i quite like his stuff and the bloke did steal the pencils

it's a bit rich when DH clearly just copied that child's toy thing a few years ago (cross section of inside of a head IIRC) and passed it off as his own art. He is a bit up himself. I think Banksy would take it more in good grace.

this is the story i mean

Hirst not against a bit of copyright infringement when it suits

Damien Hirst is less an artist than a business man or, maybe more accurately, a marketing manager.

Oh I love this story, The young lad is fantastic, love seeing the little guys in this world sticking their middle finger up to the big guys.

He is no twat and has donated millions to my brother's hospice and continues to do so very discreetly, unlike many rich celeb/media twats who don't give a shite or will only give a shite if a Reality show is following them.

Iconic my arse.

Ballsofsteel - if he does that very discreetly how do you know that others don't too?

ballsofsteel · 10/09/2009 23:39

because I don't know about any others and this thread is about Damien Hurst not them and I happen to know what he donates.

He is not a cock. I liked his stuff before and I like it now.

The Tate is full of cunt's it's Gods way of keeping the useless twats out of our hair

That was worth resurrecting a ten year old thread for...
