Kaws, Former Graffiti (Tag) Artist
This segment profiles the artist known as KAWS, former Graffiti (tag) artist turned painter and designer of limited edition toys and clothing. This segment also features some cool clips of KAWS’ art, displayed in Pharrell Williams’ Miami Home and Kanye West’s latest album cover and billboard. You can catch his next exhibition, “KAWS, The Long Way Home,” February 21,— April 04, 2009 at the Honor Fraser Gallery in LA www.honorfraser.com or www.honorfraser.com “I just started simply through graffiti and drawing on my skateboard and painting on walls and getting that small recognition,” said KAWS, known to his family as Brian Donnelly. KAWS graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York with a BFA in illustration in 1996. After graduation, KAWS briefly worked for Disney as a freelance animator painting backgrounds. He also contributed to the animated series 101 Dalmations, Daria and Doug. He began his career as a graffiti artist growing up in Jersey City, New Jersey. Later moving to NYC in the 1990s, KAWS started subverting imagery on billboards, bus shelters and phone booth advertisements. These reworked advertisements were at first left alone, lasting for up to several months, but as KAWS’ popularity skyrocketed, the ads became increasingly sought after. In addition to NY, KAWS has done work in Paris, London, Berlin and Tokyo.

@megapengwenman You apparently don’t know anything about the the art world.
Kaws reaches out to the younger generation who live in areas where art is not appreciated, or where there are people who make art that they can’t relate to. If people can’t relate to it, they ignore it altogether. Sad, but true. A lot of artists have such big egos that they think their way is the only right way.
Sure he’s making money, but he’s still a sell out
@ShutterPhotograpghy Selling Out
@MrFrankBullitt Why would you say that?
oh, man, the brink of copy write infringement haha.

DIE FRESSE BEI 2:00
HAHAHAHAHA
ICH KÖNNT SO FEIERN XDD
Fard hat zurecht gewonnen…….Auf Freestyle Contest hat man zu freestylen.
Artist kommt mit auswendig gelernten Texten und macht auf künstlich arrogant.
Artist: Frag die leute einfach wär besser als Fard ist, 100% antworten darauf mit ARTIST! Du kriegst nen arschfick, du kannst wegbleiben Homie, du kannst nich batteln DU KANNST NUR RAPS SCHREIBEN ! WAS FÜR EINE IRONIE? 40 Sekunden später macht Fard den Back-Up für Artist’s” Freestyle” bei PANZERKETTEN! Fard hat gefreestyled und zerfickt!
@KiinGoFRap97 das is sowas wie das jeah immer ^^ würde ich sagen
Hat Artist gegen ihn mal gewonnen wenn ja link bitte
.
Der Artist hat die Texte vorher geschrieben das muss man doch wissen!!
Fand Artist auch viel besser und viel einfallsreicher ls FARD. Hab auch “Omerta” und “Alter Ego”, aber Artist bombt ihn einfach weg, besonders erste runde^^
Wie heißt der Beat bei 2:17
@KiinGoFRap97
artist rappt texte.. konnte bei ihm mitrappen, so schlecht von artist, sry..
/watch?v=4mardQ9DwtI&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL kollegaha diss
Artist getextet….
hey hört mal wie artist rappt ganz ehrlich. mir kommt des so spasthaft kp woher ihc das wort habe aber für mich kling so, ok bei disem battle war fard schlecht.
Der läuft rum als hätte er einen Stock im Arsch… Peinlich!
@KiinGoFRap97 ja normal weil der beat scheisse ist
und der deutsche affe rapte texte
@qTristanp
Er nimmt das nicht aus sein songs sonder aus sein freestylen
Hagen ♥
F fard
a aller beste
r rapper
d detschlands
artist hat so billige reime , fard hat die besten rhymes
@KiinGoFRap97
das liegt aber daran das er das hasst wenn die zuschauer immer dazwischen rufen das bringt den raus…
FARD BEST RAPPER GERMANY :*
genau wie bei gregpipe fard ist gut ja und er hat auch gegen gregpipe gewonnen allerdings übernimmt fard meiner meinung nach zu viel aus songs genau wie bei füd2 dort kommen genau die gleichen sätze wie gegen grepipe dran deswegen find eich vom reinen freestyle her ihn nicht so gut wie artist oder gregpipe
@KiinGoFRap97 Ja Mann aber dafür is doch was er nach seiner Bedenkzeit bringt echt geil^^…
