If this would be a Banksy image, would this mean that all Coke Zero cans would be sold out by today?

Nah, background is red, massive difference.
I'm joking of course, blatant rip off. If it's not been authorised I foresee trouble ahead.
Brands seem to think they can freely steal from artists. #H&M

This in a nut shell. A hack got hacked. Normally I’d be up in arms with an artist getting ripped off, but since Martin seems to have no issues literally ripping off other artists I have little respect for the guy. That and he does the same tired decorative raffitti scribbling as if he invented tagging. Milk the cow

Art is widely imitation anyway. Centuries to back that up.
Real new ideas often give birth to a new art movement.

It's not about Whatson, it's about the carbon copy of an artist's creation, now just the idea. Art is widely imitation anyway. Centuries to back that up.

A global company as Coca Cola with its legal departments would of seeked copyright image release before using the image .
Many artists just use pictures / photographs from the internet without permission ,true street cred
Would the mentioned artist have done the same ?
Association is good pr

Coke Zero Martin Whatson rip-off?, by extraball on Sept 12, 2018 21:55:43 GMT 1, for an artist it is important to choose who to collaborate with. I do not think Coca is a pretty glamorous image to sign a big guy. Coca cola is one of the biggest polluter of the planet (plastic bottles that it can not handle ...) and reports show that it is catastrophic, especially in developing countries
If collaboration refers to a bad image, it can hurt your career ... it's a thought 
Whatson? the style on
