Aren't you too busy plotting the overthrow of democratic governments over chai lattes while complaining about being poor and struggling to surf the web? How's your trust fund holding up?

Aren’t you too busy plotting the overthrow of democratic governments over chai lattes while complaining about being poor and struggling to surf the web?

How’s your trust fund holding up?

Evidently even his supporters can't write original statements. The funny thing, all the comments above have been copied and pasted across numerous blogs about this controversy.

That's too bad, still a coffee jockey at starbucks, mark? The only people that whine like this are those that are not making a decent living in art and wish that they were.

It's a time-honored tradition among the second-rate and failing. The fact that he passed out literature-- including HIS OWN ART-- amongst those standing in line at Fairey's show ought to tell you he's simply an opportunist out to raise his own profile. If he were truly interested in constructive dialogue he would have picked up the phone and made the local call to Fairey to ask him about it. Then, if he wasn't satisfied with the answers-- or at least wanted to include them-- he could have offered up the other side of the coin. Instead, he posted a shrill call of "Look at Me!" in hopes of selling a few more canvases of his Jr. High caliber artwork. Pretty sad, really.
