The latest and most egregious example is happening now to an artist that I am having a show with during ICFF/Design Week here in NYC,Doug Johnston.Anthropology already did it once,surprise surprise,but at least they had the decency to actually buy things from Doug in the past.But this Target thing is just too much.I know,
it happens all the time,but rarely in the design world is it
THIS BLATANT.The Fashion World,
forget about it, but that business works on a seasonal basis and is a
House of Incest anyway,but I digress....If you are an artist, and believe in honesty and integrity,pleaseboycott Target.If I had more time on my hands I would start a petition"Artists against Target"but I will leave that for someone else.So stop reading my babble,and look at Doug's work below and the Target rip-off,I would go as far as to call it a fake,and because of thatFUCK YOU TARGET!
Please post onTarget's Facebook page if you have as much of a problem with this as I do.Also,post this link:http://hawktrainer.tumblr.com/post/44158995428/i-began-creating-baskets-bags-and-sculptural in the comments sectionof their posts so it will stay up longer and be more visible.I did it so many times they blocked me for 'spamming'!HA!Oh yeah,and FUCKTARGET!
