'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!

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.

is not a big fan of “owning” colors and immediately created a “Freetone” plug-in to bring back the paywalled Pantone colors. Now, in response to Pantone’s Viva Magenta, Semple has released “Viva Meh-Genta." l8r.it/P2pF?

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.
