I think I may have read the same story, it was right after he did a bunch of the lou reed supreme posters/the kermit ones that eradicator thing is insane.

I mean Kaws makes TONS of money just slapping X's on stuff. well i guess if your goal as an artist is to make lots of money, then lacking versatility is fine. some artists are really good painters but can only work on canvas, some artists are low on talent and seem to only be skilled at making lots of money by marketing themselves to the vacuous and cannibalistic art scene which prides itself on being lowbrow and high culture. to each his own, i guess.

 Re: Picking up where KAWS left off
If he is doing it just to be doing it, I think it is pretty awesome. I like seeing altered advertisements out randomly for some reason.
