SodaHead Celebrates Green Week

back Raves

Stay on target people... A Rep for Ed Hardy came up to the House of a Very Famous Pin-Up Artist I used to work for in Malibu, I know alot of people don't know who this "Guy" is, but the Rep, CEO or whom-ever drove up in a Lamborghini Murcielago, it wasnt a Rental either. We are talking BIG BUCKS here, forget about Boycotting because you have some fukhedz here that will "still buy ANY shirts even Ed's because theyre cool" or they just dont care or live out in the Backbone of America, the REAL people that do an honest living and keep the country thriving. They could care less for what the folks here in Ca. or New York or what-ever big city types wear. Gather petitions, but mostly, Get a Lawyer, bite them in the Ass where it hurts-theyre pockets, SUE them. The Pin-Up artists Husband asked my co-worker "what do you think?" (He hand-prints his own T-Shirt line) and he just told him, from what he heard, he doesn't like how they handle and market things and do business, "theyre kinda' shady". Plus, the "offer" they made to the Artist was really lame, especially for an Established Artist who is famous around the World. This isn't a joke people, if you heard of Ed or not, YOU all have to look at ANY shirt you own with Print, someone had to draw that, it takes a special skill to create Art that people think good enough to market and Brand their Company. Lets take it to the extreme, EVERYTHING around you had to be drawn! So if you get paid for your 9 to 5, shouldnt an Artist with a Professional Skill get paid? You bought it, so that means a Product works for you, the creator then- needs to be compinsated. Here in Lost Angeles/California, Ed's stuff is huge, and all I see is posuers, middle aged Men who want to look "young" and Female fashionistas wear their stuff, but they are "buying/paying" those rediculous prices for them. PLEASE tell your friend, to not only SUE them, but create a Blog because it may have happened to other Artists as well. Remember Ed himself may have not Ripped your friend off personally, but his Reps represent HIM, its HIS name. SUE the Fux!!! For Ed's story see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... I wish your friend great success, from one Artist to another. And you "Buyers", realize the Artists that create the shirts you like, usually get hosed, but once in a while, we work with fantastic people :D
