Hooked Up - Thank You 'X'

X has been getting his art out to some really cool places lately, on the streets and into the homes of celebrities.

And some people are going to hate, but that just means you're doing something right . . .

Some folks have said that they don't like using 'famous people' imagery in street art, and for the most part we agree. But they have used that to try and demean what X has done, and to that we totally disagree. We think that X's selection of Andy Warhol, and his use of it as a 'Thank You' to other artists is absolutely brilliant. It is not some random celebrity, but one specially aimed for the artistically slanted-the ones that actually look for and see street art.

And X's true depth as an artist can be seen in the quality of the pieces themeselves. (in the second pic Qtip is getting a closer look at the background of the Andy poster that is highly detailed and has street art and tags hidden in there).

Furthermore, X is not a one-trick-pony and from his gallery work to other pieces on the streets, X has many different facets, yet the Andy one is the only one people keep talking about. We think that just goes to show how impactful and relevant the Andy piece truly is.

We are thrilled to add this piece, and the stickers, from X into our collection.

Thanks X!
