    Good video. But doesn't this demonstrate the hyper-commodification and hyper-consumerization of fine art? He went from parodying advertisement to being an advertiser. This is my opinion, but KAWS is just as much "art" as the stock photos that you see in picture frames. It exists only to sell the product it is attached to.

      Agreed. Once he became mainstream his work just became overpriced/overinflated collectibles for the wealthy to flex. To own a kaws companion became a status symbol you see them everywhere lol Just look at Drakes toosie slide video. Once marketing heads saw it's impact commercially stock in his work went through the roof.

      @@dfxstudios Exactly. I mean all art is inherently a commodity for the wealthy. Pretty much evey great artist had a rich patron. But to me there is something disingenuous about KAWS framing his early art as a criticism of advertisers who monopolized spaces and pushed out small and local artists, and then becoming that which he criticized.
      Again, I enjoyed the video and will definitely watch more. Just wondering, is there a reason why you didn't mention your criticism of KAWS in the video? I think it is important to have these sorts of discussions about art and consumerism. It is possible to appreciate a work of art while also criticizing the industry that it participates in.

      ​@ That's a good point. Tbh I try to stray away from my personal opinions when making videos for the channel, but sometimes I do offer my 2 cents. I try to tell the story with a non-biased informational/educational approach. The video was made to tell the story of kaws and how he became popular, not so much offer criticism. I do think more opinion based pieces could come in the future though.

    I think his figures are cool but tbh they're just overpriced paper weights at this point. Nothing against him but his work is over exposed and overvalued for what it is.

      Hard to argue!
