they’re doing better than everyone else...is privately wracked with doubt, asking themselves: ‘How to be an artist?’"

'The Assassination of Kurt Cobain' (studio view) - posting this to HOPEFULLY start a discussion. Acrylic & Charcoal on canvas, 2015 Not sure if when I painted it, people really got what I was on about... how capitalism swallows art i.e. the 'culture industry' assassinated Kurt.

Because forcing people to follow 'color trends' set by corporations to boost their profit is all shads of shady. The colour of the year needs to come home to the people. The new art war is with pantone - make no mistake we have them in the firing line! Please come onboard!

. @stuartsemple just released a color pigment through his online art supply store, Culture Hustle, that openly mocks Viva Magenta. It’s called Viva Meh-Genta, and 50-gram jars are available for pre-order now for $12.50 a piece. More on PRINT! l8r.it/cxT1

Grateful for the most passionate, hardworking studio team in the art game! A collective of talents & skills that make things we share possible. Nobody believed not-for-profit studio could work, but it has. Finally, decent party in the space before we move! LOVING MY CREW!

This flipping dog, I've got back to find the ravished remains of a box of twinkies strewn across the floor and one buried under my pillow!!

Disgusting - a major multi national sugar cartel and plastic polluter peddling their branded wares. The lowest of culture. The public are wise to this now...

Can't make this shit up. The company that demands payment for their printcoloursystem to be used in Photoshop, uses an image generator that is based on unlicenced (aka stolen) artworks, medical photographs, etc. Might (money) makes right

I don't know if you've seen this latest advertisement from Pantone... it was made with Midjourney, without paying any artists for their source work whatsoever.

You saw the clothes and posters all over FRIEZE. Loads of you have asked to have them on your wall… so we've been busy. A few prints will be available this Thursday at 3 pm on hitandrun.ltd - this is such a low special hand-done edition. Love Stuart x

OK PANTONE: I’ve liberated ‘colour of the year’ VIVA MAGENTA. Get yours & support this: ow.ly/NT7n50LUCHX I’m putting proceeds towards establishing our own democratic ‘people’s colour of the year' where whole art community will be part of deciding rather than a mega corp.

Anyone else feel like they're only just starting to thaw after the pandemic in terms being social and reconnecting with the world or am I just super slow to get back in the flow?

Stuart Semple is about to throw down on PANTONE and I am HERE for it.

Pantone - first of all they hold all the colours in Adobe hostage and ask creators for money to use them. Now they've announced the colour of the year is essentially pinkest pink! If it's a colour war #pantone want... It's a colour war they'll get! thedieline.com/blog/2022/11/1?

Who died and made #pantone in charge of what colour next year should be anyway? They're a corporation that controls and profits from proprietary colours. The colour of the year is just a way for them to generate free press for their dubious dealings.
