[Jef Aerosol]

It was altered : I ripped the bottom off and the signature looks far better now too !

this was the unaltered version :

[Jef Aerosol]

PM me if you want this Iggy !

[Jef Aerosol]

Funny : we discussed the question of being copied, plagiarized etc... in another thread (can't remember which one...) and my gallerist Anne Vignial has just sent me a link to a blog showing pics of a stencil that was obviously copied from my "sitting boy" !
She says it's in Iran, but I can't find any contact in the blog...
I'd send him a mail, and that guy might decide to be a bit more "personal" in his next stencils ! At the same time, as I said in that other thread, once we "offer" images on the street, they don't really belong to us any longer... And maybe I should just feel honoured of being copied !?

Have a look (scroll a bit down to see the sitting boy, there are 3 or 4 photos of him !) :

here's one :



and here's mine :





see how the cutting of the details in the body are exactly the same !?

AMAZING, ISN'T IT ?

I'd be interested in knowing what you guys would do in such a case... What would be your reaction ?

[dylan]

It sure is Jef ill say it again love your work

[Simococo]

Its got to be a good thing if someone is motivated enough to copy your work?

[Simococo]

Imitation is the best form of flattery too

[Jef Aerosol]

yes indeed, this is the reason why I confess having mixed feelings about that ! I'm in between a bit of anger and saying thank you to the guy for having copied my work ! Actually, I'd just like to chat with him and advise him on his future works, so that he could carry on stencilling and improving his own personal style... I don't resent him but need to exchange a few words, in a cool and relaxed way...
